CodeIgniter: Populating two tables through two arrays from the same form? - php

Question

I tried doing the following and surprisingly it only populates the first table (new_guest) while writing only zero values to the other (new_reservation). How can I properly configure this?
Controller:
function guest_checks_in() {
$data_guest = array (
'guest_title' => $this->input->post('guest_title'),
'guest_name' => $this->input->post('guest_name'),
'guest_gender' => $this->input->post('guest_gender'),
'guest_phone' => $this->input->post('guest_phone'),
'guest_email' => $this->input->post('guest_email'),
'guest_address' => $this->input->post('guest_address'),
'guest_province' => $this->input->post('guest_province'),
'guest_country' => $this->input->post('guest_country'),
'guest_postal_code' => $this->input->post('guest_postal_code'),
'guest_dob' => $this->input->post('guest_dob'),
'guest_nic_pp_dl' => $this->input->post('guest_nic_pp_dl')
);
$data_reservation = array (
'room_type' => $this->input->post('room_type'),
'meal_type' => $this->input->post('meal_type'),
'bed_type' => $this->input->post('bed_type'),
'ext_beds' => $this->input->post('ext_beds'),
'number_of_guests' => $this->input->post('number_of_guests'),
'start_date' => $this->input->post('start_date'),
'end_date' => $this->input->post('end_date'),
'reservation_duration' => $this->input->post('reservation_duration'),
'room_number' => $this->input->post('room_number'),
'total' => $this->input->post('total')
);
$this->reservations_model->add_guests($data_guest);
$this->reservations_model->add_reservations($data_reservation);
$this->confirm_check_in();
}
Model:
class Reservations_model extends CI_Model {
function add_guests($data_guest) {
$this->db->insert('new_guest', $data_guest);
return;
}
function add_reservations($data_reservation) {
$this->db->insert('new_reservation', $data_reservation);
return;
}
}

Answer 1

it will be good if you use transaction. if data in both tables must be entered.
function guest_checks_in() {
$data_guest = array (
'guest_title' => $this->input->post('guest_title'),
'guest_name' => $this->input->post('guest_name'),
'guest_gender' => $this->input->post('guest_gender'),
'guest_phone' => $this->input->post('guest_phone'),
'guest_email' => $this->input->post('guest_email'),
'guest_address' => $this->input->post('guest_address'),
'guest_province' => $this->input->post('guest_province'),
'guest_country' => $this->input->post('guest_country'),
'guest_postal_code' => $this->input->post('guest_postal_code'),
'guest_dob' => $this->input->post('guest_dob'),
'guest_nic_pp_dl' => $this->input->post('guest_nic_pp_dl')
);
$data_reservation = array (
'room_type' => $this->input->post('room_type'),
'meal_type' => $this->input->post('meal_type'),
'bed_type' => $this->input->post('bed_type'),
'ext_beds' => $this->input->post('ext_beds'),
'number_of_guests' => $this->input->post('number_of_guests'),
'start_date' => $this->input->post('start_date'),
'end_date' => $this->input->post('end_date'),
'reservation_duration' => $this->input->post('reservation_duration'),
'room_number' => $this->input->post('room_number'),
'total' => $this->input->post('total')
);
$this->reservations_model->add_all_guests($data_guest,$data_reservation);
$this->confirm_check_in();
}
in model
function add_all_guests($data_guest,$data_reservation) {
$this->db->trans_begin();
$this->db->insert('new_guest', $data_guest);
$this->db->insert('new_reservation', $data_reservation);
if ($this->db->trans_status() === FALSE)
{
$this->db->trans_rollback();
return false;
}
else
{
$this->db->trans_commit();
return true;
}
}
