Can't Update Phone Number in Codeigniter - php

Question

I cant seem to update the Phone Number, I am new to Codeigniter and been trying to figure out what I am doing wrong.
This is my MODEL:
function updatePhone($submit_userid, $submit_phone) {
$this->db->where("intMemberID", $submit_userid);
$this->db->update("tblMembers", array(
"strPhoneNumber" => $submit_phone
));
}
This is my CONTROLLER:
public function updateAccount() {
$this->load->model('updateModel');
$this->load->model('userModel');
$data['userdata'] = $this->session->userdata('userobject');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('phone', 'Phone', 'required|min_length[8]|max_length[12]|xss_clean');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == false) {
$this->load->view('updateView', $data);
} else {
$submit_userid = $this->input->post('userid');
$submit_phone = $this->input->post('phone');
$this->userModel->updatePhone($submit_userid, $submit_phone);
redirect('updateController/updateAccount');
}
}
This is my VIEW:
<?php
echo validation_errors();
echo form_open('updateController/updateAccount');
echo '<input type="hidden" name="userid" value=' . $userdata->intMemberID . '/> <br/>';
echo "$userdata->strMemberFirstName $userdata->strMemberLastName";
echo "<br>";
echo "Phone Number: <input type='text' name='phone' placeholder='$userdata->strPhoneNumber'/>";
echo '<INPUT type="submit" value="Update" name="submit"/>';
echo form_close();
?>

Answer 1

you can try this update statement, even if this doesnot works out then please check the column type you are using (varchar or whatever and its size if its conflicting or not)
<?php
$data['strPhoneNumber'] = $submit_phone;
$this->db->where('intMemberID', $submit_userid)->update('tblMembers', $data);
?>

Answer 2

You never perform an update to the database. The select statement is not needed in an update, you pass the table name to the update method.
function getUpdate($submit_userid, $submit_phone) {
$this->db->where("intMemberID", $submit_userid);
$this->db->update("tblMembers", array(
"strPhoneNumber" => $submit_phone
));
}
And you shouldn't really call the method getUpdate, it's not really semantic since you're not actually getting anything. updatePhone might be a better name.

Answer 3

try to print out the error
return $this->db->update("tblMembers", array );
var_dump the updatePhone result and you will see whether there is an error with table or something else
make sure it returns true before redirecting

Answer 4

$data = array(
"strPhoneNumber" => $submit_phone
);
$where = "intMemberID = ".$intMemberID;
//generate the query string not executing
$str = $this->db->update_string('tblMembers', $data, $where);
echo '<pre>';
echo $str;
die;
Put the above code in your function, verify the query string
