select-from-where query not working in codeigniter model - php

Question

I am trying to select the details of the users from a table in mysql database but it is not working. This is the code in my model :-
public function getuserdetails()
{
$user_email = $this->input->post('email');
$query_userdetails = $this->db->query("SELECT *
FROM users WHERE email = '$user_email' ");
return $query_userdetails->result_array();
}
This is not working. But if I put the actual email id in the query instead of $user_email it works but not properly i.e if I use :-
$query_userdetails = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE
email = 'myemail#gmail.com' ");
In this case it returns a result. My controller code to accept the result is :-
$data['details'] = $this->model_userdetails->getuserdetails();
But the problem is that when I access $details in view :-
echo $details['name']."<br />";
it does not recognize 'name'. name is the field in the database where the name of the users are stored. But if I try to retrieve it in a foreach loop it is working :-
foreach($details as $udetails)
{
echo $udetails['name']."<br />";
}

Answer 1

Run queries as per codeigniter suggestion
$query_userdetails = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ?", array($user_email));

Answer 2

I would try:
$query_userdetails = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '". $user_email ."'");

Answer 3

I have solved the part where only foreach loop would work.
If we use row_array instead of returning result_array() the foreach constraint to diplay goes away.
Now I want to select the name from the database where email is $user_email

Answer 4

You have to write like this
public function getuserdetails()
{
$user_email = $this->input->post('email');
$this->db->where('email', $user_email)
->get('users')
->result_array();
}
After this, in view, you must to write like this
foreach($details as $udetails)
{
echo $udetails['name']."<br />";
}

Answer 5

You can try like This:
[CONTROLLER]
$data = array();
$data['udetails'] = $this->UserModel->getuserdetails();
$this->load->view('welcome_message',$data);
[MODEL]
public function getuserdetails() {
$user_email = 'webmaster';
$userdetails = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE umail = '$user_email' ");
return $userdetails->result();
}
[VIEW]
<?php
foreach($udetails as $row)
{
echo($row->uname.'<br/>');
echo($row->uname);
}
?>
