Codeigniter help with user registration script - php

Question

:) This question is for anyone familiar with the Tankauth plugin.
I edited tankauth so that user profiles are populated without email validation.
In the registration form I added and validated two more fields named “first_name” and “last_name” which I want to add to the user_profiles table when the form is submitted.
Below is the tankauth function that adds the user id to the user_profiles table if user is activated. I commented out if ($activated). The problem is that I don’t know how to insert my new fields first_name and last_name to the db. I keep getting errors for anything I try.
function create_user($data, $activated = TRUE)
{
$data['created'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$data['activated'] = $activated ? 1 : 0;
if ($this->db->insert($this->table_name, $data)) {
$user_id = $this->db->insert_id();
//if ($activated)
$this->create_profile($user_id);
return array(
'user_id' => $user_id,
'first_name' => $first_name, //added by me
'first_name' => $first_name, //added by me
);
}
return NULL;
}
The above is connected with
private function create_profile($user_id)
{
$this->db->set('user_id', $user_id);
$this->db->set('first_name', $first_name); //added by me
return $this->db->insert($this->profile_table_name);
}
Can someone please share some guidance?

Answer 1

Try removing the private in private function create_profile
Also you might want to change your create_profile function to be:
function create_profile( $user_id ) {
$data = array(
'user_id' => $user_id,
'first_name' => $first_name // Hopefully this is being set correctly.
);
return $this->db->insert( $this->profile_table_name, $data );
}
If none of those work. Try using echo $this->db->last_query();
Hope that helps.
