    </tr>

   <tr>
        <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" name="btn"  value="Save" tabindex="9"/></td>
    </tr>

Controller:

     public function savecontent()
    {
        date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Dhaka');
       foreach($this->input->post('category_name') as $rm){           
        $data=array(

        $now = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"),

        $data['admin_id']=$this->session->userdata('admin_id'),
        $data['category_name']=$this->input->post('category_name',true),
        $data['content_headline']=$this->input->post('content_headline',true),
      $this->load->library('upload');
    $config['upload_path'] = './images/news_images/';
    $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|mp3';
    $config['max_size'] = '100000';
    $config['max_width'] = '1024';
    $config['max_height'] = '720';
    $error = '';
    $udata = '';
    $udata1 = '';
    $udata2 = '';
    $udata3 = '';

    $this->upload->initialize($config);
    if (!$this->upload->do_upload('image')) {
        $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());

    }
    else {

        $udata = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data()); 
         $data['image'] = "images/news_images/" . $udata['upload_data']['file_name'];

    }

    );

       }     

    $this->co_model->save_content($data);
  }

Model:

  public function save_content($data)
{

        $this->db->insert('content',$data);

}

this code shows me database array error. so now how i solve this problem?

Answer 1

Move $this->co_model->save_content($data); inside foreach loop.

Try this code

public function savecontent()
{
    date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Dhaka');
    foreach($this->input->post('category_name') as $rm)
    {           
        $data=array();

        $now = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"),

        $data['admin_id']=$this->session->userdata('admin_id'),
        $data['category_name']=$this->input->post('category_name',true),
        $data['content_headline']=$this->input->post('content_headline',true),
        $this->load->library('upload');
        $config['upload_path'] = './images/news_images/';
        $config['allowed_types'] = 'gif|jpg|png|mp3';
        $config['max_size'] = '100000';
        $config['max_width'] = '1024';
        $config['max_height'] = '720';
        $error = '';
        $udata = '';
        $udata1 = '';
        $udata2 = '';
        $udata3 = '';

        $this->upload->initialize($config);
        if (!$this->upload->do_upload('image'))
        {
            $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());        
        }
        else 
        {        
            $udata = array('upload_data' => $this->upload->data()); 
            $data['image'] = "images/news_images/" . $udata['upload_data']['file_name'];        
        }
        $this->co_model->save_content($data);
     } 
}
