Update a database record using codeigniter

Question

I have been having a problem... a frustrating problem at that. I cannot seem to edit a specific row in Codeigniter . I have found previous questions on the same here, and even tried the solutions but to no avail. I am press for time on this project I am undertaking. Before you regard this question as a duplicate please have a look see. Any help will be greatly appreciated... Thank you in advance My code snippets are below:

Codeigniter/Controller

<?php..

    //Selects all from admin table
        function get_admin(){
                $data['query'] = $this->Superuser_Model->selectadmin();
        }
        //brings in the view
        // function editAdmin(){
        //  $data['content'] = 'admin/edit_admin';
        //  $this->load->view('include/template_back', $data);
        // }
        //click a specific row in the view (tabulated data)
        function edit($id){
            $data['array']= $this->Superuser_Model->editadmin($id);         
            // $data['content'] = 'admin/edit_admin';
            $this->load->view('include/header_back');
            $this->load->view('admin/edit_admin', $data);
            $this->load->view('include/footer_back');
        }
        //Should update the from
        function update_superuser(){
            $this->form_validation->set_rules('username','Username','required');
            $this->form_validation->set_rules('password','Password','required');
            if($this->form_validation->run()==FALSE)
            {
                $data['content'] = 'admin/add_admin';
                $this->load->view('include/template_back', $data);
            }
            else
            {
                $username = $this->input->post('username');
                $password = md5($this->input->post('password'));
                $date_added = $this->input->post('date_added');
                $this->Superuser_Model->update_superuser($username,$password,$date_added);
                redirect('login/index', 'refresh');
            }

        }
..?>

Codeigniter/Model

    <?php...
    function selectadmin(){
            // $id = $this->uri->segment(3);
            $query = $this->db->get('admin');       
            return $query->result_array();
        }
        function editadmin($id){
            $id = $this->uri->segment(3);
            $query = $this->db->get('admin');
            $this->db->where('adminID', $id);       
            return $query->result_array();
        }
        function update_superuser($data, $id){
            $this->uri->segment(3);
            $id = $this->input->post('adminID');
            $data = array(
                            'username'=> $this->input->post('username'),
                            'password'=> $this->input->post('password'),
                            'date_added'=> $this->input->post('date_added')
                        );
            $this->db->where('adminID', $id);
            $this->db->update('admin', $data);
        }

Answer 1

Seems like not correct $array['username'] , $array['password'] and $array['date_added'] . Print out $array first and you'll see what's wrong.

Answer 2

I see a few things... Firstly, you are trying to use the $this->input->post method which is beyond the scope of the model (relevant only to the controller). This is what provides you with the php errors...

Secondly, you are passing the right parameters to the model (minus cleaning them from XSS attacks, notice), but you are accepting different ones, so in the model your function should look something like this

function update_superuser($username, $password, $data_added){

        $id = $this->input->post('adminID'); // I believe you should be getting the id from the database/session honestly, much safer in these cases
        $data = array(
                        'username'=> $username,
                        'password'=> $password,
                        'date_added'=> $data_added
                    );
        $this->db->where('adminID', $id);
        $this->db->update('admin', $data);
    }

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

You are passing 3 parameters to your update_superuser() function here

$this->Superuser_Model->update_superuser($username,$password,$date_added);

and your function in your model only takes 2 params:

function update_superuser($data, $id){ $this->uri->segment(3); $id = $this->input->post('adminID'); $data = array( 'username'=> $this->input->post('username'), 'password'=> $this->input->post('password'), 'date_added'=> $this->input->post('date_added') ); $this->db->where('adminID', $id); $this->db->update('admin', $data); }
