Hi all,

First and foremost, I'm having a blast with the CI learning process! Unfortunately I've run into a hurdle where I'm going to have to ask the community for some insight. I'm working on a small application that requires speaking to two separate databases. I followed the advice listed here in order to achieve this:

http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...cting.html

So in config/database.php I've created two elements in the $db array consistent of $db['db1'] and $db['db2']. My questions are the following:

1) Do we leave $active_group defined if we're using multiple databases?
2) Where would be the best place to define the actual DB object instances? The constructor or the index() method?

I wrote the following code in my controller's index():

function index()
{
$DB1 = $this->load->database('db1', TRUE);
$DB2 = $this->load->database('db2', TRUE);

// retrieve all records.
$data['query'] = $DB1->get('tbl_signups');

.. yadda yadda ..
This query is unfortunately is trying to query the database defined in $DB2 (probably cause of a user error. )

Thanks again for any insight folks!

I'm using a controller->library->model structure. The controller is extremely thin and is responsible for only displaying the view. The library contains all the business logic and the model interacts with the database.

With the above in mind, I'm trying to determine the best practice of exposing data to a view.

The most obvious way is to pass the data in the second parameter. For example:

I was doing some validation with the validation class and I was just wondering where do the variables that you are testing get stored? Currently, I validate the variables and then retrieve them from the post array like this:

Hi

i have maybe stupid question. I am thinking on the situation, where I have a web with CodeIgniter and in all pages I want to process something code (for example SQL query). So i must repeat that code in all controllers? Thx

Is it possible to alter the orientation of a table....at the moment I have a table with 60+ columns and 2 rows so ideally would like to display it as 60+ rows and 2 columns. Similar to how you would layout a form I guess.

Is this possible using the table library at all?

Hi,
I've just installed the latest xampp and have installed Code Igniter which so far is looking good. I've run through the tutorials to get to grips with the basics but I've hit a minor problem

Although I seem to have no connection failures I get an error at the top of my index.php when trying to access the MySQL database.

The error:

Hello all,

Just wondering whether you think I should code my own authentication script (login, logout, register, forgotten password, remember me).

I can code the register script and the admin backend so I don't really need a full featured plugin but I've never really dove in to cookies and managing how the user would login with CI. I'll also need to be able to call to see if the user is logged in, an admin, etc.

By using a full featured plugin such as FreakAuth I can simply use it straight away after a few tweaks and it'll be easy enough to upgrade later. Plus, the script is very detailed in how it manages the user.

Are there any other auth plugins that I should look at and are still in active development?

Thanks.

In my constructor I load the language file according to the user's preference like this:

Hello, In my controller (encoded in UTF-8) I am attempting to send an email which contains Japanese (multibyte) characters. The body of the email comes out fine, but the subject line are just garbled characters. Any ideas/tips/hints/thoughts as to what might be going on here?
