I have 2 classes - Students and Groups with many-to-many relationship. On a student page, I want to show all his details and list all groups he belongs to, delimited by comma. This is my Students controller:

Code:

class Students extends Controller {

  function  __construct() {
      parent::__construct();
  }

  function index() {
      $this->get_all_students();
  }

  function get_all_students() {
      $s = new Student();
      $data['students'] = $s->select('id, name, email')->get();

      $this->load->view('students', $data);
  }

  function view($id) {
      $s = new Student();
      $s->get_by_id($id);
      $s->groups->get();

      $data['student'] = $s;

      $this->load->view('student_view', $data);
  }
}

I can get student's details like this in student_view:

Code:

Name: <?php echo $student->name; ?>
E-mail: <?php echo $student->email; ?>
Groups:
<?php foreach ($student->groups as $group) : ?>
  <?php echo anchor("/groups/$group->id", $group->name) ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

So, how can I list groups delimited by comma? I tried adding group names to an array in the controller and then just

Code:

<?php echo implode(', ', $groups); ?>

in the view. But this way I cannot make a link using group IDs.
