Hello
Well, I need two pieces of information. One the block of rows with their content, and the other how many rows they are, for pagination purposes.
UPDATED:
I solved it by some weird way, (if anyone has a better idea, I ll be interested in hearing about it). I solved this way. I realized that I had two objects, which were being returned as an array of objects. So in order to return all that at once I created an array of arrays of objects. Once at the controller, I unshifted them of the multidimensional array and I used one for returning the content and the other one to get the number of rows by nothing else than counting (using count) the number of items the array had.
=====
continuing with old post:
I do my first query which goes like this:
Code:
$this->db->select('id_atributo, thumb_a,etc');
$this->db->from('localidades x');
$this->db->join('regiones y', 'y.id_region = x.id_region');
etc
$this->db->limit(2, 0);
$query = $this->db->get();
And then I sort of repeat the same query except for the Limit stuff, and add this to get the number of rows:
Code:
$question = $this->db->get();
$filas = $question->num_rows();
So, now that I have these two queries within one Function in the model, I need to return all that:
Code:
return $query->result();
But as you see, I only know how to return the first query. I don't know how to add the additional piece of info, which is the total number of rows that I do in the second query.
You might ask yourself why I repeat the queries. The thing is that if I do num_rows when I have used the Limit, it does not bring me the total number of rows but just the ones chunked by the Limit clause. That is why I repeat the query again without the Limit.
In the controller I have this:
Code:
$data = $this->toModelPage->toModelFunction($etc);
So, that is the issue, how to pass the number of Rows. I have got it fine when it is just about passing the array of objects, but the problem is that additional num_rows() stuff.
thank you
regards
