Hello everybody,
I'll get right to it.
I am trying to a sort user list by either desc or asc.
My controller looks like this -
PHP Code:
public function ByUser($sort_by = 'issue_date', $sort_order = 'desc')
{
/**
* Store _POST value from dropdown in variable - $user_type.
* Pass that value to model to get issues only "by that user"
*/
$user_type = $this->input->post('issues-by-user');
$data['records'] = $this->report_model->issues_by_user($sort_by, $sort_order, $user_type);
$data['main_content'] = 'report';
$data['title'] = 'MarksMate Report';
$this->load->view('includes/template', $data);
}
In my model, i have an inner join that joins two tables and shows issues by specific user.
My model method looks like this -
PHP Code:
public function issues_by_user($sort_by, $sort_order, $user_type)
{
$sort_order = ($sort_order == 'asc') ? 'asc' : 'desc';
$sort_columns = array('id', 'issue_date');
$sort_by = (in_array($sort_by, $sort_columns)) ? $sort_by : 'issue_date';
$query = $this->db->select('tblissue.id, student_id, issue_date, issue_title, issue_description, issue_screenshot, first_name, last_name, email_id, role')
->from('tblissue')
->join('tblstudentprofile', 'tblissue.student_id=tblstudentprofile.id')
->where('role', $user_type)
->order_by($sort_by, $sort_order);
$records = $query->get()->result_array();
return $records;
}
Query works fine. (Checked it using print_r)
But when i change the url to - "http://localhost/anothertrack/report/ByUser/id/asc", all the records that were fetched go away. If i print_r, all i see is an empty array.
However, if i remove the variable
from
PHP Code:
->where('role', $user_type)
and instead put a constant value like 0 or 1 or 2 (0,1,2,3 are my enum values set in database) then it works.
Where am i going wrong here?
