Problem with inserting csv file entries to db

@HarrysR,

What does your csv input look like (test data)?  Also, what tools do you use to debug your code? Xdebug? echo statements?  My guest is that there is a problem with your manufacturer-exist method.

Well i feel insanely stupid rn since the solution was really simple and silly.
To begin with, to answer your question, i use "echo" statements.

On the other hand as for the solution here's what was wrong.

In my controller i had this:

Code:

$add_manuf = $this->product_model->add_manufacturer($manufacturer_data);
$insert_data['manufacturer_id'] = $add_manuf['manufacturer_id'];

While the model was like that:

Code:

public function add_manufacturer($data){
$insert = $this->db->insert('manufacturers', $data);
if($insert){
  return $this->db->insert_id();
} else {
  return false;
}
}

So (for people like me who didn't see that coming), while the function returned the last inserted_id of the query, i was trying to access the value as if the sql query returned a row_array.

In two words.... i had to do it like this:

Code:

[BEFORE]
$add_manuf = $this->product_model->add_manufacturer($manufacturer_data);
$insert_data['manufacturer_id'] = $add_manuf['manufacturer_id'];

[AFTER]
$add_manuf = $this->product_model->add_manufacturer($manufacturer_data);
$insert_data['manufacturer_id'] = $add_manuf;

Thank you for your interest in finding the problem guys!
