i'm trying to insert a value to my database, everything is fine except the inserting thing. this is my controller function

Code:

$items = $this->okapi_termmodel->get_term()->result();
        var_dump($items);
        $insertIDF = 'INSERT INTO okapi_term(idf) VALUES(?)';
        foreach($items as $item) {
            $this->db->query($insertIDF, $this->idf($item->term));
            }

when i var_dump the $items, it shows all the database perfectly.
but in the end it return this error

Just off the top of my head, perhaps your have your table column set to only accept unique values, and your trying to insert a value that already exists in the table? Or try investigating what Error Number 1062 means in detail.

The error message says it all, in this case. It is telling you that it is trying to insert a blank value for the field term, but there is already a record in the database with a blank term value and it cannot insert this new row as it would be a duplicate (as you must have term marked as unique...).

That's all there is to it...
