Get post values when the key is unknown in CodeIgniter
Solution 1
According to the documentation, no. I would suggest just using array_keys($_POST)
to get the keys.
Solution 2
foreach($this->input->post() as $key => $val) { echo "<p>Key: ".$key. " Value:" . $val . "</p>\n"; }
that can be used to
Solution 3
Surely if you have an array of keys from the database you can use that, like :
foreach ($arrayFromDb as $key => $value) {
$newValue = $this->input->post($key);
}
Then you have the advantage that people if people submit additional fields (e.g. by modifying the form and posting it themselves) those fields will be ignored
Solution 4
$array_db_columns = $this->db->query('SHOW COLUMNS FROM ci_props');
$array_db_columns = $array_db_columns->result_array();
$array_save_values = array();
foreach ( $array_db_columns as $value )
{
$array_save_values[$value['Field']] = $this->input->post($value['Field']);
}
insert :
$this->db->insert('props', $array_save_values);
update :
$this->db->where('id',$id); $this->db->update('props',$array_save_values);

CodeIgniter allows access to POSTed data via:
$this->input->post('input_name');
where 'input_name' is the name of a form field. This works well for a static form where each input name in known ahead of time.
In my case, I am loading a collection of key/value pairs from the database. The form contains a text input for each key/value pair.
I am wondering, is there a way to get an array of posted data via the CodeIgniter api?
Thanks!
