I have a MySQL query which is this:
SELECT * FROM tbl_post WHERE tbl_post.post_id NOT IN
(SELECT tbl_readsave.post_id FROM tbl_readsave)
I want to convert it into Codeigniter Active records, so I used the following code segment:
$this->db->select('tbl_readsave.post_id');
$queryReadSave = $this->db->get('readsave');
$this->db->where_not_in('post_id', $queryReadSave->result_array());
$queryNewPost = $this->db->get('readsave');
if($queryNewPost->num_rows()>0)
{
return $queryNewPost->result_array();
}
else
return false;
However, the code throws me an error, which is like the following:-
Error Number: 1054
Unknown column 'Array' in 'where clause'
SELECT * FROM (`tbl_readsave`) WHERE `post_id` NOT IN (Array)
Filename: /var/www/html/teamF/tharjumal/models/webservice_model.php
Line Number: 28
How can I convert the above stated query into Codeigniter Active Records format?
$queryReadSave->result_array()
returns an array of arrays. You can't use that in where_not_in
.
You need to loop over that and create a flat array of the IDs you (don't) want.
$this->db->select('post_id');
$queryReadSave = $this->db->get('readsave');
$postIDs = $queryReadSave->result_array();
$this->db->where_not_in('post_id', array_column($postIDs, 'post_id'));
$queryNewPost = $this->db->get('post');
array_column()
only exists in PHP 5.5+. If you are on a lower version, you'll need to do something like this:
$this->db->select('post_id');
$queryReadSave = $this->db->get('readsave');
$postIDs = array_map(function($a){
return $a['post_id'];
}, $queryReadSave->result_array());
$this->db->where_not_in('post_id', $postIDs);
$queryNewPost = $this->db->get('post');
P.S. Your second table is called post
, right? You'll need to update the query to use the right table.
Update: Your original query uses a subquery which is not natively supported by CodeIgniter. If you want to try this all as one query, you can use the Subquery library I created (https://github.com/NTICompass/CodeIgniter-Subqueries).
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('post');
$sub = $this->subquery->start_subquery('where_in');
$sub->select('post_id')->from('readsave');
$this->subquery->end_subquery('post_id', FALSE);
$queryNewPost = $this->db->get();
try below code:
$read_post_id = [];
$queryReadSave = $this->db->select('post_id')->get('tbl_readsave')->result_array();
if(count($queryReadSave) > 0){
foreach($queryReadSave as $row){
$read_post_id[] = $row['post_id']; // add each post id to the array
}
}
$this->db->select('*');
if(!empty($read_post_id)) $this->db->where_not_in('post_id',$read_post_id);
$post = $this->db->get('tbl_post');
print_r($post->result_array());
exit;
