I'm trying to create a iterate through a row in a MySQL table in one of my CodeIgniter projects, how could I "loop" through the table? Is it just a simple for loop like in other languages?
EDIT:
The answer is as followed:
$query = $this->db->get('mytable'); // select table "mytable" from database
foreach ($query->result() as $row) { // loop thru table and access each row's field
// by using $row->fieldname
}
Maybe something like this
//$this->db->limit(10); // Optional if you want to limit, read about it
$result = $this->db->get('server'); //return all rows
foreach ($result as $row) {
$row->status = 'inactive'; // change value of status attribute or whatever
$this->db->update('server', $row)
}
Or maybe use $this->db->update_batch();
to update a stack of rows at one time.
I encourage you to read the CI database class documentation too.
Another suggestion, is to do all the business logic inside a model instead of a controller. But it's a matter of personal preference maybe.
