php - insert data into database with codeigniter

Question

Trying to insert a row into my database with CodeIgniter.

My database table is Customer_Orders and the fields are CustomerName and OrderLines. The variables are being submitted correctly.

My Controller is( sales.php ):

function new_blank_order_summary() 
  {
      $data = array(
        'OrderLines'=>$this->input->post('orderlines'),
        'CustomerName'=>$this->input->post('customer')
          );
     $this->sales_model->order_summary_insert($data);

    $this->load->view('sales/new_blank_order_summary');
  }

My Model is( sales_model.php ):

function order_summary_insert($data){
    $this->db->insert('Customer_Orders',$data);
}

Whilst the view loads correctly, no data is inserted into the database.

Any ideas as to why not?

Try this in your model:

function order_summary_insert()
    $OrderLines=$this->input->post('orderlines');
    $CustomerName=$this->input->post('customer');
    $data = array(
        'OrderLines'=>$OrderLines,
        'CustomerName'=>$CustomerName
    );

    $this->db->insert('Customer_Orders',$data);
}

Try to use controller just to control the view and models always post your values in model. it makes easy to understand. Your controller will be:

function new_blank_order_summary() {
    $this->sales_model->order_summary_insert($data);
    $this->load->view('sales/new_blank_order_summary');
}
