In codeigniter 2.1 I'm trying to display channels by category. So if i have a category called Film, i should see a list of Channels within Film. I tried a nested foreach loop to accomplish this but can't seem to get it to work.
My tables structure is something like this but more complicated:
My model:
<?php class Pages_model extends CI_Model { function get_channels_by_categ_tv() { $this->db->select('categories.category_name, channels.channel_name'); $this->db->from('type_categ'); $this->db->join('categories', 'categories.category_id = type_categ.category_id'); $this->db->join('channels', 'channels.channel_id = type_categ.channel_id'); $this->db->order_by('categories.category_id'); //$this->db->group_by(array('categories.category_id')); $query = $this->db->get(); if($query->num_rows() == 0) { #no channels return false; } return $query->result_array(); } }
in the view:
<ul class="slides"> <li> <?php foreach ($category_chaneels as $category): ?> <div class="programe-tv_link"> <p><?=$category['category_name'];?></p> <dd> <a href=""> >> <?=$category['channel_name'];?></a></dd> </div> <?php endforeach; ?> </li> </ul>
controller (Pages):
public function index() { $data['category_chaneels'] = $this->pages_model->get_channels_by_categ_tv(); $this->template->page_view($data); }
I atached image 1 and image 2, i need result like image 2 not 1.
PS. One channel can have many categories.
Can you help me ? THX
