I have a table called exhibit which contains:
- ex_id
- ex_inv_id
- ex_user_id
- ex_pref_one
- ex_pref_two
- ex_pref_three
- ex_pref_four
- ex_terms_conditions
- ex_pref_one_approved
- ex_pref_two_approved
- ex_pref_three_approved
- ex_pref_four_approved
And another table called stand which contains:
- stand_id
- stand_no
- stand_type
I need to put the values in a datatable now by selecting from the exhibit table where the ex_pref_one/two/three/four columns = stand_id
I tried using a join but i got an error that said the table stand
does not exist
I am using the codeigniter PHP framework
Here is the Code Sorry i didnt post it first
$user_id = $this->session->userdata('user_id');
if(!$user_id || $user_id == 0 )return 0;
$where = array(
'exhibit.ex_user_id'=>$user_id,
);
return $this->db->select('
exhibit.*,
S1.*,
S2.*,
S3.*,
S4.*,
')
->join('stand AS S1', 'exhibit.ex_pref_one = S1.stand_id', 'LEFT')
->join('stand AS S2', 'exhibit.ex_pref_two = S2.stand_id', 'LEFT')
->join('stand AS S3', 'exhibit.ex_pref_three = S3.stand_id', 'LEFT')
->join('stand AS S4', 'exhibit.ex_pref_four = S4.stand_id', 'LEFT')
->where($where)
->from('exhibit')
->get()
->result();
Result of $this->db->last_query();
SELECT `exhibit`.*,
`S1`.*,
`S2`.*,
`S3`.*,
`S4`.*
FROM (`exhibit`)
LEFT JOIN `stand` AS S1 ON `exhibit`.`ex_pref_one` = `S1`.`stand_id`
LEFT JOIN `stand` AS S2 ON `exhibit`.`ex_pref_two` = `S2`.`stand_id`
LEFT JOIN `stand` AS S3 ON `exhibit`.`ex_pref_three` = `S3`.`stand_id`
LEFT JOIN `stand` AS S4 ON `exhibit`.`ex_pref_four` = `S4`.`stand_id`
WHERE `exhibit`.`ex_user_id` = 1
var_dump of the result
array (size=1)
0 =>
object(stdClass)[25]
public 'ex_id' => string '2' (length=1)
public 'ex_inv_id' => string '2147483647' (length=10)
public 'ex_user_id' => string '1' (length=1)
public 'ex_pref_one' => string '6' (length=1)
public 'ex_pref_two' => string '14' (length=2)
public 'ex_pref_three' => string '13' (length=2)
public 'ex_pref_four' => string '21' (length=2)
public 'ex_terms_conditions' => string '1' (length=1)
public 'ex_pref_one_approved' => string '0' (length=1)
public 'ex_pref_two_approved' => string '0' (length=1)
public 'ex_pref_three_approved' => string '0' (length=1)
public 'ex_pref_four_approved' => string '0' (length=1)
public 'stand_id' => string '21' (length=2)
public 'stand_no' => string '20' (length=2)
public 'stand_type' => string 'Gold' (length=4)
But it seems that it only pulls the ex_pref_four through and none of the others Why is that ?
