Batch insert in codeigniter - codeigniter

Question

Hi I am quite new to cpdeignoter I just wanted to ask if I am doing the insert batch in ci right because it seemed not to work here is my controller
foreach($dat as $key => $val){
$data[] = array('ModelNumber' => $_POST['txt_model_num'][$key],
'Access' => $_POST['txt_accessories'][$key],
'SerialNumber' => $_POST['txt_snum'][$key],
'Charges' => $_POST['txt_charges'][$key],
'OtherRemarks' => $_POST['txt_rem'][$key],
'RequirementID' => $id1);
}
$cmd3 = $this->Software_model->add_type($data);
if($cmd3){
foreach($sql->result_array() as $row){
$id2 = $row['ID'];
}
$data2s = array();
foreach($dat as $key => $val){
$data2s[] = array('EquipmentName' => $_POST['txt_equipb'][$key],
'EquipmentType' => $_POST['txt_equiptype'][$key],
'RequirementID' => $id2);
}
$cmd2 = $this->Software_model->add_equip($data2s);
and this is the model
public function add_type($data)
{
return $this->db->insert_batch('jobtype', $data);
}
public function add_equip($data2s)
{
return $this->db->insert_batch('equipment', $data2s);
}
and the way I duplicate the textboxes in the views is like this
function second function(){
var etype = document.createElement('input');
etype.type = 'text';
etype.setAttribute("name", "txt_equiptype[]");
etype.setAttribute("class", "form-control");
etype.setAttribute("id", "etype");
etype.setAttribute("placeholder", "Enter Equipment Type");
document.getElementById('third').appendChild(etype);
}
thanks in advance

Hope this will help you :
Try out this alternate method :
foreach($dat as $key => $val)
{
$data[$key]['ModelNumber'] = $_POST['txt_model_num'][$key];
$data[$key]['Access'] = $_POST['txt_accessories'][$key];
$data[$key]['SerialNumber'] = $_POST['txt_snum'][$key];
$data[$key]['Charges'] = $_POST['txt_charges'][$key];
$data[$key]['OtherRemarks'] = $_POST['txt_rem'][$key];
$data[$key]['RequirementID'] = $id1;
}
/* Note : remove auto increment primary key from above array if you are including*/
user it for both the foreach
