my model is empty till now because I don't know how to insert data from dynamic inputs
This is my view
<form id="bookForm" method="post" class="form-horizontal"action="order/insert">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-xs-3">
<label for="customer_name">Customer :
<br>
<select class="selectpicker" data-show-subtext="true" data-live-search="true" name="customer_name" id="customer_name">
<?php foreach ($customerdata as $c):
echo "<option value ='$c->c_id'>" . $c->c_name . "</option>";
endforeach;
?>
</select>
</label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-3">

<div class="col-xs-4">
<select class="selectpicker" data-show-subtext="true" data-live-search="true" name="product[0].title">
<?php
foreach($order as $row):
echo"<option value ='$row->p_id'>".$row->p_name. "</option>";
endforeach;
?>
</select>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="product[0].qty" placeholder="Quantity" />

</div>
<div class="col-xs-1">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default addButton"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
<!-- The template for adding new field -->
<div class="form-group hide" id="bookTemplate">
<div class="col-xs-4 col-xs-offset-1">
<select class="selectpicker" data-show-subtext="true" data-live-search="true" name="title">
<?php
foreach($order as $row):
echo"<option value ='$row->p_id'>".$row->p_name. "</option>";
endforeach;
?>
</select>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="qty" placeholder="Quantity" />
</div>
<div class="col-xs-2">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="price" placeholder="Price" />
</div>
<div class="col-xs-1">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default removeButton"><i class="fa fa-minus"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-xs-5 col-xs-offset-1">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
This Jquery
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var titleValidators = {
row: '.col-xs-4', // The title is placed inside a <div class="col-xs-4"> element
validators: {
notEmpty: {
message: 'Product is required'
}
}
},
isbnValidators = {
row: '.col-xs-4',
validators: {
notEmpty: {
message: 'Quantity is required'
}
}
},
priceValidators = {
row: '.col-xs-2',
validators: {
notEmpty: {
message: 'Invoice Number is required'
},
numeric: {
message: 'The invoice number must be a numeric number'
}
}
},
bookIndex = 0;
$('#bookForm')
.formValidation({
framework: 'bootstrap',
icon: {
valid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-ok',
invalid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-remove',
validating: 'glyphicon glyphicon-refresh'
},
fields: {
'product[0].title': titleValidators,
'product[0].qty': isbnValidators,
'product[0].price': priceValidators
}
})
// Add button click handler
.on('click', '.addButton', function() {
bookIndex++;
var $template = $('#bookTemplate'),
$clone = $template
.clone()
.removeClass('hide')
.removeAttr('id')
.attr('data-book-index', bookIndex)
.insertBefore($template);
// Update the name attributes
$clone
.find('[name="title"]').attr('name', 'product[' + bookIndex + '].title').end()
.find('[name="qty"]').attr('name', 'product[' + bookIndex + '].isbn').end()
.find('[name="price"]').attr('name', 'product[' + bookIndex + '].price').end();
// Add new fields
// Note that we also pass the validator rules for new field as the third parameter
$('#bookForm')
.formValidation('addField', 'product[' + bookIndex + '].title', titleValidators)
.formValidation('addField', 'product[' + bookIndex + '].qty', isbnValidators)
.formValidation('addField', 'product[' + bookIndex + '].price', priceValidators);
})
// Remove button click handler
.on('click', '.removeButton', function() {
var $row = $(this).parents('.form-group'),
index = $row.attr('data-book-index');
// Remove fields
$('#bookForm')
.formValidation('removeField', $row.find('[name="product[' + index + '].title"]'))
.formValidation('removeField', $row.find('[name="product[' + index + '].qty"]'))
.formValidation('removeField', $row.find('[name="product[' + index + '].price"]'));
// Remove element containing the fields
$row.remove();
});
});
This is my controller
function OrderNow(){
$this->load->model('Out_m');
$this->Out_m->outs();
$this->session->set_flashdata('done','Your Order Submitted Successfully');
redirect('Order', 'refresh');
}

Answer 1

Just validate your form input however you see necessary:
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('branch', 'Branch', 'required|trim');
Make sure your form validation doesn't fail.
if ($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE) {
// Throw some error or whatever
} else {
$form_data = array('branch'=>set_value('branch');
}
Then chuck that over to the model:
$this->Out_m->handling_function($form_data);
Once you get it over there, you can do whatever you want with it.
