I new to CI, and in doubt of how to passing params, my scenario is:
1) A form with multiple checkbox, seen as online_booking.php, user would checked multiple options.
2) User click button to call jq ajax post in json, this will get the callback params from booking_process in controller.
3) the returned results will then print on the view in #result
div block.
OK, above process is worked fine and the result is print like what user's has checked.
Now is my problem, I want to re-use the callback result in view, even I have the result printed on the view page, but I can't use the result for further processing, how could I make the returned results into a variable in view?
I had try few way, I try the old fashion with online_booking?selected=mutipleCheckedValue&sum=500
passing method with changed of $config['permitted_uri_chars'], but get only the last checked value instead of all checked values, which is means even I checked the checkbox with Type A+B+C, in the URL its only show value for Type C, I know this is not a good practice in CI but may help to solve my doubt if I couldn't find a proper solution.
I even try to store checked values in session, as seen on controller, $this->session->set_userdata('selected', $conf_type.":".$conf_charge);
, its still only show the last checked value.
Please give an advise on how to overcome with this issue as I already stucked in this part plenty of time.
online_booking.php View:
<?php
$is_logged = $this->simplelogin->is_logged();
$active = $this->simplelogin->get_data_user('activate');
$user_email = $this->simplelogin->get_data_user('email');
if(!$is_logged) {
echo "<p>Please login to get access</p>";
}else if($active == 0){
echo "<p>Your account is inactive to proceed this page</p>";
}else{
?>

JQuery ajax post:

//window.location.replace(baseurl + 'site/online_booking?selected='+output_str.selected+'&sum='+output_str.sum);
}
}
});
});
Controller:
class Site extends CI_Controller {
public function online_booking() {
$this->load->view('header');
$this->load->view('online_booking');
$this->load->view('footer');
}
public function booking_process(){

$explode_value = explode(",", $confType);
$conf_type = $explode_value[0];
$conf_charge = $explode_value[1];
$conf_charge_total += $conf_charge; //sum up checked values
$output_str .= $conf_type.":".$conf_charge.",";
/*$output_str = array(
'selected' => $conf_type.','.$conf_charge,
'email' => $user_email,

);*/
//$this->session->set_userdata('selected', $conf_type.":".$conf_charge);
}
$output_str .= $conf_charge_total;
//$this->session->set_userdata('sum_conf_charges', $conf_charge_total);

Thanks.
