I am new to CodeIgniter and I have been trying to populate the drop down list on the view page with data from the database with no success. I tried using the recomendations from this question but the drop down is still empty (display data from database to dropdown CodeIgniter)
Here is my view:
<label>City</label>
<select class="form-control>
<option value="">All</option>
<?php
foreach($groups as $city)
{
echo '<option value="'.$city['cityidd'].'">'.$city['city'].'</option>';
}
?>
</select> <br/>
Here is my controller:
<?php
class Main_controller extends CI_Controller
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->helper('url');
$this->load->database();
}
public function index()
{
$this->load->helper('form');
$this->load->view('supplier_add');
}
}
Here is my model:
class Site_model extends CI_Model
{
public function __construct()
{
/* Call the Model constructor */
parent::__construct();
}
function getAllGroups()
{
$query = $this->db->query('SELECT city FROM citys');
return $query->result();
}
}
The table name is "citys" then the corresponding column heads are "cityidd" and "city"
