I just jump in codeigniter where I believe it so hard to learn in Model and Controller but where Viewes is good. I am facing an issue to creating a calculation (adding +) function in codeigniter.
Actually in my database I save the values like this:-
-------------------------------------------
ID | Name | Amount | DATE
-------------------------------------------
01 | Product 1 | $250 | 20/09/1996
02 | Product 2 | $200 | 20/09/1996
03 | Product 3 | $210 | 20/09/1996
04 | Product 4 | $260 | 20/09/1996
05 | Product 5 | $280 | 20/09/1996
I want add all amount value so that I created this code and added in model
public function countTotalToday()
{
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Mumbai');
$now = date('d-m-Y');
//$sql = "SELECT amount FROM orders_item WHERE date = '$now'";
$sql = "sum(amount) from order_item where date(dateCol)=date(now())";
$query = $this->db->query($sql);
//return $query->num_rows();
}
and in controller i make like this
$this->data['total_paisa'] = $this->model_brands->countTotalToday();
and in Views
<h3 style="display:inline;"><?php echo $total_paisa ?></h3><h5 style="display:inline; vertical-align:center;">(Sleep <?php echo $total_paisa ?>)</h5>
But the code says error 500, I don't know i fixed this, could you help me how oi make the code which works to calculate the value as amount and echo me in views with calculation in Adding method.
