How to insert data from a database to array and check it - mysql

Question

I need to modify views in an application and I have table user privileges, with a structure like this below
id_staff | feature | capabilities
1 reports view
1 reports create
1 reports edit
2 reports view
2 reports delete
3 reports view
What I need, is where user like id_staff 3 that in reports, feature only have one capabilities, like the example he just can view, can not edit, edit, or create. Then user id 3 only sees hyperlink to view the page, he cannot see hyperlink to create, edit or delete pages.
To do that, I tried to use select query, insert that to array and then compare the array value to getting the condition like above
I have tried to code like this
<?php
$query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM tblstaff_permissions WHERE staff_id='.$id.'');
foreach ($query->result() as $row)
{
if($row['feature']=='reports' and $row['capabilities']=='view'){
View
} elseif($row['feature']=='reports' and $row['capabilities']=='delete' ){
Delete
}
}
?>
And then the page is blank
Do you know where's the error ?
Thank you

Answer 1

You could improve it by reducing the repetitive code, like the $row['feature']=='reports' code, like :
$query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM tblstaff_permissions WHERE staff_id='.$id.'');
foreach ($query->result_array() as $row)
{
if ($row['feature']=='reports') {
if ($row['capabilities']=='view') {
echo 'View';
} elseif ($row['capabilities']=='delete') {
echo 'Delete';
}
}
}
To get an array result, use the $query->result_array() instead of $query->result(), and also you misses the echo statement.

You are using $query->result() it will give you an array of objects, not an array of array. Also, you are not echoing your links on the view. One more thing you should not use the same condition repeatedly.
In this case, your code should be -
<?php
$query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM tblstaff_permissions WHERE staff_id='.$id.'');
foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
if($row->feature =='reports'){
if($row->capabilities=='view'){
echo 'View';
} elseif($row->capabilities == 'delete' ){
echo 'Delete';
}
}
}
?>
