Drop down does not show the option selected in codeigniter - html

Question

I used a drop down button to select an option from the given options. But when I selected an option it does not display that in the box. And I it gives chance only once to select an option. For the drop down I retrieve data from the database.
This is the view code (Its inside Assign_Inquiries)
<select id = "counsellorname" name="counsellornamename" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle">
<option value = "0"> Select Category Name</option>
<?php
foreach($result as $row){
echo "<option value = ".$row['email'].">".$row['fname']." ".$row['lname']."</option>";
}
?>
</select>
Its really great if someone can help me. Thanks inadvance
This is the controller code
<?php
class Assign_Inquiries_Controller extends CI_Controller{
function index(){
$this->load->model('Assign_Inquiries_Model');
$data['result'] = $this->Assign_Inquiries_Model->index();
//print_r($data);
$this->load->view('Assign_Inquiries',$data);
}
}
?>
This is the model code
<?php
class Assign_Inquiries_Model extends CI_Model{
function index(){
$this->db->select('first_name,last_name,email');
$where = "status =3";
$this->db->where($where);
$query = $this->db->get('user');
foreach ($query -> result() as $row) {
$data[] = array(
'fname' => $row->first_name,
'lname' => $row->last_name,
'email' => $row->email
);
}
return $data;
}
}
?>

Answer 1

Change your model code as below: use result_array() which returns the result in array format.
function index(){
$this->db->select('first_name,last_name,email');
$this->db->where('status',3);
$query = $this->db->get('user');
return $query ->result_array();
}
In view you loop must be like this....
foreach($result as $row){
echo "<option value = ".$row['email'].">".$row['first_name']." ".$row['last_name']."</option>";
}
