Codeigniter db like not working in array - mysql

Question

I want to add more columns to search in my database, this is my original script.
public function getProductsByName($name, $limit, $start) {
$this->db->limit($limit, $start);
$this->db->order_by("id", "desc");
$this->db->like("name", $name);
$query = $this->db->get('products');
if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
$data[] = $row;
}
return $data;
}
return false;
}
This is my modified script to find in 3 columns like.
public function getProductsByName($name, $limit, $start) {
$this->db->limit($limit, $start);
$this->db->order_by("id", "desc");
$array = array('name' => $name, 'code' => $code, 'ean' => $ean);
$this->db->like($array);
$query = $this->db->get('products');
if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
$data[] = $row;
}
return $data;
}
return false;
}
What is wrong here?
Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

For selecting the data as like you says ,you need to tell exactly the varible that you use $code and $ean.
another things is the data[] you are created , there is no need to create an array like this.
you will get the same when you call $query->result();
public function getProductsByName($name, $limit, $start,$code,$ean) {
$this->db->limit($limit, $start);
$this->db->order_by("id", "desc");
$array = array('name' => $name, 'code' => $code, 'ean' => $ean);
$this->db->like($array);
$query = $this->db->get('products');
if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
return $query->result();
}
return false;
}
hope it will help you
