I need to get the user id of the person logged in, so that i can run a query for that user. Im using ion auth, should i use a session or call it from the db, should i use a helper or not? anyway, heres what im trying to do:
example: how many work orders does logged in user have? query would be: select * from work_orders WHERE status = "1" AND userid = "%THE LOGGED IN USER"
here is my controller, which doesnt have the "get user id" code:
public function index()
{
$this->load->view('templates/header');
$data['total_open_wo'] = $this->Home_model->total_open_wo();
$data['result'] = $this->Home_model->index();
$this->load->view('home', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
here is my model:
public function total_open_wo() {
$this->db->where('status', "1");
$this->db->where('tid', "NEED_THE_USER_ID");
$num = $this->db->count_all_results('work_orders');
return ($num);
}
