I need to get the insert ID to be used in my controller, the problem is my model function has several data arrays, and I need the insert ID of the 1st array. therefor if I try to get the insert ID on my controller obviously its grabbing the 2nd insert ID and not the 1st.
I'm not sure this makes sense but here is an example:
Model
public function add() {
$data = array(
'name' => $_POST['companyName']
,'type' => $_POST['companyType']
,'active' => '1');
$this->db->insert('company', $data);
$cid = $this->db->insert_id();
$data2 = array(
'cid' => $cid
,'name' => $_POST['locationName']
,'address' => $_POST['locationAddress']);
$this->db->insert('locations', $data2);
}
This is working fine...However after this runs, on my controller the redirect is getting the data2 last insert which makes my redirect wrong.
Controller
public function add() {
if (isset($_POST["add"]))
{
$this->Company_model->add();
$id = $this->db->insert_id();
redirect('company/view/'.$cid);
}
$data['states'] = $this->Company_model->
}
Any help would be greatful!
