    About Lesson

    The INSERT INTO statement is used to insert new data to a MySQL table:

    INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,...)
    VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)

    1. SQL query to create a table in MySQL

    CREATE TABLE user_info (
      `id` int(11) NOT NULL,
      `first_name` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
      `last_name` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
      `email` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
       PRIMARY KEY (id)
    );

    An insert() method accepts the associative array of data is passed into this method as the only parameter to create a new row of data in the database.

    insert('table_name', 'array_of_object');

    2. Copy and Paste the following lines in applications/config/autoload.php

    $autoload['libraries'] = array('database');
    $autoload['helper'] = array('url', 'form');

    3. Create an add.php file in applications/views/ directory.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    
    <head>
    	<title>Add user</title>
    </head>
    
    <body>
    	<form method="post" 
    	action="<?php echo base_url('user/save'); ?>">
    		<table width="600" border="1" cellspacing="5" 
    		cellpadding="5">
    			<tr>
    				<td width="230">First Name</td>
    				<td width="329">
    					<input type="text" 
    					name="txtFirstName" />
    				</td>
    			</tr>
    			<tr>
    				<td>Last Name</td>
    				<td>
    					<input type="text" 
    					name="txtLastName" />
    				</td>
    			</tr>
    			<tr>
    				<td>Email ID</td>
    				<td>
    					<input type="email" 
    					name="txtEmail" />
    				</td>
    			</tr>
    			<tr>
    				<td colspan="2" align="center">
    					<input type="submit" 
    					name="btnAddUser" value="Add user" />
    				</td>
    			</tr>
    		</table>
    	</form>
    </body>
    </html>

    4. Create a model file User_model.php in the applications/models/ directory.

    class User_model extends CI_Model { 
    /*Insert*/
    function add($data) {
    return $this->db->insert(‘user_info’, $data);
    }
    }

    5. Create a controller file User.php in the applications/controllers/ directory.

    class User extends CI_Controller {
    
    	public function __construct() {
    		/*call CodeIgniter's default Constructor*/
    		parent::__construct();
    
    		/*load model*/
    		$this->load->model('User_model');
    	}
    
    	public function add() {
    		$this->load->view(‘add’);
    	}
    
    	public function save() {
    		$first_name	= $this->input->post(‘txtLastName’);
    		$last_name	= $this->input->post(‘txtLastName’);
    		$email		= $this->input->post(‘txtEmail’);
    	
    		$data = [
    			‘first_name’		=> $first_name,
    			‘last_name’		=> $last_name,
    			‘email’			=> $email,
    		];
    
    		$result = $this->user_model->add($data);
    		if($result) {
    			echo “New user is registered successfully.”;
    		} else {
    			echo “Something went wrong”;
    		}
    	}
    }
