Question

I am new to Codeigniter. I’m trying to create a simple customer database and when it keeps trying to load my update_customer model It keeps giving me a Http error 500. I’m pretty sure I’ve narrowed it down to the model cause when I comment out the model call the page redirects it to itself with no error. Any ideas where my mistake was?

and I can’t seem to find the error in the apache error logs…

CONTROLLER:

function edit_customer($id){
    $data['success']=0;
    if($_POST){
        $data_customer=$_POST;
        $data_customer['active'] = 1;
        $this->customer->update_customer($id,$data);
        $data['success']=1;
    }
    $data['customer']=$this->customer->get_customer($id);

    $this->load->view('header');
    $this->load->view('edit_customer',$data);
    $this->load->view('footer');
}

MODEL:

function get_customer($id){
    $this->db->select()->from('customers')->where(array('active'=>1, 'id'=>$id))->order_by('date_added', 'desc');
    $query=$this->db->get();
    return $query->first_row('array');
}

function update_customer($id, $data){
    $this->where('id', $id);
    $this->db->update('customers', $data);
}

Your missing a db-> in your where statement should be:

function update_customer($id, $data){
    $this->db->where('id', $id);
    $this->db->update('customers', $data);
}
