Question

I have a db with “events” from a event table that selects a eventid, year,month,day from my database in order to create dynamic links in a calendar.

Here is my controller:

$this->load->model('Sitemodel');
$month=date('n');
$year=date('Y');
$datearray=$this->Sitemodel->get_dates($month,$year);

$baseurl=base_url('site/event').'/';
foreach ($datearray as $datee) {
       $dateeday=$datee['dtDay'];
       $datacalendar[$dateeday]= $baseurl.$datee['eventid'];
}
$data['calenderinfo']=$this->calendar->generate($year,$month,$datacalendar);
$data['events']=$this->Sitemodel->get_10_all_events();

$this->load->view('index',$data);

here is my model:

function get_dates($month,$year){
   $sql="SELECT eventid, DAY(dateof) AS dtDay, MONTH(dateof) AS dtMonth, YEAR(dateof) AS dtYear FROM event WHERE MONTH(dateof)=? AND YEAR(dateof)=?";
   $result=$this->db->query($sql,array($month,$year));
   return $result->result_array();
}

the error im getting is :

A Database Error Occurred

Error Number: 1054

Unknown column 'date' in 'order clause'

SELECT * FROM (`event`) ORDER BY `date` desc LIMIT 10

Filename: C:\wamp\www\event\system\database\DB_driver.php

Line Number: 330

I am unable to debug the error since it links back to the DB_driver when I know it must be something within my controller/model.

my DB structure for event table (names of columns) is:

eventid,eventtype,description,dateof(which is a date type)

I normally could figure this out if the error line of my controller/model/view is shown but instead it shows a error at the system level which totally throws me off. any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

The query that is producing the error, is happening somewhere other than the code you posted. It might be generated from a model call based on your schema file. Check your schema file and see if it has a date reference instead of dateof.

This is one of the dis-advantages of an ORM, you can edit the schema all day, but if you don’t update the schema config file, and rebuild the model, all sorts of things can break.
