Question

I’m sorry for asking a question on something that I’m sure is easily found, but Google is of no help with special characters.

I’m trying to find the best ways to work and get data from a database with PHP and I’ve seen people use code similar to this question:
Pulling information from 2 tables

I just can’t figure out what that type of code is called, and where I can learn more about it. Seems like that’s what I want to do instead of writing queries over and over to achieve similar results.

Answer 1

You can go through this

Active Record Class

The work becomes really simple with this method:

For Selecting Data

$this->db->get();
$this->db->get_where();
$this->db->select();

For Inserting

$this->db->insert();

For Updating

$this->db->update();

For Deleting

$this->db->delete();

Things are as simple as these. Go through the Active Record Class and there a lot of other ways to create complex queries using the CI framework.
