Question

I’m trying to create an image gallery for a social networking site that I am working on for a college project but I can’t seem to get the “username” field to populate in my database. The galleryimage field populates fine, but the username field just displays “0”. I have 3 fields in my “gallery” table (id, username, and galleryimage). I’m using MVC with CodeIgniter framework. Seems to be a problem with my Active Record code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the get/set functions in my model:

        private $galleryTable = 'gallery';

          function Gallery()
          {
            parent::__construct();
          }

The putProfileGallery populates the gallery table in my database.

         function putProfileGallery($username, $image)
          {
            $record = array('username' => $username, 'galleryimage' => $image);

            $this->db->where('username', $username)->insert('gallery', $record);
          }

The getProfileGallery function loops through the table and is supposed to output to the screen.

         function getProfileGallery($username)

          {
            $this->db->select('*')->from('gallery')->where('username', $username);
            $gallerySet = $this->db->get();

            $gallery = array();
            foreach ($gallerySet->result() as $row)
            {       
                $gallery[] = array('username' => $row->username, 'galleryimage' => $row->galleryimage);
            }
            return $gallery;
          }
         }

You can’t combine where and insert.

$this->db->where('username', $username)->insert('gallery', $record); should be only $this->db->insert('gallery', $record);

You should use update if you want to update a row.
