Question

I’m wondering if i would need to select (where statement) twice, if i wanted tp update a spesific user in the database.

Example,

// Add new income for the day
function add_new_income($user_id, $budget_group_id, $day, $month, $year, $income)
{

    // Check if there has been posted anything at the same day
    $this->db->where('day',$this->current_date);
    $this->db->where('month',$this->current_month);
    $this->db->where('user_id',$user_id);
    $this->db->where('budget_group_id',$budget_group_id);

    $query = $this->db->get('budget_day',1);

    // Check if something was found
    if($query->num_rows() > 0)
    {
        // If something was found, update the value
        $data = array('income_total' => $income);
        $this->db->update('budget_day',$data);
    }

}

Would this work? Or do i have to run a new “db->where” statement?

You need to write where condition twice, but you can try it in single line as follows:

$this->db->where(array('day'=>$this->current_date, 'month'=>$this->current_month, 'user_id'=>$user_id, 'budget_group_id'=>$budget_group_id));
