Answer 1

The problem is that if a checkbox wasn’t checked, it won’t send any data at all to the server. So, this line of code…

$name=$this->input->post('s_sibling_name');

…will actually set the $name variable to FALSE (see $this->input->post() documentation in the guide)

Thus, the first time through your loop, your code is looking for the array item at $name[0], when in fact $name is not even an array, it’s FALSE.

You could surround your for loop with an if/else statement to solve this problem (not the most elegant solution, but it would work):

if (is_array($name) && count($name) > 0)
{
  for($i=0;$i<count($name);$i++)
  {
    if($name[$i]!='')
      //etcetera...
  }
}
