Question

Using CI for the first time and i’m smashing my head with this seemingly simple issue. My query wont insert the record.

In an attempt to debug a possible problem, the insert code has been simplified but i’m still getting no joy.

Essentially, i’m using;

$data = array('post_post' => $this->input->post('ask_question'));
$this->db->insert('posts', $data); 

I’m getting no errors (although that possibly due to disabling them in config/database.php due to another CI related trauma :-$ )

Ive used

echo print $this->db->last_query();

to get the generated query, shown as below:

INSERT INTO `posts` (`post_post`) VALUES ('some text')

I have pasted this query into phpMyAdmin, it inserts no problem. Ive even tried using $this->db->query() to run the outputted query above ‘manually’ but again, the record will not insert.

The scheme of the DB table ‘posts’ is simply two columns, post_id & post_post.

Please, any pointers on whats going on here would be greatly appreciated…thanks

Answer 1

OK..Solved, after much a messing with CI.

Got it to work by setting persistant connection to false.

$db['default']['pconnect'] = FALSE;
