Question

When a user is in their account and clicks ‘delete account’ its supposed to delete the user, along with messages they left for users, and also stop showing as a friend to other users. I have 2 of these working but messages still appear for another user if they log in. I have a function already created that a user can use to delete messages from friends, and I’ve tried to implement this into a new function so it will delete messages, but from specific friends. Here is the original deleteMsg which will delete all the fields(message_id, from, to, message) so the message will be deleted in the messages database. This function appears in my messages model:

function deleteMsg($message_id)
 {

$this->db->where(array('message_id' => $message_id));
$this->db->delete('messages');

 }

Here is the function I’m trying to implement so that when the delete account is called it will delete all messages left by this now deleted user on other user’s homepages. It also appears in my model:

  function deleteAccountMsg($message_id, $from)
  {
$delAcctMsg = $this->db->select('*')->from('messages')->where('message_id', $message_id)->where('from', $from);
$delete = $this->db->delete('messages', $delAcctMsg);

    }

Finally, here is the DeleteUserAccount function in my controller that is supposed to grab everything associated with the user and delete it :

 function Deleteuseraccount()
 {
    parent::__construct();

    $this->load->model("membership");
    $this->load->model("friends");
    $this->load->model("messages");


    $username = $this->session->userdata('username');
    $this->membership->deleteUser($username);
    $this->friends->deleteMemberFriend($username, $friendname);
    $this->messages-> deleteAccountMsg($message_id, $from);// this is the function I'm calling that isn't deleting the associate messages from the deleted user
    $this->session->sess_destroy();
    redirect('start');
 } 
}

Answer 1

$this->db->select(‘*’)->from(‘messages’)->where(‘from’, $username)->or_where(‘to’, $username);

This actually solved this issue
