Codeigniter array issue - arrays

Question

I'm trying to loop through an array and insert my values into the database. My table looks like this:
hours_day
hours_open
hours_close
My form enables the user to select a day, an opening time and a closing time. There is a plus button which adds another day below it, so the user can choose whichever days they wish. This means that my select box names are arrays, i.e. hours_day[]
My Model looks like this:
$hours = array(
'hours_day' => $this->input->post('venue_hours_day'),
'hours_opening' => $this->input->post('venue_hours_open'),
'hours_closing' => $this->input->post('venue_hours_close'),
);
So I have an array ($hours) with arrays inside of it (hours_day, hours_opening, hours_closing). How do I loop through this an add it to my database?

Answer 1

You can use :
$post_day = $this->input->post('venue_hours_day');
$post_opening = $this->input->post('venue_hours_open');
$post_closing = $this->input->post('venue_hours_closing');
$count = count($post_day);
$results = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
{
$results []= array(
'hours_day' => $post_day[$i],
'hours_opening' => $post_opening[$i],
'hours_closing' => $post_closing[$i]
);
}
$this->db->insert_batch('your_table', $results);
