Retrieve data from database using CodeIgniter framework


In this example we will discuss about how to retrieve a record or data from MySQL database using CodeIgniter framework PHP.

For retrieve data from MySQL database using CodeIgniter framework first we have to create a table in data base.

The SELECT statement is used to retrieve data from one or more tables:

The SQL query for retrieve specific column.

SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name

or we can use the * character to retrieve ALL columns from a table:

SELECT * FROM table_name

We use 3 file for retrieve students data.

  1. Crud.php Path: application\controllers\Crud.php
  2. Crud_model.php Path: application\models\Crud_model.php
  3. display_records.php Path: application\views\display_records.php

Sql Table

CREATE TABLE crud (
  `id` int(11) AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
  `first_name` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  `last_name` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(30) NOT NULL
);

Crud.php

<?php  
class Crud extends CI_Controller 
{
  public function __construct()
  {
  /*call CodeIgniter's default Constructor*/
  parent::__construct();

  /*load database libray manually*/
  $this->load->database();

  /*load Model*/
  $this->load->model('Crud_model');
  }
    /*Display*/
    public function displaydata()
  {
      $result['data']=$this->Crud_model->display_records();
      $this->load->view('display_records',$result);
  }
	
}
?>

Crud_model.php

<?php
class Crud_model extends CI_Model 
{
  /*View*/
    function display_records()
  {
    $query=$this->db->get("crud");
    return $query->result();
  }
	
} 

display_records.php

<html>
<head>
<title>Display records</title>
<style>
table, th, td {
  border: 1px solid black;
  border-collapse: collapse;
}
</style>
</head>
 
<body>
<table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
  <tr style="background:#CCC">
    <th>Sr No</th>
    <th>First_name</th>
    <th>Last_name</th>
    <th>Email Id</th>
  </tr>
  <?php
  $i=1;
  foreach($data as $row)
  {
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td>".$i."</td>";
  echo "<td>".$row->first_name."</td>";
  echo "<td>".$row->last_name."</td>";
  echo "<td>".$row->email."</td>";
  echo "</tr>";
  $i++;
  }
   ?>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Now run the program on your browser with the below URL:

http://localhost/codeIgniter/index.php/Crud/displaydata

After fetch data the table look like this.
