Create a search bar with multiple columns in codeigniter - search

Question

Controller:
public function search_products_auto(){
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url','common'));
$this->load->library(array('session','pagination'));
$this->load->model('homemodel','',TRUE);
$this->homemodel->search_products_auto();
}
public function search($subcategory=''){
$this->load->helper(array('form', 'url','common'));
$this->load->library(array('session','pagination'));
$this->load->model('homemodel','',TRUE);
$search_name=$this->input->post("title"); // first get search character
$data['records']=$this->homemodel->search($search_name,$_GET); // SearchModel is the model class name
$data['category']=$this->homemodel->getAllCategories();
$data['subcategory']=$subcategory;
$data['mens']=$this->homemodel->getAllMen();
$data['womens']=$this->homemodel->getAllWomen();
$data['scarves']=$this->homemodel->getAllScarve();
$data['collections']=$this->homemodel->getAllCollection();
$data['material']=['Cotton'=>'Cotton','Polyster'=>'Polyster'];
$data['color']=['Red'=>'Red','Black'=>'Black','Blue'=>'Blue','Green'=>'Green','Orange'=>'Orange','Black'=>'Black'];
$data['size'] =['S'=>'S','M'=>'M','L'=>'L','XL'=>'XL','XXL'=>'XXL','XXL'=>'XXL'];
$data['subcat']=$this->homemodel->getAllSubCat($search_name,$_GET);
$data['price']=$this->homemodel->getPrice($search_name,$_GET);
$this->load->view('products',$data);
}
Model:
function search($search_name,$search=array(),$cat_array=array()){
$search=array_filter($search);
$this->db->select('product.*');
$this->db->select('product_images.features');
$this->db->select('product_images.image');
$this->db->from('product');
$this->db->join('product_images',"product.id=product_images.product_id and product_images.features='yes'");
$this->db->join('product_material',"product.id=product_material.product_id",'left');
$this->db->join('product_color',"product.id=product_color.product_id",'left');
$this->db->join('product_size',"product.id=product_size.product_id",'left');
if(isset($cat_array->sub_cat_id) && $cat_array->sub_cat_id!=''){
$this->db->where('product.product_subcategory',$cat_array->sub_cat_id);
}
if(isset($search['material']) && $search['material']!=''){
$this->db->where_in('product_material.material',explode(",",$search['material']));
}
if(isset($search['color']) && $search['color']!=''){
$this->db->where_in('product_color.color',explode(",",$search['color']));
}
if(isset($search['size']) && $search['size']!=''){
$this->db->where_in('product_size.size',explode(",",$search['size']));
}
if(isset($search['price']) && $search['price']!=''){
$this->db->where_in('product.product_price',explode(",",$search['price']));
}
if(isset($search['search']) && $search['search']!=''){
$this->db->or_like(array('product.product_name'=>$search['search'],'product.sku_number'=>$search['search']));
}
$this->db->or_like(array('product.product_name'=>$search_name,'product.sku_number'=>$search_name));
$this->db->where("product.status='active'");
$this->db->group_by(['product_color.product_id','product_material.product_id','product_size.product_id']);
$query=$this->db->get();
$result=$query->result();
return $result;
}
function search_products_auto(){
$search_item = $this->input->post('query');
$this->db->select(['product.id','product.product_name','product.sku_number']);
$this->db->from('product');
if($search_item!=''){
$this->db->or_like(array('product.product_name'=>$search_item,'product.sku_number'=>$search_item));
}
$this->db->where("product.status='active'");
$query=$this->db->get();
$result=$query->result();
$dataSearch=[];
if(count($result)>0){
$i=0;
foreach($result as $results)
{
$dataSearch[$i]['id']=isset($results->id)?$results->id:"";
$dataSearch[$i]['name']=isset($results->product_name)?$results->product_name:"";
$dataSearch[$i]['name']=isset($results->sku_number)?$results->sku_number:"";
$i++;
}
}
echo json_encode($dataSearch);
}
Now, I am getting only sku number values in search bar...not the other value. How can I get all three in one search bar. I am unable to understand the concept of integrating three into one array.Rest of the things are working properly, except this search bar and also the search results are also not fine.

Please try these code it may help you, I have change only in Model:
function search($search_name, $search=array(), $cat_array=array()){
$search = array_filter($search);
$this->db->select('product.*');
$this->db->select('product_images.features');
$this->db->select('product_images.image');
$this->db->from('product');
$this->db->join('product_images',"product.id=product_images.product_id and product_images.features='yes'");
if(isset($cat_array->sub_cat_id) && $cat_array->sub_cat_id!=''){
$this->db->where('product.product_subcategory',$cat_array->sub_cat_id);
}
if(isset($search['price']) && $search['price']!=''){
$this->db->where_in('product.product_price',explode(",", $search['price']));
}
if(isset($search['search']) && $search['search']!=''){
$this->db->or_like(array('product.product_name' => $search['search'],'product.sku_number' => $search['search']));
}
if(isset($search['material']) && $search['material']!=''){
$this->db->join('product_material',"product.id=product_material.product_id",'left');
$this->db->where_in('product_material.material',explode(",",$search['material']));
}
if(isset($search['color']) && $search['color']!=''){
$this->db->join('product_color',"product.id=product_color.product_id",'left');
$this->db->where_in('product_color.color',explode(",",$search['color']));
}
if(isset($search['size']) && $search['size']!=''){
$this->db->join('product_size',"product.id=product_size.product_id",'left');
$this->db->where_in('product_size.size',explode(",",$search['size']));
}
$this->db->or_like( array('product.product_name' => $search_name, 'product.sku_number' => $search_name));
$this->db->where("product.status='active'");
$this->db->group_by(['product_color.product_id','product_material.product_id','product_size.product_id']);
$query = $this->db->get();
$result_array = $query->result_array();
/* $result=$query->result(); */
return $result_array;
}
function search_products_auto(){
$search_item = $this->input->post('query');
$this->db->select(['product.id','product.product_name','product.sku_number']);
$this->db->from('product');
if($search_item != ''){
$this->db->or_like(array('product.product_name' => $search_item, 'product.sku_number' => $search_item));
}
$this->db->where("product.status","active");
$query = $this->db->get();
/* $result=$query->result();
$dataSearch=[];
if(count($result)>0){
$i=0;
foreach($result as $results)
{
$dataSearch[$i]['id']=isset($results->id)?$results->id:"";
$dataSearch[$i]['name']=isset($results->product_name)?$results->product_name:"";
$dataSearch[$i]['sku_number']=isset($results->sku_number)?$results->sku_number:"";
$i++;
}
}
echo json_encode($dataSearch); */
echo json_encode($query->result_array());
}
