How to join table in Codeigniter?

@raven_corwin 

To join two tables in Codeigniter, you can use the join method of the database query builder class. Here is an example of how to use it:

1
2
3
4

$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('table1');
$this->db->join('table2', 'table1.field1 = table2.field2');
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->result();

This will generate an inner join SQL query that selects all fields from both table1 and table2, and returns the result set.

You can also specify additional join conditions and use different types of joins, such as left join, right join, or outer join. Here is an example of a left join:

1
2
3
4
5

$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('table1');
$this->db->join('table2', 'table1.field1 = table2.field2', 'left');
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->result();

For more information about joining tables in Codeigniter, you can refer to the official documentation: https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/database/query_builder.html#selecting-data

To join tables in CodeIgniter, you can follow these steps:

1. Load the database library in your controller or model:

1

$this->load->database();

1. Define the tables you want to join in the from() function of the database query builder:

1
2

$this->db->from('table1');
$this->db->join('table2', 'table1.column = table2.column');

1. Specify the JOIN type (optional). By default, CodeIgniter uses INNER JOIN, but you can change it using the join() function:

1

$this->db->join('table2', 'table1.column = table2.column', 'left');

1. Add any other conditions or constraints if needed with the where() or where_in() functions:

1

$this->db->where('table1.column', 'value');

1. Execute the query and get the results:

1
2

$query = $this->db->get();
$result = $query->result();

Here's a complete example of a table join in CodeIgniter:

1

function get_data() {
    $this->db->from('table1');
    $this->db->join('table2', 'table1.column = table2.column', 'left');
    $this->db->where('table1.column', 'value');
    $query = $this->db->get();
    return $query->result();
}

Make sure to replace 'table1', 'table2', and 'column' with the actual names of your tables and columns.
