[NEED HELP!] Codeigniter Code Validation!

[HaselBiscuit]

Hello BBHF's Members

I'm sorry if im wrong to post this thread in this section.

i need help to validate that the email with no duplication and the name, middlename lastname also, when i add a full info of a student.

Example:

Magic Button :

when a add a student name

"Brendon Rayle G. Montoya"

it will add for a new record, if still the same name in the example it will prompt

"Student name is Already Exist"

if i add a new student still the same Name and Lastname but the Middle name is not

it will be valid to add. same process in updating student.

Here's the Controller Code

Code:

function student($param1 = '', $param2 = '', $param3 = '')
{
    if ($this->session->userdata('admin_login') != 1)
        redirect('login', 'refresh');
    if ($param1 == 'create') {
        $data['name']        = $this->input->post('name');
        $data['mname']       = $this->input->post('mname');
        $data['lastname']    = $this->input->post('lastname');
        $data['birthday']    = $this->input->post('birthday');
        $data['sex']         = $this->input->post('sex');
        $data['address']     = $this->input->post('address');
        $data['phone']       = $this->input->post('phone');
        $data['email']       = $this->input->post('email');
        $data['password']    = md5($this->input->post('password'));
        $data['father_name'] = $this->input->post('father_name');
        $data['mother_name'] = $this->input->post('mother_name');
        $data['class_id']    = $this->input->post('class_id');
        $data['roll']        = $this->input->post('roll');
        $this->db->insert('student', $data);
        $student_id = mysql_insert_id();
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], 'uploads/student_image/' . $student_id . '.jpg');
        $this->email_model->account_opening_email('student', $data['email']); //SEND EMAIL ACCOUNT OPENING EMAIL
        $this->session->set_flashdata('flash_message', get_phrase('add_student_success'));
        redirect(base_url() . 'index.php?admin/student/' . $data['class_id'], 'refresh');
    }
    if ($param2 == 'do_update') {
        $data['name']        = $this->input->post('name');
        $data['mname']       = $this->input->post('mname');
        $data['lastname']    = $this->input->post('lastname');
        $data['birthday']    = $this->input->post('birthday');
        $data['sex']         = $this->input->post('sex');
        $data['address']     = $this->input->post('address');
        $data['phone']       = $this->input->post('phone');
        $data['email']       = $this->input->post('email');
        $data['password']    = md5($this->input->post('password'));
        $data['father_name'] = $this->input->post('father_name');
        $data['mother_name'] = $this->input->post('mother_name');
        $data['class_id']    = $this->input->post('class_id');
        $data['roll']        = $this->input->post('roll');

        $this->db->where('student_id', $param3);
        $this->db->update('student', $data);
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], 'uploads/student_image/' . $param3 . '.jpg');
        $this->crud_model->clear_cache();
        $this->session->set_flashdata('flash_message', get_phrase('edit_student_success'));
        redirect(base_url() . 'index.php?admin/student/' . $param1, 'refresh');
    } else if ($param2 == 'edit') {
        $page_data['edit_data'] = $this->db->get_where('student', array(
            'student_id' => $param3
        ))->result_array();
    } else if ($param2 == 'personal_profile') {
        $page_data['personal_profile']   = true;
        $page_data['current_student_id'] = $param3;
    } else if ($param2 == 'academic_result') {
        $page_data['academic_result']    = true;
        $page_data['current_student_id'] = $param3;
    }

maybe that helps.

If u want to learn the best way is to take apart something that exists, soon as u understand it, break it on purpose, and try to fix it :P

If u want to pay someone $50 to write it for u, hell yes ill do and wrap a ribbon around it too..but honestly u would be better off gaining the XP yourself.

Need to update my phpStorm, and ill see if i cant do it for u for free.. in all honesty i need all the practice i can get too. im busy rewriting all the pintastic apps from ground up using fresh codeigniter base. for me the best way to understand it has been actually writing and debugging... reading gives me headaches and i get bored.
