CodeIgniter Database INSERT record

In this example, we will INSERT different values in database showing meaning of Indian names through CodeIgniter.

In application/controller, file baby_form.php is created.

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Baby_form extends CI_Controller {
	
	public function index()
	{
		$this->load->view("baby_form_add");
	}
	function savingdata()
	{
		//this array is used to get fetch data from the view page.
		$data = array(
						'name'     => $this->input->post('name'),
						'meaning'  => $this->input->post('meaning'),
						'gender'   => $this->input->post('gender'),
						'religion' => $this->input->post('religion')
						);
		//insert data into database table.
		$this->db->insert('baby',$data);

		redirect("baby_form/index");
	}
}
?>

Look at the above snapshot, our table name is 'baby'.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>Baby Form Add</title>
</head>
<body>
	<form method="post" action="<?php echo site_url('baby_form/savingdata'); ?>">
		<table>
			<tr>
				<td>Name:</td>
				<td>:</td>
				<td><input type="text" name="name"></td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>Meaning:</td>
				<td>:</td>
				<td><input type="text" name="meaning"></td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>Gender:</td>
				<td>:</td>
				<td><input type="text" name="gender"></td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td>Religion:</td>
				<td>:</td>
				<td><input type="text" name="religion"></td>
			</tr><br><br>
			<tr>
				<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save">
			</tr>
		</table>
	</form>
</body>
</html>

This is our view page which is being loaded in the controller's page.
