insert array value in database

Question

I need to insert array value into table I have the forms which has array value.Now return only first character of an array 's' need to print 'sample1'

<input type="text"  placeholder="First Name" name="first_name[]"/>
<input type="text"  placeholder="Last Name" name="last_name[]">
<input type="text"  placeholder="Age" name="age[]">

codeigniter code

   $fname=$this->input->post('first_name');
   foreach($fname as $name){
       $n=$name['first_name']; //return only first character
     }

  print_r($fname) return an array
    Array ( [0] => sample1 [1] => sample2 )

Your form names are arrays, if you want only a singular value, remove the [] from them, and don't foreach the post value. — James Lalor

Just use like this :

foreach($fname as $name){
       $n=$name;
     }

Edit :

$fname=$this->input->post('first_name');
for($i=0;$i<count($fname);$i++) {
    echo $fname[$i];
}

I need to get 2nd value from the array i.e) sample2

Mr. Engineer Over a year ago

Then simple use $fname[1]. No need for foreach.

user3386779 Over a year ago

can you please give example

Mr. Engineer Over a year ago

$fname=$this->input->post('first_name'); echo$fname[1];

user3386779 Over a year ago

for($i=0;$i<($a-1);$i++) { echo $i; $person = array( 'firstName' => $fname[$i], 'lastName' => $lname[$i] ); }

change foreach like this

   foreach($fname as $name){
   $n=$name; //return only first character
 }

this working fine

OR You store all data (first_name) single cell try this

example: sample1,sample2

 $first_names= implode(",",$fname);

You can use it like this:

foreach($this->input->post("first_name") as $name){
    $n=$name;
}

No need to assign post data to a variable.
