codeigniter undefined offset error

Question

I'm currently learning cart system with CI and got some problems

A PHP Error was encountered 
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined offset: 2
Filename: models/main_model.php
Line Number: 241

here's the code:

Controller:

function update_cart(){
    $this->main_model->validate_update_cart();
    redirect('cart');
}

Model:

function validate_update_cart(){

    // Get the total number of items in cart
    $total = $this->cart->total_items();

    // Retrieve the posted information
    $item = $this->input->post('rowid');
    $qty = $this->input->post('qty');

    // Cycle true all items and update them
    for($i=0;$i < $total;$i++)
    {
        // Create an array with the products rowid's and quantities. 
        $data = array(
           'rowid' => $item[$i], //this is line 241
           'qty'   => $qty[$i]
        );

        // Update the cart with the new information
        $this->cart->update($data);
    }

}

view:

<div id="main">
<?php if(!$this->cart->contents()):
    echo 'You don\'t have any items yet.';
else:
?>

<?php echo form_open('cart/update_cart'); ?>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <td style="background-color:yellow;">Qty</td>
            <td style="background-color:yellow;">Item No/td>
            <td style="background-color:yellow;">Description</td>
            <td style="background-color:yellow;">Color</td>
            <td style="background-color:yellow;">Price</td>
            <td style="background-color:yellow;">Sub-Total</td>
            <td style="background-color:yellow;">Delete</td>

        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <?php $i = 1; ?>
        <?php foreach($this->cart->contents() as $items): ?>

        <?php echo form_hidden('rowid[]', $items['rowid']); ?>
        <tr <?php if($i&1){ echo 'class="alt"'; }?>>
            <td>
                <?php echo form_input(array('name' => 'qty[]', 'value' => $items['qty'], 'maxlength' => '3', 'size' => '5')); ?>
            </td>
            <td><a style="font-size:11px;"><?php echo $items['id']?></a></td>
            <td><a style="font-size:11px;"><?php echo $items['name']; ?></a></td>
            <td><a style="font-size:11px;"><?php echo $items['warna']?></a></td>
            <td><a style="font-size:11px;">Rp. <?php echo number_format($items['price'],0,",",".");?></a></td>
            <td><a style="font-size:11px;">Rp. <?php echo number_format($items['subtotal'],0,",",".");?></a></td>
            <td><a href="<?= base_url();?>cart/delete/<?= $items['rowid'];?>"><img src="<?= base_url();?>assets/image/hapus.png"></img></a></td>
        </tr>

        <?php $i++; ?>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="5"><strong>Total</strong></td>
            <td colspan="2"><a align="right"><?php echo $this->cart->format_number($this->cart->total()); ?></a></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p><?php echo "<input type='submit' class='Button' value='Update'>";?></p>
<?php 
echo form_close(); 
endif;
?>

edited the view, complete code. when i click the update button it returned error live above. thanks.

Answer 1

It seems that $this->cart->total_items() returns something different from the total items in the $item and $qty arrays. Later on, you are using this result to iterate these arrays, and the loop variable ($i) exceeds the arrays' boundaries.

Change your loop to:

for($i=0;$i < count($item);$i++)

You can choose count($qty) if you prefer, provided that the two arrays contain the same number of elements (which has to be true anyway, in order for the whole algorithm to work).

Answer 2

when you receive the post you should use

rowid[] instead of rowid
