function FIND_IN_SET() not working in codeigniter
You must always check the results from the FIND_IN_SET() function somehow to make it work, try this:
$this->db->where("FIND_IN_SET('$value',employer_job_location) !=", 0);
function company_by_category_model($category_id){ $this->db->select('*'); $this->db->from('company_information,user_information'); $search="FIND_IN_SET ('".$category_id."',company_category) AND company_information.allowstatus=1 AND company_information.delstatus=0 AND company_information.user_id=user_information.user_id"; $this->db->where($search); $this->db->order_by('company_id','desc'); $query=$this->db->get(); return $query->result();}Try removing single quote from $category_id this is variable
FIND_IN_SET() - this function is useful where you have comma separated list of values stored in database and want to check if a value exist in that comma separated list.
Example: WHERE FIND_IN_SET( ‘yellow’, color list )
