You cannot rely on undefined variables in PHP.  You must test to see if they exist and contain useful values before you use them in a script.

In case you're new to PHP and want to get a foundation (necessary for working on PHP internals of CodeIgniter or any other framework) this article might help.

I think you get that error when you load the page before to submit your query: this means that the chek

if($this->input->post('submit'))

fails and then the variable $dt['val'] is never filled and when the view is loaded it raises the error. Put a check in the View:

<?php 
if (isset($val))
{
foreach ($val as $va){?>
<?php echo  $va['namehost'];?><br>
<?php  }
}?>

And the error will go away :-)

About your model, here you'll find the info you need:https://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/database/active_record.html


 public function mgetclinds($a,$b,$c,$d,$e,$f,$g,$h,$i,$j)
    {
         $array = array(
              'state' => $f,
              'city' => $g,
              'area' => $h, 
              'cate' => $i,
              'for' => $j
         );
        $this->db->like($array);
        $query=$this->db->get($a,$b,$c,$d,$e);
        return $query->result_array();

Ok, I'd have to look at your code with more attention. It is inconsistent. Look at this: your model method accept 10 parameters
public function mgetclinds($a,$b,$c,$d,$e,$f,$g,$h,$i,$j)

Open in new window

but you pas it just 6
$dt['val']=$this->demomod->mgetclinds('reg',$selected1,$selected2,$selected3,$selected4,$selected5);

Open in new window

And 'reg' param what is? It is never used in model method so it is uneeded.
Let's summarize: you want look for records which have area, city, state etc LIKE the ones submitted by the user, right? Okay rewrite code this way and see if it makes sense:

Controller:
<?php  //ON CONTROLLER//
public function extra1()
        {
          if($this->input->post('submit'))
                {
                    $selected1=$this->input->post('state');
                    $selected2=$this->input->post('city');
                    $selected3=$this->input->post('area');
                    $selected4=$this->input->post('cate');
                    $selected5=$this->input->post('for');
              $dt['val']=$this->demomod->mgetclinds($selected1,$selected2,$selected3,$selected4,$selected5);
          }  
            
          $this->load->view('extra1',$dt); 

       }
    ?>

Open in new window


Model:
 public function mgetclinds($state,$city,$area,$cate,$for)
    {
         $array = array(
              'state' => $state,
              'city' => $city,
              'area' => $area, 
              'cate' => $cate,
              'for' => $for
         );
        $this->db->like($array);
        $query=$this->db->get('city', 'state', 'area', 'cate', 'for');
        return $query->result_array();
    }?>

I don't grant this one work, but it's more consistent. Notice I've used significant names for variables: it's a superflous diffculty to use meaningless letters: if you type a bit more, you can live better whean you have to debug your code :-)

I strongly discourage you from hiding errors, warnings and even notices: if there is an issue, then solve it now. Hiding it just grant you to accumulate an incredible amount of small issues which, all together, can make your life a nightmare.
That error is probably because the creation of $dt variable depends on the submission of values. If the user doesn't submit anything, that is if you access the page directly typing in the adddress bar of your browser www.yourdomain.com/controller_name/extra1, then the $dt array doesn't exsist, but you pass it to the view anyway: from here the warning. Do this instead:
<?php  //ON CONTROLLER//
public function extra1()
        {
          $dt['val'] = '';
          if($this->input->post('submit'))
                {
                    $selected1=$this->input->post('state');
                    $selected2=$this->input->post('city');
                    $selected3=$this->input->post('area');
                    $selected4=$this->input->post('cate');
                    $selected5=$this->input->post('for');
         
        
        $dt['val']=$this->demomod->mgetclinds('reg',$selected1,$selected2,$selected3,$selected4,$selected5);
          // echo "$selected1,$selected2,$selected3,$selected4,$selected5";
   
          }  
            
          $this->load->view('extra1',$dt); 

       }
    ?>
