Answer 1

Just stumbled upon the exact same problem here. Fortunately, I'm using the same CI version. :)

It's true that the answer from M_A_K helps remove the "Notice", but I don't think that is the right solution for the problem. So I decided to take a look at line 1407 in DB_active_rec.php and I believe that this is nothing but a minor bug in CI 2.1.2.

Here's my fix. I simply changed the original code:

$not[] = $k.'-'.$v;

into this:

$not[] = $k2.'-'.$v2;

Voila! The "Notice" doesn't appear anymore. :)

We can clearly see that line 1407 was not meant to use $k and $v because line 1407 is inside a foreach loop iterating through $v as $k2 and $v2.

I hope I'm making myself clear.
