Answer 1

In your Model you can run an SQL query to see if the primary key is already present. If it is, then you can simply return an error code to the Controller, which should handle things from there (by sending an error message to the View).

Model

function checkPrimaryKey($primary_key){
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE primary_key = '$primary_key'";
    /* Replace table_name And primary_key With Actual Table Name And Column Name */
    $query=$this->db->query($sql);
    if($query->num_rows() == 1){
        return -1; //Key already exists
    }
    else{
        return 0;  //Key does not exist
    }
}

Controller

function checkPrimaryKey($primary_key){
    $this->load->model('Model_name');
    if($this->Model_name->checkPrimaryKey($primary_key)==-1){
        //Appropriate Error Message
    }
    else {
        //Call Some Model Function to Insert The Data And/Or Display Appropriate Success Message
    }
}
