There is indeed an update_batch() method available in CodeIgniter already.

You can use it your example like so:

$data = array(
    array(
        'ID' => 1,
        'Settings Name' => 'Hello',
        'Settings Value' => 'True'
    ),
    array(
        'ID' => 2,
        'Settings Name' => 'World',
        'Settings Value' => 'Good'
    )
);
$this->db->update_batch('tableName', $data, 'id'); 

So what you have is an array of arrays, the children basically hold the data for each row in the database. The first parameter for update_batch() is the name of the database table, the second is the $data variable and the third is the column you want to use in the WHEN clause.
