Codeigniter $this->db->get(), how do I return values for a specific row?

SOLUTION ONE

$this->db->where('id', '3');// here we select every column of the table$q = $this->db->get('my_users_table');$data = $q->result_array();echo($data[0]['age']);

SOLUTION TWO

// here we select just the age column$this->db->select('age');$this->db->where('id', '3');$q = $this->db->get('my_users_table');$data = $q->result_array();echo($data[0]['age']);

SOLUTION THREE

$this->db->select('age');$this->db->where('id', '3');$q = $this->db->get('my_users_table');// if id is unique, we want to return just one row$data = array_shift($q->result_array());echo($data['age']);

SOLUTION FOUR (NO ACTIVE RECORD)

$q = $this->db->query('SELECT age FROM my_users_table WHERE id = ?',array(3));$data = array_shift($q->result_array());echo($data['age']);

you can use row() instead of result().

$this->db->where('id', '3');$q = $this->db->get('my_users_table')->row();

Accessing a single row

//Result as an Object$result = $this->db->select('age')->from('my_users_table')->where('id', '3')->limit(1)->get()->row();echo $result->age;//Result as an Array$result = $this->db->select('age')->from('my_users_table')->where('id', '3')->limit(1)->get()->row_array();echo $result['age'];
