Question

I am just curious if there a way to access the data in the object from $this->db->get_where() directly without resorting to result_object(), result_array(), row_array(), row_object(), etc.

Even so, does this break good OOP practice of encapsulating objects?

Answer 1

Yes. You can use it via:

$result = $this->db->get_where()->result();

Kindly ask if it not worked for you.
