Trouble passing results from the model to the controller

Hehe, look a little higher for the usernames .

It's called a ternary operation. Essentially it takes this basic form:

Code:

$value = condition ? if_true : if_false;

Which you could write as:

Code:

if (condition)
    $value = if_true;
else
    $value = if_false;

If you wanted to return $value, you would not assign it to a variable first - and the same concept applies here. So the code I posted translates to this:

Code:

if ($query->num_rows() > 0)
{
    return $query->row();
}
else
{
    return FALSE;
}

Hope that helps.
