Using CI with traditional PHP Objects

[quote author="prezet" date="1225415031"]OK, thanks, I'll look into that...

as for your mention of :

The ‘CI way’ would be to use the builtin database drivers and load the objects from that.

Could you expand on what you meant by that?

Thanks[/quote]

By that I simply meant that you would do the

Code:

$this->db->query($SQL);

and then work through it as you showed in your code. You may also take a look at DataMapper or IgnitedRecord. I just started looking into these two after answering your request. The reason to look at these is they use the same database drivers so you are not needing a totally different db library, just an extension of it.
