Using CI with traditional PHP Objects

[eluser]Pascal Kriete[/eluser]
Can you clarify what you're trying to achieve? I don't get the whole 'abstract to another class' thing. Most of the time one request won't do multiple things to a cat, will it?

I would personally just modify the cats directly with model calls:

Code:

// Model
// ...
return $query->result();

And then play with the cats:

Code:

// An awful example...
$cats = $this->cat_model->get_cats();

foreach($cats as $cat)
{
    if ($cat->name == 'Old Crumples')
    {
        $moto = 'I can haz ...';
        $this->cat_model->update_moto($cat->id, $moto);
    }
}

And as a side note, this piece of code:

Code:

foreach( $query->result_array() as $row )
{
    $result[] = $row;
}

It's merely copying an array:

Code:

$result = $query->result_array();
