GET in a word

What on earth is BISH?

This question feels like it would be more at home on https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/

If you explain it a bit more I am intrigued to find out what you are actually asking...

PS Do you mean something like:

PHP Code:

$row = $this->db->where('edition_name', $BISH)->limit(1)->get('edition')->row_array();
