Hi !

Kind of a newbie question :-)
I've been using codeigniter for some time now and am really enjoying the overview you get when you code your pages.

I currently have a page with a MySQL query on it.
Withing that query, I pass an ID value to a custom library function.

$this->customlib->function($row->id);

The function does it's job correctly... (running a new query and fetching the needed values).
Problem is... how do I pass the newly aquired data from my custom function to the previous function...

a return would not work as this would only pass one value I suppose, and I need a an array with MySQL data coming back to me...

Managed to get this done by loading a view from the custom libraries function.
Don't know if this is the correct way, highly doubt it :-)

Your custom lib would look like this:

Code:
class Customlib{

   __construct(){

   }

   function($id){

        $CI =& get_instance(); 

        $CI->load->model('my_model');

     //do something with the ID

     $data = $CI->my_model->mysql_query_function($id) //run your query

     return $data   //finished

   }

}

In your controller. At the end I usually use a print_r or var_dump to check the data returned

Code:
$this->load->library('cusomlib'); 

$data = $this->customlib->function($row->id); 

print_r($data) //Check to see what the data is

I'm gonna try this out later on and I'll bet it will work :-)
