[Active Records] Disabling the protection of identifiers - El Forum - 09-01-2009

The following statement gives me problems

Code:
$this->db->select('round(produces.price*produces.discount*'.vat().',2) as price');

It causes problems because vat() returns a value of 1.19.

This will generate mysql code which is invalid.

Code:
`round(produces`.`price*produces`.`discount*1`.`19`, `2)`

I tried to use $this->db->protect_identifiers but this function doesn't allow you to disable the backticks. How can I disable the backticks generated for the 1.19 value?

From manual...

Quote:$this->db->select() accepts an optional second parameter. If you set it to FALSE, CodeIgniter will not try to protect your field or table names with backticks. This is useful if you need a compound select statement.

The worse thing is that in this post I give the ansmer myself.

Hahaha. Happens to me all the time! Good thing CI has detailed docs (when you can scrutinize them better when not exhausted.) You're welcome.
