Avoid foreach() with Active Record? - El Forum - 08-24-2007

Hi all,

Is there any possibility for avoiding a foreach() construct when using Active Record type queries? For instance, I'm trying to receive just a single row/value from a table which can simply be assigned to a scaler, so using a foreach construct to get the results seems a bit overkill.

Thanks .... as usual. :-)

Code:
$query = $this->db->getwhere('users',  array('id'=>$id), 1, 0);
$row = $query->row()
echo $row->username;

heh - I just so happened to hop into the forums for the first time today and saw this post.

Bet you thought I just sit here refreshing all day, huh?

Note: That usually is the case, I was just really busy at work today and finally got a break.
