accessing data in a controller

Just make a variable that gets your model data.

Code:

$variable = $this->whatever_model->whatever_function();

Am I missing something? If you are trying to return your data like this:

Code:

$some_column = $variable->column_name;

Then you need to return your model data as a row_array(). Don't know if that's a requirement but it works for me. And result_array() lets you get more than one row.
