Sorry, but I just don't get it

And addition to the last answer, you should return the result from model, not echo it. I dont know if your code was just to test things and you have returned the result but here goes:

Code:

function listoutageupdates($id)
    {
        $this->db->order_by("updateid", "desc");
        $query = $this->db->get_where('updates', array('outageid' => $id));

        return $query->result();
    }

And view should be sumthing like this(althought im not entirely sure what you want to output):

Code:

<?php
        if ($update)
        {
            foreach ($update as $item)
            {
                ?&gt;<hr>
                <b>Update #&lt;?php echo $item->text.($item->updateid+1) ?&gt;</b><br />&lt;?php
                echo $item->updateid;
            }
        }
        ?&gt;
