Data type changes when selecting using Active Record

First of all, why are you returning records with result() function when you just need a single row? Try this:

Model

Code:

function item_detail ($item_id)
{
$query = $this->db->get_where('items',array('item_id' => $item_id));
return ($query->row());
}

Controller

Code:

$data['this_item'] = $this->Item_model->item_detail($item_id);
$this->load->view('item_edit_v.php', $data);

Not sure this will solve your problem but this is much better than your code.
