How to access data returned from model?

Thanks. Took your suggestion to do var_dump, this is what I got:
array(1) { ["pubdates"]=> array(0) { } }

So it appears as if the nested array is empty, yet when you pass it through to the View the data is accessible via $pubdates. Don't quite get that. I did try the $data['pubdates'][0]->pubid syntax but that gave property error.

Anyway I think I will look at changing what is returned rather than spend more time on this object.

Thanks for your suggestions.
