Code:

$this->db->where("status", 1);
$this->db->or_where("status", 1);

Wait... what??? when the user chooses "one" you are executing this SQL "... WHERE status = 1 OR status = 1" .... WHY???

STOP F-ING using Active Record if your brain can handle SQL! It leads to silly things like this.

[EDIT] Ignore this rant... I see you posted those first options of examples of what would not work due to the post format of your form [/EDIT]
