result_array() turns nothing but 'array' text.

But if there are no results, $q->result() will just be an empty array anyway, so you might as well just...

Code:

function get_tickets2()
{
  return $this->db
    ->select('ref_code, ref_desc')
    ->where('tab_code', 'APPN')
    ->get('prob_ref')
    ->result();
}
