SQL query - strange behaviour?

[eluser]TheFuzzy0ne[/eluser]
It's strange that there's no database error number... I would suggest trying to escape your query better. I don't see how it should make any difference, but I reckon it's worth a try.

Code:

$query = 'SELECT `category`, `ticket_contents`
    FROM `support_tickets`
    WHERE `sender` = ?';

Or use the Active Record class:

Code:

$this->db->select('category, ticket_contents');

$result = $this->db->get_where(
        'support_tickets',
        array('sender' => 'las3r')
    );
