As far as I can see, there is some bug in your code somewhere, unfortunately since I can't see it and your database I don't know what it is.

Try this, for debugging:

Code:

//dummy variable
$pass_thru = 5;

$stmt = $this->db->prepare("SELECT * FROM tbl_blog WHERE blog_id <= :test");
$stmt->bindParam(':test', $pass_thru, PDO::PARAM_INT);

// Notice that execute() returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure
if($stmt->execute()) {
    echo count($stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC));
}
else {
    print_r($stmt->errorInfo());
}
die;

Stupid me! There was an issue with my db connection. Thanks everyone for the help on this. Even though it was very painful, and probably painful for all involved, I learned a lot.

By using PDO like this, it does remove it from CodeIgniter's syntax. While the idea with CI is to reduce code by using Active Record, I think I will keep my db stuff in PDO. If someone is against this approach, I would love to hear why. I am definitely open minded for change.

Thanks again everyone!
