[quote author="ricardino" date="1251915192"]Thanks for the help. So im right in understanding that the line $res->result() returns an object? so accessing it (if theres anything in it) would be a case of $object->attribute? how would i check if something is actually object, is there isobject function?[/quote]

You don't really care if it's an object, so much as whether your query returned any rows. Hence the num_rows() function and suggestion.

I never use objects as return, btw, instead using the result_array and row_array functions .. but I'm old school
