Database Query Problem

[eluser]Kyle Wiebers[/eluser]
I'm just getting back into using CodeIgniter for a project and I can't seem to get the method below to work properly. Currently nothing is returned when I try to access it in a Controller. When I try to run the same query in a DBMS it returns the expected value.

Can anyone help?

Code:

function setProject($name) {
        $arr = $this->db->query('SELECT PROJECT_ID FROM PROJECT WHERE TITLE = '.$name.'LIMIT 1')->result_array();
        return $arr[0]['PROJECT_ID'];
    }
