[eluser]wemago[/eluser]
oks i couldnt find any awnser for this in the forum.

Code:

$this->db->select('username');
        $this->db->from('users');
        $this->db->join('articles', 'articles.author_id = users.user_id');
        
        return $this->db->get();

I'm trying to get a username and all i get is this ->

Object id #19

any idea why?it should give me the name.

thanx
