View is showing only first letter of the result value

Fixed my issue. Evidently, I wasn't working with an array.

changes in View:

Code:

<?php foreach ($result as $val){ ?>
    <h3>&lt;?php echo $val['shipping_id']; ?&gt;</h3>
    <br/>
&lt;?php }  ?&gt;

changes in Model:

Code:

function getTestData(){
        $data = array();
        $q = $this->db->get('shipping',5);
        if($q->num_rows() > 0){
            foreach($q->result_array() as $row){
                $data[] = $row;
            }
        }        
        $q->free_result();
        return $data;
    }

I know this is a little different form the first version which was only one array, where this is an array of arrays.
