how to run query within helper

[eluser]xwero[/eluser]
Normally a helper with a query is a part of a custom library and if the library is build following the rules you would already have a model and 90% of the time there would already be a method that provides the data you need for your helper.

But if you don't want a model you still have to get the CI object an chain everything of that

Code:

$ci =& get_instance();
$ci->load->database();
$ci->db->query(’some query’);
