Code logic in codeigniter

You've removed most of the conditionals from the view, so the previous comments don't really make as much sense.

You should probably change your get_user_details() method in MY_Controller to be protected instead of public, since public methods in the controller are routable (unless they start with an underscore). So someone could visit /account/get_user_details/{$user_id}. It might not get them anything useful, but you never know.
