It did not work with the db select for some reason so just went with db get and where

PHP Code:

<?php

class Set_language {

    public function __construct() {
        $this->ci =& get_instance();
        //$this->ci->config->set_item('language', $this->lang());
    }

    public function lang() {
        $this->ci->db->where('code', $this->get_lang());
        $query = $this->ci->db->get($this->ci->db->dbprefix . 'language');

        $row = $query->row();
        return $row->directory;
    }

    public function get_lang() {
        $this->ci->db->where('item_name', 'admin_language');
        $query = $this->ci->db->get($this->ci->db->dbprefix . 'setting');

        $row = $query->row();
        return $row->item_value;
    }
}
