return $fields = $db->getFieldNames('menus') not working!?

Did you setup the env file in the root where index.php is? You need to set the CI_ENVIRONMENT = development
there then save it as .env

Quick way old faithful:

PHP Code:

echo $whatEver;
exit(); 


What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
