$row=$query->row();
return $row->last_name . $row->first_name;
}
else
{
return "fatal error";
}
}


.....

<?
$x=0;
$query = $this->db->query("select * from bw_message where userid='".$this->session->userdata('userid')."' and label='0' order by date desc");
if ($query->num_rows() > 0)
{
foreach ($query->result() as $row)
{
?>
<tr>
<td>
&lt;input type="checkbox" name="chkName"&gt;

Firstly go to application/config/autoload.php and check whether database class is loaded or not.Add your controller so i can try to help u.

solution:

function users($db, $str)
{
$query = $db->db->query("select * from bw_users where id='".$str."'");
if ($query->num_rows() > 0)
{
$row=$query->row();
return $row->username;
}
else
{
return "fatal error";
}
}


....


&lt;?= users($this,$row->sent_id); ?&gt;

$this == database ... i give it to function().

that's work!

thx

Actual solution: Don't make database calls in views
Technical solution:

Code:

function users($str) {
    $CI =& get_instance();
    $query = $CI->db->query('select * from bw_users where id="'.$str.'"');
    // etc
}
