Resetting the value of $this

[eluser]nydeveloper[/eluser]
Try:

Code:

$this->db->close();

// then reopen the database.
$this->load->database();

I tried this, and it seemed to have no effect. I may have explained the issue incorrectly. The var_dump($this); statement returns the same output both before and after the close and load statements above. Here is a sample output:

object(Student_Model)#14 (21) { ["student_id"]=> string(1) "6" ["student_sector"]=> int(90) ["student_grouping"]=> int(40) ["grade_average"]=> int(3) }

I've removed a few of the variables from the output, but you get the point... I don't want any of these particular variables saved in memory. The reason for this is I'm trying to update a different table, one without these particular variables. However, when I try updating one specific column, the above variables are automatically added to the update statement.
