Thanks for that.
I don't understand why num_rows() would fail on Chrome but not on FF or IE.
Surely it would fail for all three ?
A little Googling has revealed that percent 3C is sometimes used in xss hacks. My site was hacked last week.
Looking into the CI error logs I see all kinds of 404 Page Not Found --> welcome/percent 3C
I will follow your advice and use AR for the query, but it remains a mystery to me that Chrome fails and the other two do not - I can not help but think that this has something to do with some residual malware in the system which FF and IE is filtering - possible ????
Thanks
