[Solved] Get data from database

I think I have worked it out using or_where in function seemed to do the trick

PHP Code:

public function get_user_mail() {

//$this->db->where('from_user', $this->session->userdata('username'));
$this->db->or_where('to_user', $this->session->userdata('username'));

$query = $this->db->get('user_mail');

if ($query->num_rows() > 0) {
return $query->result_array();
} else {
return false;
}
} 


There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
