where condition role.

PHP Code:

$array = array('fname' => $this->session->userdata['logged_in']['fname'], 'role' => 'admin');
$this->db->where($array);
// produces WHERE fname = 'Jamie' AND role = 'admin' 


or

PHP Code:

$this->db->where('fname',$this->session->userdata['logged_in']['fname']);
$this->db->where('role','admin');
// produces WHERE fname = 'Jamie' AND role = 'admin' 


Please see the documentation: CI3|CI2

Hope this is of some help.


Edit: On reflection the get_where() function may be neater to use.

PHP Code:

$query = $this->db->get_where('users', array('fname' => $this->session->userdata['logged_in']['fname'], 'role' => 'admin')); 


An alternative way you could implement this is as follows:

PHP Code:

$query = $this->db->select('fname,role')->get_where('users', array('fname' => $this->session->userdata['logged_in']['fname']));
if($query->num_rows() == 1) {
    // user account exists
    $user = $this->db->row();
    if($user->role == 'admin') {
        // user is admin
    } else {
        // user is not an admin
    }
} else {
    // not logged in
}
