Hi guys

What is the difference between the two?

Code:

return $query->result();

vs.

Code:

return $this->db->get('user')->row_array();

also is result() and row_array() are PHP funtions? or CodeIgniter built-in method?

where i can find the description of these two methods?

Thanks in advanced.

Look in the active record user guide, I think that's where they're documented. query->result() returns an object and row_array() returns a single row as an array.

There's a lot of ways to access the result set.

A good read of the docs helps, but experimenting is even better. I was a little confused for a start as well.
