Why can't I access return value of db->get properly?

[eluser]inktri[/eluser]
sql table: users

user controller, within index() function, :

Code:

$data['query'] = $this->db->get('users');
$this->load->view('user_view', $data);

user view:

<?php foreach($query->result() as $user): ?>
<pre>&lt;?php $user->username ?&gt;</pre>
&lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;

yields nothing

but

Code:

<?php foreach($query->result() as $user): ?>
<pre>&lt;?php var_dump($user) ?&gt;</pre>
&lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;

shows

Code:

object(stdClass)#13 (8) {
  ["id"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["username"]=>
  string(6) "inktri"
  ["password"]=>
  string(32) "eba3cbb6f3b8265ee302e2339fc83dbc"
  ["birthday"]=>
  string(10) "2006-05-00"
  ["gender"]=>
  string(1) "m"
  ["city_id"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["pic"]=>
  string(1) "1"
}

Why can't I access the username with $user->username?

thanks for the help

Missing 'echo' or similar. Try:

Code:

<pre>&lt;?php echo $user->username ?&gt;</pre>

or

Code:

<pre>&lt;?= $user->username ?&gt;</pre>
