Body
I have three tables: 'users', 'products', and 'product_types'. The 'users' table stores all usual data about my site users (including an <code>id</code> column); the 'products' table lists the <code>product_id</code> of the product, the <code>user_id</code> of the user who added it, and the <code>product_type</code>; the 'product_types' table has an <code>id</code> column (which corresponds with the <code>product_type</code> int value in the 'products' table), and a varchar <code>name</code> column. I want to perform a <code>%like%</code> search in the 'users' table so that when a user searches for product types, it shows all users who have products that match the searched product type. Here's what I'm currently using in my CodeIgniter model: <pre><code>$string = urldecode($string); $this->db->select('users.*'); $this->db->from('users'); $this->db->like('users.company_name',$string,'both'); $this->db->or_like('users.address_1',$string,'both'); $this->db->or_like('users.city',$string,'both'); $this->db->or_like('users.contact',$string,'both'); $this->db->or_like('product_types.name',$string,'both'); $this->db->join('products','users.id = products.client_id'); $this->db->join('product_types','products.product_type = product_types.id'); $this->db->distinct(); $users = $this->db->get(); foreach($users->result() as $user){ // search result } </code></pre> I then feed this into a foreach statement... But it's only showing the first row most of the time - other times it comes back with no results. Can anybody tell me where I'm going wrong?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
