Codeigniter: Select from multiple tables

Question

How can I select rows from two or more tables?

I\'m setting default fields for a form, and I need values from two tables...

My current code reads:

Answer 1

The example in the User Guide should explain this:

$this->db->select('*'); // <-- There is never any reason to write this line!
$this->db->from('blogs');
$this->db->join('comments', 'comments.id = blogs.id');

$query = $this->db->get();

// Produces:
// SELECT * FROM blogs
// JOIN comments ON comments.id = blogs.id

See the whole thing under Active Record page in the User Guide.
