        $query = $this->db->select(\'date,name,type\')->from(\'books

You can do it in following way,

function get_data($year, $month) {

    $query = $this->db->select('date,name,type')->from('books')->like('date', "$year-$month", 'after')->get();
    $data = array();
    $data1 = array();
    $data2 = array();


    foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
        if ($row->name == 'AA' && $row->type == 'AM') {
            $data[substr($row->date, 8, 2)] = '
' . $row->name . ' ' . $row->type . '
';
        } else if ($row->name == 'AA' && $row->type == 'PM') {
            $data1[substr($row->date, 8, 2)] = '
' . $row->name . ' ' . $row->type . '
';
        } else if ($row->name == 'BB' && $row->type == 'AM') {
            $data2[substr($row->date, 8, 2)] = '
' . $row->name . ' ' . $row->type . '
';
        } 
    }
$return['data']=$data;
$return['data1']=$data1;
$return['data2']=$data2;
    return $data;
}

you can acces in view as varible,

$data['index'], $data1['index'], $data2['index']

if you want to merge them then,

array_merge($data,$data1,$data2);
