Solution

  • $this->db->query() doesn't store a query string for later use. It actually executes the query right away and return an object of CI_DB_mysql_result. You should build the query string before you call $this->db->query() and store it into a variable, then pass it into the method.

    $sql = "SELECT * FROM `d_book` ";
    $searches = array();
    if ($publish != 'choose')
    {
        $searches[] = "`bo_pub_id` = '__some_id__'";
    }
    
    if ($author != 'choose')
    {
        $searches[] = "`bo_au_id` = '__some_id__'";
    }
    
    if ($sec_name != 'choose')
    {
        $searches[] = "`bo_sec_id` = '__some_id__'";
    }
    
    if (count($searches) > 0) 
    {
        $sql .= "WHERE " . implode(" AND ", $searches);
    }
    
    $sql .= ';';
    $this->db->query($sql);
