-Custom Function Calls
-#####################
-
-$this->db->call_function();
-============================
-
-This function enables you to call PHP database functions that are not
-natively included in CodeIgniter, in a platform independent manner. For
-example, let's say you want to call the mysql_get_client_info()
-function, which is **not** natively supported by CodeIgniter. You could
-do so like this::
-
- $this->db->call_function('get_client_info');
-
-You must supply the name of the function, **without** the mysql\_
-prefix, in the first parameter. The prefix is added automatically based
-on which database driver is currently being used. This permits you to
-run the same function on different database platforms. Obviously not all
-function calls are identical between platforms, so there are limits to
-how useful this function can be in terms of portability.
-
-Any parameters needed by the function you are calling will be added to
-the second parameter.
-
-::
-
- $this->db->call_function('some_function', $param1, $param2, etc..);
-
-Often, you will either need to supply a database connection ID or a
-database result ID. The connection ID can be accessed using::
-
- $this->db->conn_id;
-
-The result ID can be accessed from within your result object, like this::
-
- $query = $this->db->query("SOME QUERY");
-
- $query->result_id; \ No newline at end of file
