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;
