Unable to retrieve status count after passing Mysql query - php

Question

Currently I'm using CodeIgniter to retrieve my data in a particular timeframe. All these entries have a status. I am trying to get a count of all the data that are present in the particular time frame. Currently this is my model class where I have the following entry to return all the entries in a particular date range:
public function get_records($st_date,$end_date){
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from('crm_listings');
$this->db->where('cast(added_date as date) BETWEEN "' . $st_date . '" AND "' . $end_date . '" AND status= "D"');
return $this->db->count_all_results();
}
And my controller class:
<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
class Testcontroller extends CI_Controller
{
public function index()
{
$this->load->view('crm/test');
}
function fetch_status(){
$output ='';
$startDate = '';
$endDate = '';
$this->load->model('crm/user_model');
if($this->input->post('startDate')){
$startDate = $this->input->post('startDate');
}
if($this->input->post('endDate')){
$endDate = $this->input->post('endDate');
}
$data = $this->user_model->get_records($startDate,$endDate);
$output .= '
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table table-bordered table-striped">
<tr>
<th>Draft</th>
</tr>
';
if($data->num_rows() > 0)
{
$output .= '
<tr>
<td>'.$data.'</td>
</tr>
';
}
else
{
$output .= '<tr>
<td colspan="7">No Data Found</td>
</tr>';
}
$output .= '</table>';
echo $output;
}
}
?>
So as of now when I comment everything in my controller class after $data and just make a statement echo $data; I get the output I want. But when I'm wrapping it around <td>'.$data.'</td>, it doesn't give an output.

Edit your function at line echo $this->db->count_all_results();
function get_records($st_date,$end_date){
echo $this->db->count_all_results();// change this code
// to
return $this->db->get();
}
for make sure there is any data, try to print_r($data) after you call that method/function
$data = $this->user_model->get_records($startDate,$endDate);
print_r($data) // check data
