CodeIgniter: return & display multiple rows from DB - php

Question

Maybe due to lack of sleep I have some problems with my logic.
In CodeIgniter, I need to get the last 10 posts from the DB and display them on the page.
My Controller is as follows:
public function index() {
// $data is an array containing some useless stuff like title, etc.
// Never mind.
// Skipped header & navbar view loaders;
$this->load->view('blog_page', $data);
$this->get_latest_posts(1);
}
Now the model goes:
public function get_latest_posts($i) {
// $i is a number of posts to be displayed. Now it is 10
$query = $this->db->get('posts', $i);
return $query->result();
// Any clue what to do here, cause I need an array that contains arrays of post rows;
}
I've been trying to do a foreach cycle, but it only works when using one row;
I would appreciate your help, guys!
Every answer will have a positive impact on the life of every kitten on a planet.
P.S. I removed any unnecessary stuff from my code, like loading header&footer views.

Answer 1

controller function
public function index() {
// $data is an array containing some useless stuff like title, etc.
// Never mind.
// Skipped header & navbar view loaders;
$this->load->view('blog_page', $data);
$data['get_latest_post'] = $this->your model name->get_latest_posts(1);
$this->load->view('your view file name',$data);
}
model function
public function get_latest_posts($i) {
$query = $this->db->get('posts', $i);
$this->db->limit(10);
}
is this fine..
