Question

I am using Active Record on CodeIgniter. I am confused on which approach I should take. Currently, our login system let\'s the user to use username/email for the login along

The issue is probably that you need to add brackets when mixing AND’s and OR’s in a WHERE clause. Try this:

$this->db->select('id,level,email,username');
$this->db->where("(email = '$user' OR username = '$user') 
                   AND password = '$pass'");
$query = $this->db->get('users');
