I am new to codeigniter. Currently I am working on a small project as practice and I am trying to display data of two tables on the same web page. I tried to use$this-

Answer 1

ok so first of all your table MUST have relational data to perform a join

return $this->db->select('tblanswers.*,credentials.*')
                      ->join('credentials cred', 'tblanswers.answerid = credentials.cid', 'LEFT')
                      ->get('tblanswers')
                      ->result_object()

so this will perform a query fetching the data from the credentials table where the *answerid field = the cid field

E.G

  SELECT * FROM tblanswers
  JOIN credentials ON credentials.cid = tblanswers.answerid

EDIT

seems like you dont event need to use a join for what you want you could simply go

 return $this->db->select('tblanswers.*,credentials.*')
                ->from('tblanswers, credentials')
                ->get()
                ->result_object();

because it doesnt seem like you have any relational data between the two but for example you could get all questions relating to that awnser by going

return $this->db->select('tblanswers.*,questions.*')
                      ->join('questions AS q', 'tblanswers.questionid = q.question_id', 'LEFT')
                      ->get('tblanswers')
                      ->result_object()
