This code segment for your Model    function getCount  tblName        query    this- gt db- gt get  tblName        rowCount    query- gt num rows        return  rowCount             This is for controlr    public function index          data  employeeCount     this- gt CMS model- gt getCount  employee         this- gt load- gt view  hrdept main   data       This is for view    lt div class  count  gt     lt  php echo  employeeCount    gt                                                                                                lt  div gt    This code is used in my project and is working properly

If you only need the number of rows in a query and don t need the actual row data  use count all results  echo  this- gt db        - gt where  active  1         - gt count all results  table name

Have a look at the result functions here    this- gt db- gt from  yourtable         more active record code       query    this- gt db- gt get     rowcount    query- gt num rows

This goes to you model   public function count news by category  cat        return  this- gt db         - gt where  category    cat          - gt where  is enabled   1          - gt count all results  news        It a an example from my current project   According to benchmarking this query works faster than if you do the following    this- gt db- gt select     - gt from  news  - gt where         q    this- gt db- gt get     return  q- gt num rows

You can do this in two different ways     1   this- gt db- gt query      execute the query       query    this- gt db- gt get      get query result       count    query- gt num rows     get current query record     2    this- gt db- gt query      execute the query        query    this- gt db- gt get      get query result        count   count  query- gt results               or   count  query- gt row array       get current query record
