I hope this helps someone with a similar need. I was populating a drop
down list in a template with content from a table called "usapages," but
wanted to have a more specific query that would limit the data grabbed
from this table.
I was using the following line in my _new function in the controller:
$page_id_options = $db->distinct_values( "usapages", "link" );
but I wanted to limit the values from the "usapages" table by using a
custom MySQL query. So I replaced the above line with this:
$page_id_options_x = mysql_query("SELECT page_id,menu_title from
usapages WHERE level='1' and visibility='public'");
while ($result=mysql_fetch_array($page_id_options_x, MYSQL_NUM)) {
$page_id_options[$result[0]] = $result[1]; }
