如何在codeigniter中获取用户列表？

Question

I am trying to get list of users from Users table in codeigniter. My problem is that if am using following code than try to print out the result, it's giving me blank array while printing query using last_query() function and running this query in phpmyadmin is giving correct result.

My code in model

$data = $this->db->select('u.*')
                    ->from('users u')
                    ->join('users_groups ug','ug.user_id = u.id')
                    ->join('groups g','g.id = ug.group_id')
                    ->where('g.id',7)
                    ->get()
                    ->result();

this code is giving me blank array then what i did is print the query using following code

echo $this->db->last_query();

and this is what query was

SELECT `u`.* FROM `users` `u` JOIN `users_groups` `ug` ON `ug`.`user_id` = `u`.`id` JOIN `groups` `g` ON `g`.`id` = `ug`.`group_id` WHERE `g`.`id` = 7

which is working fine. but i am trying to print the data using print_r($data) is giving me blank array.

Can anyone tell me what can be the issue ?
