I have code like this:

$this->db->select('title')->from('entries')->where('id', 1);
$query = $this->db->get();
echo $query->row('title');

Which echoes the title from the entries table where the id is equal to 1.

Why doesn't it work without the 'title in row function?

echo $query->row();

As it returns the first row?

Why do I have to have 'title' in both places ($query->row and $this->db->select), in order for this to work? It doesn't make sense to me.

Can anybody explain how this works, supposedly provide with alternative ways to get the value from the database?
