This is a subquery library for CodeIgniter's active record class. It lets you use active record methods to create subqueries in SQL queries. It supports SELECT, JOIN, FROM (and other statements, I guess). It also supports subqueries inside subqueries.

Example 1 (SELECT):

SELECT `word`, (SELECT `number` FROM (`numbers`) WHERE `numberID` = 2) AS number FROM (`words`) WHERE `wordID` = 3
$this->db->select('word')->from('words')->where('wordID', 3);
$sub = $this->subquery->start_subquery('select');
$sub->select('number')->from('numbers')->where('numberID', 2);
$this->subquery->end_subquery('number');

Example 2 (FROM):

SELECT `test`, `test2` FROM ((SELECT 3 AS test) AS testing, (SELECT 4 AS test2) AS testing2)
$this->db->select('test');
$sub = $this->subquery->start_subquery('from');
$sub->select('3 AS test', false);
$this->subquery->end_subquery('testing');
$this->db->select('test2');
$sub = $this->subquery->start_subquery('from');
$sub->select('4 AS test2', false);
$this->subquery->end_subquery('testing2');
