  $cheeses should be an array already. Is the following not working for you?
  $cheeses = fuel_model('cheeses'); $chunks = array_chunk($cheeses);

  Hi,
  For some reason it doesn't work:
  $cheeses = array_chunk($cheeses);
  gives me blank screen.
  
  Even if I try: print_r($cheeses) I get blank screen.
  
  If I try this:
  $x[0] = array('name'=>'Bob', 'age'=>10);
  $x[1] = array('name'=>'Brad', 'age'=>20);
  $x[2] = array('name'=>'Gill', 'age'=>30);
  $x[3] = array('name'=>'Steve', 'age'=>40);
  $x = array_chunk($x, 3);
  print_r($x);
  
  It works, but with print_r($cheeses) or even var_dump($cheeses), I get blank screen.
  foreach on $cheeses, works though.

  The model records have a reference to the $CI object in it which causes a recursive loop when printed out to the screen and may explain your blank screen. Does echo count($cheeses); display anything?

  Yes, it echos the number. So how do I use array_chunk with $cheeses?

  Is this line the one causing the blank screen:
  $cheeses = array_chunk($cheeses);
  Or is it a different line? If you are able to get a count value then it sounds like it's an array value that could call array_chunk. Is the error further down?

  Hi,
  This is what I tried:
  $x = array_chunk($cheeses, 3);
  
  1.
  foreach($x as $y) {
  echo $y->cheese_name;
  }
  I get this error on the echo line:
  Message: Trying to get property of non-object
  
  2.
  foreach($x as $y) {
  print_r($y);
  }
  
  I get a white page.
  
  3.
  print_r($x);
  
  I get a white page.

  array_chunk creates nested arrays so you'll need another foreach loop.
