If the query is non-empty, you should have no problem in fetching the 
results with the standard mysql functions.  Why were you even bothering 
with mysqli?  Look for mysql_query, mysql_fetch_assoc, and 
mysql_fetch_array in www.php.net.  They are all you need.

What I regularly use most is:

$theArray = array();
$result = mysql_query("The query text");
if (FALSE !== $result) {
   while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) {
     $theArray[] = $row;
   }
}

if (count($theArray)) {
   .....
}


You could even put the query into your database class as a 
getArray($query) method.
