 To find a single record where the `name` column has the value "Fred Bloggs":
 
-    ORM::for_table('person')->where('name', 'Fred Bloggs')->find_one();
+    $person = ORM::for_table('person')->where('name', 'Fred Bloggs')->find_one();
 
 This roughly translates into the following SQL: `SELECT * FROM person WHERE name = "Fred Bloggs"`
 
 To find a single record by ID, you can pass the ID directly to the `find_one` method:
 
-    ORM::for_table('person')->find_one(5);
+    $person = ORM::for_table('person')->find_one(5);

 The `limit` and `offset` methods map pretty closely to their SQL equivalents.

 #### ORDER BY ####
 
 Two methods are provided to add `ORDER BY` clauses to your query. These are `order_by_desc` and `order_by_asc`, each of which takes a column name to sort by.
 
-    ORM::for_table('person')->order_by_asc('gender')->order_by_desc('name')->find_many();
+    $people = ORM::for_table('person')->order_by_asc('gender')->order_by_desc('name')->find_many();
 
 #### Raw queries ####
 
 If you need to perform more complex queries, you can completely specify the query to execute by using the `raw_query` method. This method takes a string and an array of parameters. The string should contain placeholders, either in question mark or named placeholder syntax, which will be used to bind the parameters to the query.
 
-    ORM::for_table('person')->raw_query('SELECT p.* FROM person p JOIN role r ON p.role_id = r.id WHERE r.name = :role', array('role' => 'janitor')->find_many();
+    $people = ORM::for_table('person')->raw_query('SELECT p.* FROM person p JOIN role r ON p.role_id = r.id WHERE r.name = :role', array('role' => 'janitor')->find_many();
 
 The ORM class instance(s) returned will contain data for all the columns returned by the query. Note that you still must call `for_table` to bind the instances to a particular table, even though there is nothing to stop you from specifying a completely different table in the query. This is because if you wish to later called `save`, the ORM will need to know which table to update.
