Question

I have a controller that pulls data from a model function and stores the data in an array:

    $row = $this->model_catalog_manufacturer->getAllManufacturers();

    $this->data['manufacturer']= array(
        'manufacturer_id'    => $row['manufacturer_id'],
        'name'   => $row['name'],
        'image'       => $row['image']
    );  

The view simply take the array and iterates the values using a foreach loop and list items. The list items are appearing but not the text value of the array:

<ul>
<?php foreach ($manufacturer as $manuf) {?>
<li><?php echo $manuf['name'];?></li>
<?php }?>
</ul>

Any ideas why?

Answer 1

instead of

$row = $this->model_catalog_manufacturer->getAllManufacturers();

    $this->data['manufacturer']= array(
        'manufacturer_id'    => $row['manufacturer_id'],
        'name'   => $row['name'],
        'image'       => $row['image']
    );  

could you try

$rows = $this->model_catalog_manufacturer->getAllManufacturers();
foreach($rows as $row){
    $this->data['manufacturer'][]= array(
        'manufacturer_id'    => $row['manufacturer_id'],
        'name'   => $row['name'],
        'image'       => $row['image']
    );
}
