Question

I have the following problem:

public function row2Partner($row){   echo $row->PartnerID; }  public function main(){   $query = 'SELECT PartnerID, PartnerName FROM Partner';   $result = mysql_query($query);   $this->row2Partner(mysql_fetch_object($result)); } 

This gives me the error in row2Partner(): Trying to get property of non-object

But $row is an Object! And if I do echo $row->PartnerID in the main function, it works.

Any ideas?

Thx, Martin

If your result returns more than one row, your object is going to be multi-dimensional. I’m pretty sure you can do something like this if you just want to echo the first one:

public function row2Partner($row){ echo $row[0]->PartnerID; } 

If you are looking for only one result, I would also limit my query to just one…

SELECT PartnerID, PartnerName FROM Partner LIMIT 1 

If you want to echo out all your rows (in the case of multiple) results, you can do this:

public function row2Partner($row){      foreach($row as $result) {         echo $result->PartnerID;      } } 

Hope that helps.

PS Just as a sidenote, I tend to like to use associative arrays when dealing with MySQL results–it just makes more sense to me. In this case, you would just do this instead:

mysql_fetch_assoc($result)
