Question

I have this code:

function getBlockName($blockId){
    $block = classContent::findById(conn(), $blockId);
    echo $block->getBname();
}

now if the function outputs something works fine, if it doesn’t output anything I have the

Fatal error: Call to a member function getBname() on a non-object in...

I’m pretty new to php so I couldn’t find a solution on how to handle the error.

Any help would be very much appreciated! 🙂

Most likely it doesn’t return an object if nothing was found.

function getBlockName($blockId){
    $block = classContent::findById(conn(), $blockId);
    if ($block !== false && is_object($block)) {
        echo $block->getBname();
    }
}
