Question

I’ve got an stdClass coming from my database :

$query = $this->db->get('news');

if(isset($options['id']) || $options['limit'] == 1)
    return $query->row(0);

And I would like to pass it to my variable :

$data['news'] = $this->front_model->getNews($spec);

so that I can get to any property simply by doing $data['news']->id

but I get this message error:

Message: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string

why?

Answer 1

Instead of

return $query->row(0);

Use this

return $query->row_array(0);

It will already fetch the result in array form

http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/database/results.html

first remove the 0 from $query->row() because it only fetches single record. then print_r($data) to see what is coming

Also do this

$news = $this->front_model->getNews($spec);

instead of

$data['news'] = $this->front_model->getNews($spec);

Now you are able to call it like this

echo $news->id;
