Question

Soooo, I have this function

public function playerslist()
{
    $this->load->database();
    $data = $this->db->get('skaters')->result();
    $this->load->helper('url');
    $this->load->view('playerslist', array('data' => $data));
}

and what I am trying to do use a foreach in my view to return data like so

<?php 
    foreach($data as $row => $value){
        echo $row;
    }
?>

and it just returns 0…I did a

<?php 
    print_r($data);
?> 

and it returned this….

Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( 
    [id] => 1 
    [firstname] => Steve

    [s2010] => 0 
    [s%2010] => 0 
    [fp2010] => 0 
) )

What Am I doing wrong and do I use $data in a foreach?

Answer 1

It should be something like

foreach($data as $key=>$row)
{
    echo $row->firstname;
}

Because $data is an array of rows. So in your version, $row is the index of the row in the array, while $value is the row itself.
