Issue passing data from an array to another array in codeigniter - php

Question

i have a problem on passing data result to another data request in a controller in codeigniter is there something i'm missing ?
Controller method :
public function index()
{
//sending $data array of variables to view's or to model's
$data = array('header_title' => 'Nova Democracia - Eleições 2019 - Menu');
$data['formData'] = $this->Crud_model->getProvinciaAndLocal($this->session->id_local);
$data['locais'] = $this->Crud_model->getLocaisByIdLocal($formData["id_distrito"]);
$this->load->view("form_menu/form_menu.php", $data);
}
and my model methods :
function getProvinciaAndLocal($id_local){
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT `nome_local`, `nome_provincia`, tb_local.id_distrito
FROM `tb_user`
INNER JOIN `tb_local`
ON tb_user.id_local = tb_local.id_local
INNER JOIN `tb_distrito`
ON tb_local.id_distrito = tb_distrito.id_distrito
INNER JOIN `tb_provincia`
ON tb_distrito.id_provincia = tb_provincia.id_provincia
WHERE tb_user.id_local = '".$id_local."' ");
$row = $query->row();
$obj = array(
'nome_provincia' => $row->nome_provincia,
'nome_local' => $row->nome_local,
'id_distrito' => $row->id_distrito
);
return $obj;
}
function getLocaisByIdLocal($id_distrito){
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT tb_local.id_local, `nome_local`
FROM `tb_user`
INNER JOIN `tb_local`
ON tb_user.id_local = tb_local.id_local
INNER JOIN `tb_distrito`
ON tb_local.id_distrito = tb_distrito.id_distrito
INNER JOIN `tb_provincia`
ON tb_distrito.id_provincia = tb_provincia.id_provincia
WHERE tb_local.id_distrito = '".$id_distrito."' ");
$row = $query->row();
$obj = array(
'id_local' => $row->id_local,
'nome_local' => $row->nome_local,
);
return $obj;
}
Is there something im doing wrong? Because when i use $formData["nome_provincia"] in the view it works well..

Answer 1

Change your controller like this.
public function index()
{
//sending $data array of variables to view's or to model's
$data = array('header_title' => 'Nova Democracia - Eleições 2019 - Menu');
$data['formData'] = $this->Crud_model->getProvinciaAndLocal($this->session->id_local);
$data['locais'] = $this->Crud_model->getLocaisByIdLocal($data['formData']["id_distrito"]); // Notice the change here
$this->load->view("form_menu/form_menu.php", $data);
}
