Get data from array - php

Question

Hello I am new to codeigniter framework, and I need help do get some data from array that is forwarded to my view.
In my controller's method I was load model who returns me data array from db, and than I pass that data to my view, and that looks like this:
function deleteAccount($data){
$this->load->model('model_admin');
$dataFromModel = array();
if($query = $this->model_admin->retrieveAccount ($data)){
$dataFromModel['records'] = $query;
$this->load->view('admin/test',$dataFromModel);
} else {
echo "No data was returned";
}
}
and in my view i manage to retrieve that data and to echo it like this:
<?php
echo "TEST page<br/>";
if(isset($records)) {
foreach ($records as $row) {
echo $row->username;
}
} else {
echo "No data";
}
?>
But I am certain that if I retrieve data from db it is either one line or no lines at all, so in my view page i would like to echo that data without foreach loop on some way, for example like this:
echo $records->username;
or:
echo $records[0]; //because it is the first argument in line
but in both ways it throws an error :
1 - first case: Trying to get property of non-object
2 - second case: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string
This is my model:
function retrieveAccount($data){
$query = $this->db->get_where('table_users', array('username' => $data[2]));
return $query->result(); }
Can someone help me, and show me how to retrieve that data.

If you want to use $records->username this means $records must contain only one value. In this case instead of using $query->result(), use $query->row() in your model code.
You cannot echo stdClass object. $records[0] is stdClass object thus Php is giving this error. Instead this would work
echo $records[0]->username
