PHP Error: Trying to get property of non-object - php

Question

I am working in CodeIgniter framework and I have tried to apply all the other solutions I found on stack but I could not make it work so here is my problem...
I am trying to retrieve a record from MySQL database table called 'questions' based on uri segment. Then I am trying to display this record in a view. As far as I can tell, the uri segment is passed along everywhere it needs to be, and record is retrieved from database.
The problem comes up when I am trying to access the data from the controller, in my view.
Error I am getting for each echo in my loop in 'view_thread_view' is
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Trying to get property of non-object
Filename: views/view_thread_view.php
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my code:
Controller thread
function view_thread()
{
$quest = $this->uri->segment(3);
echo $quest;// for checking if uri segment is passed
if($query = $this->data_model->get_thread($quest))
{
$data['records'] = $query;
}
$this->load->view('view_thread_view', $data);
Model data_model
public function get_thread($quest)
{
if($q = $this->db->get_where('questions' , 'qid' , $quest));
{
return $q;
}
}
View view_thread_view
<div title="question_view">
<h1>Question View<h1>
<?php foreach($records as $data) : ?>
<div>
<h2>Title</h2>
<?php
echo $data->title;
?>
</div>
<div>
<h2>Question</h2>
<?php
echo $data->contents
?>
</div>
<div>
<h2>Tags</h2>
<?php
echo $data->tags
?>
</div>
<div>
Thread owner
<?php
echo $records->uname
?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
EDIT: QUESTION ANSWERED
Thanks to Girish Jangid fixed the problem this is the working code:
Controller
function view_thread()
{
$quest = $this->uri->segment(3);
echo $quest;// for checking if uri segment is passed
//$data = array();
if($query = $this->data_model->get_thread($quest))
{
$data['records'] = $query;
}
$this->load->view('view_thread_view', $data);
}
Model
public function get_thread($quest)
{
if($q = $this->db->get_where('questions' , array('qid' => $quest)));
{
return $q;
}
}
View
<div title="question_view">
<h1>Question View<h1>
<?php foreach($records->result() as $data) : ?>
<div>

<div>
<h2>Question</h2>

Thread owner
<?php
echo $data->uname

</div>

Answer 1

You should user db function to fetch results, please use CodeIgniter db Query Results functions, like this
if($records->num_rows() > 0){
foreach($records->result() as $data){
if(isset($data->title)) echo $data->title;
}
}
For more detail please read CodeIgniter Query Result function
Query Results
Try this code
<div title="question_view">
<h1>Question View<h1>
<?php if($records->num_rows() > 0) { ?>
<?php foreach($records->result() as $data) : ?>
<div>
<h2>Title</h2>
<?php
echo $data->title;
?>
</div>
<div>
<h2>Question</h2>
<?php
echo $data->contents
?>
</div>
<div>
<h2>Tags</h2>
<?php
echo $data->tags
?>
</div>
<div>
Thread owner
<?php
echo $records->uname
?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>

Answer 2

$records is an array, not an object, therefore you cannot do $records->uname. You probably meant $data there too.
Edit: On second look, it appears $data is an array as well! Arrays are accessed via ['key'] not ->key
Also, your code is way over complicated.
<?php
foreach($records as $data){
$string = <<<STR
<div>
<h2>Title</h2>
{$data['title']}
</div>
...etc
STR;
echo $string;
}
