Conditional based on result_array() - php

Question

I'm using codeigniter, and i want to make a conditional based on return value from model.
here is the model:
public function get_sentitems()
{
$query = $this->db->get('sentitems');
return $query->result_array();
}
and here is the controller:
public function sentitems()
{
$data['sentitems'] = $this->sms_model->get_sentitems();
if($data['sentitems']['Status'] === 'SendingOKNoReport')
{
$data['status_message'] = 'Sent';
}
else
{
$data['status_message'] = 'Failed';
}
$data['title'] = ucwords('sent items');
$this->load->view('templates/header', $data);
$this->load->view('sms/sentitems', $data);
$this->load->view('templates/footer');
}
And here is the view
<h2><?php echo $title; ?></h2>
<table border="1" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>No.</th>
<th>Tujuan</th>
<th>Waktu</th>
<th>Isi</th>
<th>Ket.</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php foreach ($sentitems as $sentitems_item): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $sentitems_item['ID']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $sentitems_item['DestinationNumber']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $sentitems_item['SendingDateTime']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $sentitems_item['TextDecoded']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $sentitems_item['Status']; ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach ?>
</tbody>
</table>
I have a column Status, but why the result in browser is always like this:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: Status
Filename: controllers/sms.php
Line Number: 62
What is the solution? Sorry for my bad English.

Answer 1

The issue is that in your controller $data['sentitems'] contains an array of results from your database, so you cannot get at it with $data['sentitems']['Status']. What you actually have is
$data['sentitems'][0]['Status']
$data['sentitems'][1]['Status']
$data['sentitems'][2]['Status']
and so on.
I think your best option at this point is to remove the following from your controller:
if($data['sentitems']['Status'] === 'SendingOKNoReport')
{
$data['status_message'] = 'Sent';
}
else
{
$data['status_message'] = 'Failed';
}
and amend the line of your template that outputs the status to:
<td><?php echo $sentitems_item['Status'] == 'SendingOKNoReport' ? 'Sent' : 'Failed'; ?></td>
