Grab DB values and display For Each - Codeigniter - php

Question

Having a bit of trouble getting my For Each function to display all the values from a DB into a view. Where am I going wrong? Not a back-end pro, nor did I write it. Database table is extremely simple, one column named id. I want to display each of the rows in my for each.
I have a custom MY_Controller.php file and in the _construct I have this, which fills in variables globally across the site.
$this->country_zones = $this->Studios_model->get_studios();
Model:
function get_studios()
{
//this will alphabetize them
$this->db->order_by('id', 'ASC');
$query = $this->db->get('gc_studio_zones');
foreach ($query->result() as $row)
{
$countries = $row->id;
}
return $countries;
}
In my view:
<?php foreach($this->$country_zones as $country):?>
<li><?php echo $country['countries']->id;?></li>
<?php endforeach;?>
Error:
Cannot access empty property...etc

I think you have a typo in your view regarding your loop variable, it should be this->country_zones:
<?php foreach($this->country_zones as $country):?>
<li><?php echo $country->id;?></a></li>
<?php endforeach;?>
Besides, your Model isn't returning an array, but only the last id. You need to push the values to your result array:
function get_studios()
{
//this will alphabetize them
$this->db->order_by('id', 'ASC');
$query = $this->db->get('gc_studio_zones');
$countries = array();
foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
$countries[] = $row;
}
return $countries;
}
