php returning undefined property - php

Question

In other of not be repetitive, I wrote that getName function to do the duty job for me: the classes querying the database would only send the SQL query:
public function getVolumeServer($id)
{
$str = "SELECT *FROM site_volume_server WHERE site_id='$id'";
return $this->getName($str);
}
public function getName($str)
{
$data = array();
$query = $this->getQuery($str);
if($query){
foreach($query->result() as $row){
array_push($data, $row->name);
}
}
return $data;
}
public function getQuery($str){
$data = array();
$query = $this->db->query($str);
if(!$query || $query->num_rows() == 0){
return false;
}
return $query;
}
However, I'm getting the following error:
<p>Severity: Notice</p>
<p>Message: Undefined property: stdClass::$name</p>
<p>Filename: models/sitematrix_model.php</p>
<p>Line Number: 129</p>
Line 129 is $this->getName($str).
I did not have that before, when that portion of code was embedded in the function, but there are similar functions that only differ by the table being accessed.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks

I am having the same problem except I am trying to access the $agenda->time_from property from __get() which is a time column in agenda table which is retrieved from db properly (I checked the var_dump, ran the query manually in phpMyAdmin).
I do that because the default call parent::_get() won't return the value; it returns NULL instead.
I found a workaround for my problem. All you need to do is to access the value like :
$agenda->_object['time_from']
I guess this is not quite the right solution, but working one.
