I’m attempting to use get_where to grab a list of all database records where the owner is equal to the logged in user.
This is my function in my controller;
function files()
{
$owner = $this->auth->get_user();
$this->db->get_where('files', array('owner =' => '$owner'))->result();
}
And in my view I have the following;
<?php foreach($query->result() as $row): ?>
<span><?=$row->name?></span>
<?php endforeach; ?>
When I try accessing the view, I get the error :
Fatal error: Call to a member function result() on a non-object in /views/account/files.php on line 1.
Wondered if anyone had any ideas of what might be up with this?
Thanks
CodeIgniter is a framework based on MVC principles. As a result, you would usually separate application logic, data abstraction and "output" into their respective areas for CodeIgniter use. In this case: controllers, models and views.
Just for reference, you should usually have you "data" code as a model function, in this case the get_where functionality. I highly suggest you read through the provided User Guide to get to grips with CodeIgniter, it should hold your hand through most steps. See: Table of Contents (top right).
TL;DR
To solve your problem you need to make sure that you pass controller variables through to your view:
function files()
{
$owner = $this->auth->get_user();
$data['files'] = $this->db->get_where('files', array('owner =' => '$owner'))->result();
$this->load->view('name_of_my_view', $data);
}
And then make sure to use the correct variable in your view:
<?php foreach($files as $row): ?>
<span><?=$row['name']; ?></span>
<?php endforeach; ?>
