Trying to get property of non-object - El Forum - 04-24-2011

I'm sure this is something trivial but I've spent the last hour scratching my head on this one!
I have several functions in my Model that all look like this (that find various things):
Code:
function getNPCName($npc)
{
$this->db->select('name')->from('npcs')->where('name', $npc)->limit(1);
$query = $this->db->get();
$row = $query->row();
return $row->name;
}Then in my controller they are put in the view like this:
Code:
function getNPCData($npc)
{
$npcDialogue = $this->NPCModel->getNPCDialogue($npc);
$npcQuestDialogue = $this->NPCModel->getNPCQuestDialogue($npc);
$npcNoQuestDialogue = $this->NPCModel->getNPCNoQuestDialogue($npc);
$npcQuestCompleteDialogue = $this->NPCModel->getNPCQuestCompleteDialogue($npc);
$npcName = $this->NPCModel->getNPCName($npc);
$npcQuest = $this->NPCModel->getNPCQuest($npc);
$npcData = array(
'npcDialogue' => $npcDialogue,
'npcQuestDialogue' => $npcQuestDialogue,
'npcNoQuestDialogue' => $npcNoQuestDialogue,
'npcQuestCompleteDialogue' => $npcQuestCompleteDialogue,
'npcName' => $npcName,
'npcQuest' => $npcQuest
);
$statData = $this->PlayerModel->createPlayerInfoArray();
$this->load->view('game/statpanelView',$statData);
$this->load->view('game/npcView', $npcData);
}The function is called from a different view (the game view) like this:
Code:
foreach ($listnpcs as $value)
{
echo anchor('npc/getNPCData/' . $value['name'], $value['name']). "<br>";
}Finally, the npc view looks like this:
Code:
echo "<b>" . $npcName . "</b><br><br>";
echo "<b>" . $npcDialogue . "</b><br><br>";So if my NPC is called "Bob the Scrapyard Man"; my "getNPCData()" function is called with the $npc parameter set as "Bob the Scrapyard Man". This means that the model functions are called to find the various data for Bob. However, when the npc view is loaded I get the error "Trying to get property of non-object" for every method in the controller!
Bob the Scrapyard Man is definitely in my npc table and all the other fields have data assigned. I tried calling $row = $query->result() but got the same error.
Any ideas? I'm sure this is something simple I've missed.
Thanks in advance!

Did you load the database and your model?

Yup. The wierd thing is that I have a very similar function in a different model which works completely fine. The constructor for both Models are identical:
Code:
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library(array("session", "form_validation"));
$this->load->helper(array('url'));
$this->load->model('NPCModel', '', TRUE);
$this->load->model('PlayerModel', '', TRUE);
}The db is loaded automatically and works fine on my other pages...

I would run the CI Profiler to see what is going on, you could also changing the logging in appliication/config/config.php to like 4 and turn logging on to also see whats going on.

I'm reasonably new to CI. How do I go about turning on and using the profiler?

After running the profiler I spotted the error. The spaces in the name were being turned into 's. I cleaned this up with the str_replace php function.
Thanks for your help.
