Message: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array - Knutsford - 11-23-2020

Code:
I have this in the view

{foreach from=$menus.Licensees item=this_licen name=licensees}

                                {if $this_licen.FranchiseeID <> $this_licen.PreviousFranchiseeID}

                                {if $smarty.foreach.licensees.first}

                                    {else}

                                    </select>

                                    {/if}

                                {if $vars.Franchisee == $this_licen.FranchiseeID}

                                {literal}

                                    <script type="text/javascript">

{/foreach}

I am getting <p>Message: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array</p>

I have this in my controller

$query = "

Code:
                    SELECT        *

Code:
                    FROM        Users

Code:
                    WHERE        Type = 'Licensee'

Code:
                    AND            Status = 'Active'

Code:
                    ORDER BY    FranchiseeID";

Code:
            $menus["Licensees"]=array();

Code:
            $prev_id = 0;

Code:
            $total_licensees_elements = 0;

Code:
            if($result=$this->db->query($query)){

Code:
                if($result->num_rows() > 0) {

Code:
                    while ($row = $result->unbuffered_row()){

Code:
                        if($row->FranchiseeID <> $prev_id){

Code:
                            $total_licensees_elements++;

Code:
                        }

Code:
                        $row->PreviousFranchiseeID = $prev_id;

Code:
                        $menus["Licensees"][]=$row;

Code:
                        $prev_id = $row->FranchiseeID;

Code:
                    }

Code:
                }

Code:
            }

How do I get $menus["Licensees"] in the right format please

Thanks

Because you are trying to assign an object to an array.

I use these to helper when I need to convert one to the other.

PHP Code:
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------

if ( ! function_exists('objectToArray'))
{
    /**
     * objectToArray ()
     * -------------------------------------------------------------------
     *
     * @param  $data
     * @return array
     */
    function objectToArray(object $data) : array
    {
        if (is_object($data))
        {
            /**
             * Gets the properties of the given object
             * with get_object_vars function
             */
            $data = get_object_vars($data);
        }

        /**
         * Return array converted to object Using __FUNCTION__ (Magic constant)
         * for recursive call
         */
        return (is_array($data)) ? array_map(__FUNCTION__, $data) : $data;
    }
}

// -----------------------------------------------------------------------

if ( ! function_exists('arrayToObject'))
{
    /**
     * arrayToObject ()
     * -------------------------------------------------------------------
     *
     * @param  $data
     * @return object
     */
    function arrayToObject(array $data) : object
    {
        /**
         * Return array converted to object Using __FUNCTION__ (Magic constant)
         * for recursive call
         */
        return (is_array($data)) ? (object) array_map(__FUNCTION__, $data) : $data;
    }
} 

Place these in one of your helpers and load it.

Yep I know Sad

So I jsut need to wrap objectToArray() around $row then when I assign it and it will work? That was where I was stuck. Thanks

RE: Message: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array - Knutsford - 11-24-2020

I have changed it to

$menus["Licensees"][]=objectToArray($row);

But I am now getting

Message: Argument 1 passed to objectToArray() must be an object, string given?

RE: Message: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array - InsiteFX - 11-24-2020

Your using twig templates so not really sure how twig is doing it but the foreach is nothing like CodeIgniters.

you can use this helper to see what your object is looking like, if it's a CodeIgniter database returned object
then it will be an object in an object.

PHP Code:
<?php

 * I named mine - debug_helper.php

 */
if ( ! function_exists('varDebug'))
{
    /**

     */
    function varDebug()
    {
        list($callee) = debug_backtrace();

        $arguments = func_get_args();

        $total_arguments = func_num_args();

        echo '<div><fieldset style="background: #fefefe !important; border:1px red solid; padding:15px">';
        echo '<legend style="background:lightgrey; padding:5px;">'.$callee['file'].' @line: '.
             $callee['line'].'</legend><pre><code>';

        $i = 0;
        foreach ($arguments as $argument) {
            echo '<strong>Debug #'.++$i.' of '.$total_arguments.'</strong>: '.'<br>';
            var_dump($argument);
        }

        echo "</code></pre></fieldset><div><br>";

        exit;
    }
}

Pass in your object that is giving you an error and this will give you a formatted output of it.
