     *
     * Converts an array to an object.

    {
        if (is_array($data))
        {

             * (Magic constant) for recursive call
             */
            return (object) array_map(__FUNCTION__, $data);
        }
        else
        {
            return $data;
        }

[InsiteFX]

You place the functions in a CI helper say utility_helper

Then load the helper

[arma7x]

OP please learn how to code and debugging properly, it's basic thing. You only post same errors in diferrent scenarios. Have a nice day buddy.

You guys are really patient... I would say that davy_yg is some sort of troll or something spamming all the forum but whatever...

This is a little bit confusing to me.  Why the error appearing?

Because an if statement is not valid in the body of a class. You can only define methods, properties, and constants in a class. An if statement would have to be either inside a method or outside of the class. One option would be to do something like this:

PHP Code:

protected function array_to_object($data)
{
    if (function_exists('array_to_object')) {
         return array_to_object($data);
    }
    // ... your existing array_to_object method here
} 


Note that I've declared the method as protected, because leaving the visibility off of the method declaration is the same as declaring a public method, and public methods in controllers can be routed or accessed via the URL.
