Unable to pass variable from one function to another function

This line has several problems:

Code:

$state = ($this->Dealer_data->get_state_from_the_id($id) > 0) ? FALSE : TRUE;

First, get_state_from_the_id() is returning an OBJECT of a result set, since you return $query->result().
So you are saying, if (OBJECT > 0), which will most likely cause an error since you can't compare an INT to an OBJECT like that.

Then, you cast the result as a boolean. So $state will only be TRUE/FALSE, and not hold the state data.
