Unable to pass variable from one function to another function

Hi guys,

Thanks for both of your responses and help.

This is how I corrected the problem.

The below syntax result passes an array (result()) but I put it in a foreach statement and returned it as a single string

Code:

$this->db->select('state');
  $this->db->from('dealers');
  $this->db->where('id',$id);
  $query = $this->db->get();
  
  foreach($query->result() as $row){
   $data = $row->state;
  }
  return $data;

The syntax in my controller. The below single can be converted into a variable because I'm passing a string. I can also pass an array (which I was doing before) but that's where my problem was.

Code:

$state = $this->Dealer_data->get_state_from_the_id($id); // gets the state

On my view

Code:

foreach($simInfo as $getState){
                                      $state = $getState->state;
                                      echo $state;
    }

Thanks for the help everyone
