Using Objects in Views

[eluser]ChrisMcABZ[/eluser]
Hi there. Forgive me if this has been covered already; I tried searching, but couldn't find what I was looking for.

I'm starting to roll my first CI application using 1.6.0 - it's a simple CMS for my personal site. What I would like to do is this (code shortened for berevity):

(model)

Code:

public function GetBySlug($slug='')
{
    $entry['slug'] = $slug;
        
    return $this->db->get_where('entries', $entry)->result();
}

(controller)

Code:

$data['entry'] = $this->Entry->GetBySlug($slug);
$this->load->view('entry', $data['entry']);

(view)

Code:

<h1>&lt;?= $entry->title; ?&gt;</h1>

But with this code I just get an error. If I write this instead -

Code:

<h1>&lt;?= $entry[0]->title; ?&gt;</h1>

or use a loop, it works, but that seems a waste for what will always be a single result - and it's not as pretty . Am I missing something (probably something very basic!)? Or do I have to give up my objects in views and start passing result_array() instead?

Thanks in advance, CI Bods!

Code:

->result()

always returns an array or objects
maybe try

Code:

return reset($this->db->get_where('entries', $entry)->result());

Hi ChrisMcABZ

in model write like this

$this->db->get_where('entries', $entry)->row();

In view

$entry->title;
