retrieving and showing data

Hello,

I am trying to show data in here but have not been successful yet.


controllers/cpages.php

PHP Code:

public function pcategories() { 
    
        $this->Mpages->retrieve_parentctg();

        $data['ctgparent_name'] = $this->Mpages->retrieve_parentctg();
        $data['ctgparent_description'] = $this->Mpages->retrieve_parentctg();
        
        $this->load->view('pcategories', $data); 
        
    } 


views/pcategories.php

PHP Code:

<div class="widget-box">
                        <div class="widget-title"><h5>Parent Categories</h5></div>
                        <div class="widget-content">
                        
                        <table border="0" style="width: 100%; height: 90px;">
                            <tr>
                                <td>PARENT NAME</td>
                                <td>DESCRIPTION</td>
                                <td>EDIT</td>
                                <td>DELETE</td>    
                            </td>
                            <tr>
                                <td>Mens</td>
                                <td><?php echo $ctgparent_name; ?></td>
                                <td><button type="button" class="edit" onclick="location.href='<?php echo site_url('cpages/editparentctg'); ?>';">EDIT</button></td>
                                <td><button type="button" class="delete" href="adminform.php">DELETE</button></td>    
                            </td>    
                            <tr>
                                <td>Womens</td>
                                <td><?php echo $ctgparent_description; ?></td>
                                <td><button type="button" class="edit" onclick="location.href='<?php echo site_url('cpages/addparentctg'); ?>';">EDIT</button></td>
                                <td><button type="button" class="delete" href="adminform.php">DELETE</button></td>

How to fix the error so that I can see the result?

I think your function $this->Mpages->retrieve_parentctg(); is return an array rather then a plain string.

On the package it said needs Windows 7 or better. So I installed Linux.
