Codeigniter: Call to a member function result_array() on a non-object

Question

I\'m using Codeigniter to build a webapp and I received this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function result_array() on a 
non-object in /var/www/applicatio         


        

Answer 1

since get_all_contacts is already using the result() function in your model, you can't also use the result_array() function in your controller. result_array() would be a method of the $query object. The quick and dirty way to get this working(which might break other stuff if its also using the get_all_contacts method) would be to change your get all contacts function to the following:

function get_all_contacts() {
    $query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM person');
    return $query;
}

however, if you want to be smarter about it and not risk breaking other stuff, you can pass a param from the controller, and only return query if its set like so:

REVISED CONTROLLER LINE**

$allContacts = $this->people_model->get_all_contacts(true);

REVISED MODEL CODE

function get_all_contacts($special = false) {
    $query = $this->db->query('SELECT * FROM person');
    if($special)
    {
        return $query;
    }
    return $query->result();
}
