PHP Arrays - Trying to get property of non-object

Question

I am still new to PHP so please bear with me.

So I am getting this error: Notice: Trying to get property of non-object on this line:

echo (
            \         


        

Answer 1

As you are working with an array, you should use [] to access the array's items :

echo $row['last_name'];

Use the right syntax, and the error will go away ;-)

Still, if you really want to convert an array to an object (not really sure why you'd do that, though, in this specific case), you can use this :

$row = (object)$row;
echo $row->last_name;

Here's the relevant section of the manual : Type Casting

Answer 2

Try this...

foreach($array as $row)
{
    echo (
        "<tr>".
        "<td>".$row['last_name'].     "</td>".
        "<td>".$row['first_name'].    "</td>".
        "<td>".$row['phone_no'].      "</td>".
        "<td>".$row['date_of_birth']. "</td>".
        "<td>".$row['membership'].    "</td>".
        "</tr></table>");
}

Answer 3

I was thinking - how would I convert an array into an object? Maybe that would be my solution.

That indeed would be one solution.

$row = (object) $row;

Another would be to use the right syntax for the data-type in question, in this case an array.

Instead of

$row->last_name

You should use

$row['last_name']
