Answer 1

To access the elements in the array, use array notation: $product['prodname']

$product->prodname is object notation, which can only be used to access object attributes and methods.

Answer 2

To get the value:

$query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY");

Then, for single row from(in controller):

$query1 = $query->row();
$data['product'] = $query1;

In view, you can use your own code (above code)

Answer 3

In my case, I was looping through a series of objects from an XML file, but some of the instances apparently were not objects which was causing the error. Checking if the object was empty before processing it fixed the problem.

In other words, without checking if the object was empty, the script would error out on any empty object with the error as given below.

For Example:

if (!empty($this->xml_data->thing1->thing2))
{
   foreach ($this->xml_data->thing1->thing2 as $thing)
   {

   }
}
