I've got a problem when assigning data to an object variable. In all my time, i haven't seen such weird behaviour.
I have a class:
class Main extends CI_Controller {
public $data = array();
public function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
/**
* Load Models
*/
$this->load->model('rss');
$this->load->model('model_product');
/**
* Default loaded Data
*/
$this->data['newsfeed'] = $this->rss->load($this->config->item('newsfeed'));
}
}
You see that i want to add the newsfeed to the $this->data object. It will held in a key named newsfeed. But now, i want this newsfeed on different pages. It is useless and inefficient to load this on every page, so i extended my main controller.
class Shop extends Main {
public function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
}
public function index()
{
$this->data['content'] = 'shop/default';
$this->load->view('template/index', $this->data);
}
public function product($id){
$this->data['product'] = $this->model_product->getProducts(null, $id);
if($this->data['product']->categoryid != $this->config->item('gamecategory')){
redirect('');
}
var_dump($this->data['product']);
$this->data['content'] = 'shop/product';
$this->load->view('template/index', $this->data);
}
}
The expected behaviour would be that $this->data would hold an array of objects (in each key ) but when i var_dump in the shop controller it gives me the entire $data object as return data, instead of the provided key. This totally blows my mind and i cant seem to understand this weird behaviour.
Expected var_dump ($this->data['product']):
Array(x){
key: value,
key: value,
.....
}
actual result:
Object{
newsfeed:
- data
product:
- data
....
....
}
Model rss:
if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Rss extends CI_Model{
public function __construct(){
parent::__construct();
}
public function load($item){
return ($xml = simplexml_load_string(file_get_contents($item))) ? $xml : false;
}
}
