I am trying to access data from a query that I have placed within a function in a model. I am trying to call the function within a controller, and then send along that data to a view. So far, I have been unsuccessful. Here is the code:
Model: Fanartist.php
public function fan_likes() {
$fan_likes = DB::table('fanartists')
->join('artists', 'fanartists.fan_id', '=', 'artists.id')
->where('fanartists.fan_id', '=', Auth::user()->id)
->select('artists.id', 'artists.stage_name', 'artists.city', 'artists.state', 'artists.image_path', 'artists.description');
}
Controller: FansController.php
public function getHome() {
return View::make('fans.home')
->with('fans', Fan::all())
->with('fanartists', Fanartist::fan_likes());
}
View:
@foreach($fanartists as $fanartist)
{{$fanartist}}
@endforeach
When I run this, I get the error:
Non-static method Fanartist::fan_likes() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context
Thank you for your help and suggestions.
UPDATE:
New error. I am returning the view, but now, trying to run this:
@foreach($fanartists as $fanartist)
{{$fanartist->artists.id}}
@endforeach
I get the error:
log.ERROR: exception 'ErrorException' with message 'Trying to get property of non-object' in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/crowdsets/laravel-master/app/storage/views/2ed7fc8952dab08cf4cb4f4e3d40d1ab:100
UPDATE 2:
running:
@foreach($fanartists as $fanartist)
<?php var_dump($fanartist); ?>
@endforeach
I get the following output:
NULL array(6) { [0]=> string(10) "artists.id" [1]=> string(18) "artists.stage_name" [2]=> string(12) "artists.city" [3]=> string(13) "artists.state" [4]=> string(18) "artists.image_path" [5]=> string(19) "artists.description" } bool(false) string(10) "fanartists" array(1) { [0]=> object(Illuminate\Database\Query\JoinClause)#201 (3) { ["type"]=> string(5) "inner" ["table"]=> string(7) "artists" ["clauses"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(4) { ["first"]=> string(17) "fanartists.fan_id" ["operator"]=> string(1) "=" ["second"]=> string(10) "artists.id" ["boolean"]=> string(3) "and" } } } } array(1) { [0]=> array(5) { ["type"]=> string(5) "Basic" ["column"]=> string(17) "fanartists.fan_id" ["operator"]=> string(1) "=" ["value"]=> string(1) "1" ["boolean"]=> string(3) "and" } } NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL
