getting the value of the single field output using the codeigniter active record

Question

the following function is supposed to read the name of the given asset code from the database. but it triggers the error: \"Trying to get property of non-object\"

Answer 1

I think it's important to check if the record that satisfies the conditions even exists in the database. Code for the model:

function sban_name($asset){
    $this->db->select('name');
    $this->db->from('asset_types');
    $this->db->where('code',$asset);
    $row = $this->db->get()->row();
    if (isset($row)) {
        return $row->name;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

Simply call the function from the controller like so:

 $response = $this->model_name->sban_name($asset)
