Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string

Viewed 430087

I am having a problem with PHP at the moment, I am getting this error,

Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string the error occurs when I run this portion of code in my site,

function myaccount() {
    $data['user_data'] = $this->auth->get_userdata($this->uri->segment(3));
    //var_dump($data['user_data']);
    $this->load->model('users_model');
    $data['user_info'] = $this->users_model->get_user_and_roadmaps_by_id($this->uri->segment(3));
    $this->template->build('users/my_account', $data);
}

The line in which the error is occuring is this one,

$data['user_data'] = $this->auth->get_userdata($this->uri->segment(3));

And this line is calling this function,

   function get_userdata() {

        $CI =& get_instance();

        if(!$this->logged_in()) {
            return false;
        } else {
            $query = $CI->db->get_where('users', array('user_id' => $CI->session->userdata('user_id')));
            return $query->row();
        }
    }

I don't really now what this problem is, so any help would be great.

Like others said, echo command is not able to print out an object on its own. For that reason, You can consider using print_r to display the content of your object.

So, in your case:

 print_r($query);

What I was looking for is a way to fetch the data

so I used this $data = $this->db->get('table_name')->result_array();

and then fetched my data just as you operate on array objects.

$data[0]['field_name']

No need to worry about type casting or anything just straight to the point.

So it worked for me.

If you are having this problem that means your array is in a type in which you can cot convert it to string type. Your Object is not in string type. So you can convert it by this. $data= json_decode( json_encode($data), true);

If you want more reference you can go here. Hope it helps.
