    <p>I have a PHP class called "food". The internal data structure of the class is an Array.</p> <pre><code>class Food { public $dataArray;// = array(); public $sidesArray;// = array(); public function __construct() { $this-&gt;dataArray = array(); $this-&gt;sidesArray = array(); echo"Created new Food instance&lt;br/&gt;"; } public function setName($food_Name) { $this-&gt;dataArray["food_name"] = $food_Name; } public function getName() { return $this-&gt;dataArray["food_name"]; } </code></pre> <p>When I call this method of the class :</p> <pre><code>$food_name = $foodItem-&gt;getName(); </code></pre> <p>I get this exception:</p> <pre><code>Fatal error: Call to a member function getName() on a non-object...... </code></pre> <p>However when I call this function on the object:</p> <pre><code>print_r($foodItem); </code></pre> <p>I get this output:</p> <pre><code>Array ( [0] =&gt; Food Object ( [dataArray] =&gt; Array ( [food_name] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] =&gt; Tomato Soup ) [food_Cals] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] =&gt; 200 ) [food_Desc] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] =&gt; great ) [food_price] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] =&gt; 2.00 ) [num_sides] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] =&gt; 1 ) ) [sidesArray] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; Side Object ( [dataArray:private] =&gt; Array ( [side_name] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] =&gt; mashed potatoes ) [side_Cals] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) [side_Category] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] =&gt; Sides ) [side_desc] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) [side_price] =&gt; SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] =&gt; 2.00 ) ) ) ) ) ) </code></pre> <p>My question is why is that method getName() not working? How do I get the "name" out of the foodItem object.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks</p>

    1. COAnyone notice that `$dataArray` is `public`? Was that a typo because you have access to array of the instantiated object if its `public` without needing to call the function `getName()`.

    2. COIts public for now, before deployment this will be changed. Thanks for noticing :)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
