PHP undefined-index when getting information from an array

Question

I'm currently getting undefined-index with the following line in my view

<?php echo $contentMangement['cms_name']; ?>

I am getting the information fine from the DB

enter image description here

Can someone explain why I am getting this error?

The screenshot isn't clear about what is being dumped, is that $contentManagement? Maybe you need $contentManagement[0]->cms_name — johannes

Because the index is 0. And then the attribute off that is cms_name.

$contentManagement[0]->cms_name

seems that you are dealing with an array of objects. Try:

<?php echo $contentMangement[0]->cms_name; ?>

Or maybe this could help :

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
?>

Try calculating the size of the array first, before explicitly retrieving an array's value with that index

$contentManagement looks like it's an array of objects. Objects don't use bracket notation ([]), but rather arrow notation (->).

So first, you'll have to get the element of the one-item array:

$object = $contentManagement[0];

And then you can access the cms_name property of that object:

$value = $object->cms_name;
