Adding an array of objects to another array in codeigntier PHP?

Question

im using codeigntier framework im trying to solve a problem to do with retrieving information from a database for example:

model.php:

public function read(){
   $query = $this->db->get('table');
   return $query->result();
}

controller.php:

  public function doSomething () {
       $exampleArray['name'] = "Bob's Database";
       $getModel = $this->load->model('model','getData');
       $modelData = $this->getData->read();
       // i want to assign the the $modelData to a array element like so
       $exampleArray['modelData'] = $modelData // here's where im stuck :(
}

thanks for your help!! p.s. this is not an error, its just a question :)

If you want to be able to access $exampleArray outside of that method, you'll have to do one of two things:

a) set it as a class variable

class MyClass {
    public $exampleArray;
    .
    .
    . 
}

then refer to it using

$this->exampleArray['index']

or b) pass it by reference into your doSomething() function:

public function doSomething(&$exampleArray) { ... }

The php manual has a section on variable scope that should help you better understand this.

i think you got me wrong, but nice answer, im not talking about scope here, im trying to assign the array of objects that i get from my model to the $exampleArray['modelData'] variable, i was wondering if i did it right on my code!

Yes, you did. After the assignment, use var_dump($exampleArray) to verify. (You may want to echo <pre> tags around your var_dump() to make it clearer in your browser.)
