Get value from joined tables, Codeigniter - codeigniter

Question

I'm trying to get and display the data from joined tables but I can't get anything in return. I reference this and it worked on my other function, but when I tried it again on a different function, I can't get any results.
Here's the Model:
public function viewReview($id)
{
$this->db->select('clients.firstname, clients.lastname, packages.title, rate_review.review, rate_review.date_created');
$this->db->where('rate_review.id', $id);
$this->db->join('clients', 'clients.id = rate_review.user_id');
$this->db->join('packages', 'rate_review.package_id = packages.id');
$this->db->from('rate_review');
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->row_array();
}
Controller:
public function view_review($id)
{
$data['title'] = 'Rate & Reviews';
$data['review'] = $this->Admin_model->viewReview($id);
$this->load->view('../admin/template/admin_header');
$this->load->view('../admin/template/admin_topnav');
$this->load->view('../admin/template/admin_sidebar');
$this->load->view('../admin/rate_review/view', $data);
$this->load->view('../admin/template/admin_footer');
}
View:
<div class="card-body">
<p>User:
<?php echo $review['firstname'].' '. $review['lastname']; ?>
</p>
<p>Package:
<?php echo $review['title']; ?>
</p>
<div class="m-2">
<pre class="border-2"><?php echo $review['review']; ?></pre>
<br>
<span class="mt-2"><?php echo $review['date_created']; ?></span>
</div>
</div>
When I var_dump($query) in model, this is what I get

Answer 1

the query seems to be fine except that we do not know if the data really exists in those joined tables. Are you sure data if there? the best way to debug is to use profiler so that you preview the real query built $this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE), after that take that query and run it on the mysql directly.
place this anywhere in your controller $this->output->enable_profiler(TRUE).

Answer 2

Please be sure the path is correct and try this query in your model
public function viewReview($data) {
$sql = "SELECT c.firstname as firstname, c.lastname as lastname, p.title as title, r.review as review, r.date_created as date_created FROM rate_review r INNER JOIN clients c ON (c.id = r.user_id)
INNER JOIN packages p ON (p.id = r. package_id) WHERE r.id = ?";
$query = $this->db->query($sql, $data);
return (array)$query->row();
}
Also please change this line in your controller
$data['review'] = $this->Admin_model->viewReview(array($id));
Then error log what you get please
error_log($data['review']);
