How to pass array object from model to another controller? - codeigniter

Question

This is a Noob question , but i have searched a lot with no luck.
I am returning array of objects from model to controller and i have to pass it to another model. I will have to convert it but how ?
This is my controller :
$data['customer_phoneno'] = $this->session->userdata('customer_phoneno');
$data['cid']=$this->Stylish_wizard->getCid($this->session->userdata('customer_phoneno'));
$data['bookings']=$this->Myaccount_customer->getBookings($cid);
Model :
public function getBookings($cid)
{
$this->db->where('cid', $cid);
$this->db->from('bookings');
$query = $this->db->get();
return $query->result();
}
I want to get the data from one model and use it to get some other data from another model.
I had tried passing $data['cid'] but got this error
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice

Unknown column 'Array' in 'where clause'
SELECT * FROM `bookings` WHERE `cid` = `Array`

I tried passing
$data['cid']->cid
But its not working
When i printed $data['cid'] i got
Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [cid] => 8 ) )
So how do i convert it in string ?

Answer 1

Then you can achieve it using as
Controller
public function your_function(){
$this->load->model('folder_name/my_calling_model');//initialize that model
//your rest code
$data['my_data'] = $this->my_calling_model->my_calling_function();//your function to be called
}
You can call another model within your code as like above code,but it seems you might be having a typo within your code while passing $cid it seems to be $data['cid'] instead. So your code looks like
$data['bookings']=$this->Myaccount_customer->getBookings($data['cid']);//<----- changed from $cid to $data['cid']

Answer 2

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you want to achieve this:
$data['customer_phoneno'] = $this->session->userdata('customer_phoneno');
$data['cid']=$this->Stylish_wizard->getCid($this->session->userdata('customer_phoneno'));
$data['bookings']=$this->Myaccount_customer->getBookings($data['cid']);
Make sure to pass the right array / object element.
edit:
Like I said: Make sure to pass the right array or object element. $data['cid'] contains an array. But you have to pass a String(the id). So you have to look at this array and pass the right element with your id.
