Non object from array

[hoffmeyer]

Hi

 

I am having some problems accessing some Zend_Date objects in an Array. I have a function to generate table rows. It receives an object that contains an array of data to put in the table. See below:

CODE: SELECT ALL

protected function getData($component){

      $data = "";

      foreach($component->getData() as $dataItem){

        $data .= "  <tr class='data'>";

       

        for($i = 0 ; $i < $component->getMaxColumns(); $i++){

            $data .= "    <td>";

            if(array_key_exists($i, $dataItem)){

              $date = $dataItem[$i];

              $data .= "      " . $date->get(Zend_Date::DAY_SHORT);

            }else

              $data .= "       ";

            $data .= "    </td>";

           

        }

       

        $data .= "  </tr>";

      }

      return $data;

  }

 

When running this code i get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object

on the line

CODE: SELECT ALL

$data .= "      " . $date->get(Zend_Date::DAY_SHORT);

 

if i just add the variable $date to the string, it prints the correct date. If i try to use the get_class method on $date it prints out Zend_Date, so it is obviously aware og the variable being of the type Zend_Date.

 

Why am I unable to access the methods of the object, and why does it claim that $date is not an object?

 

Any help will be much appreciated.
