"Trying to get property 'id' of non-object (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\CERCAA\resources\views\admin\posts\edit.blade.php)"

Question

When I am editing my post then I am prompted with the following error message

Trying to get property 'id' of non-object (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\CERCAA\resources\views\admin\posts\edit.blade.php)

public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        'title' => 'required',
        'content' => 'required',
        'category_id' => 'required'
    ]);

    $post = Post::find($id);

    if($request->hasFile('featured'))
    {
        $featured = $request->featured;

        $featured_new_name = time() . $featured->getClientOriginalName();

        $featured->move('uploads/posts', $featured_new_name);

        $post->featured = 'uploads/posts/'.$featured_new_name;

    }
    $post->title = $request->title;

    $post->content = $request->content;

    $post->category_id = $request->category_id;

    $post->save();

    Session::flash('success', 'Post updated successfully.');

    return redirect()->route('posts');

}

and blade code

<div class="form-group">

Select a Category

@foreach($categories as $category)

id}}"

@if($post->$category->id == $category->name)

selected

@endif

{{$category->name}}

@endforeach

List item

from what i can presume...because it is not very clear you are trying to select a property from an ARRAY not an object, so just change it in a way that is selecting an array element and not an object eg: selecting property from object: $array->my_object; selecting element from array : $array['my_object']; — Andrei Fiordean

@AndreiFiordean, I did but still it has same issue, how can change for category — user10945543
– user10945543, Commented Apr 26, 2019 at 7:54
that is what i am trying to say, on this $post->$category->id you should do it like this $post->$category['id'], your post is an array — Andrei Fiordean
– Andrei Fiordean, Commented Apr 26, 2019 at 7:56
thank you,, I mean to say that not getting error after using array['id'], however still I have same issue, When going to edit my post, category slecting home category(only one Home category). — user10945543

My Post method for post and category

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Category extends Model {

protected $table = 'categories'; // here set table's name
protected $primaryKey = 'id'; // here set table's primary Key field name
protected $fillable = ['id']; // here set all table's fields name




public function posts()
{
    return $this->hasMany('App\Post');
}

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;

class Post extends Model {

public function category()

{
    return $this->belongsTo('App/Category');
}


public function getFeaturedAttribute($featured)
{
    return asset($featured);
}

use SoftDeletes;

protected $dates=['deleted_at'];


protected $fillable=['title','content','category_id','featured','slug'];

}

Controller...

public function store(Request $request) {

    $this->validate($request, [


       'title' =>'required',
        'featured'=>'required|mimes:jpeg,pdf,docx,png:5000',

        'file'=>'required|mimes:jpeg,pdf,docx,png:5000',
        'content'=>'required',
        'category_id'=>'required',

    ]);




    $featured= $request->featured;
    $featured_new_name=time().$featured->getClientOriginalName();
    $featured->move('uploads/posts', $featured_new_name);

    $file=$request->file;
    $file_name=time().$file->getClientOriginalName();
    $file->move('uploads/posts', $file_name);

    $post = Post::create([

        'title'=>$request->title,
        'content'=>$request->content,
        'featured'=>'uploads/posts/'. $featured_new_name,
        'file'=>'uploads/posts'. $file_name,
        'category_id'=>$request->category_id,
        'slug'=>str_slug($request->title)


    ]);


  Session::flash('success', 'New Blog has been Published on Website for Particular Menu');

  return redirect()->back();

}

This the area in your blade where you are getting the issue:

<label for ="category">Select a Category</label>
<select name="category_id" id="category" class="form-control">
    @foreach($categories as $category)
        <option value="{{$category->id}}"
          @if(property_exists($post, 'category') && $post->$category['id'] == $category->name)
               selected
           @endif
       >{{$category->name}}</option>
    @endforeach
</select>

Where are you fetching and providing $categories to this blade template? I mean the controller method which loads the edit blade? Can you post that code as well? And please update your question instead of posting answers.

Khuram Over a year ago

please provide the code of the controller method that loads your edit blade, this should be the edit method of your controller.
