WordPress echo post meta array value inside input

I'm sending array meta box data using update_post_meta like below. However I cannot seem to output the post meta array value into an empty input. The meta is being stored correctly.

if( get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'date-meta', true ) ) {
    $date_info = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'date-meta', true );
}

My input field looks like this: 

<input type="date" class="widefat" name="vp-date" id="vp-date" value="<?php echo $date_info['vp-date']; ?>" />

I also get a notice which traces back to the if get_post_meta function above. It says: 

Trying to get property of non-object in

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Can you update your question to include more code giving us context? The answer to this depends on where you're using the code. – Nathan Dawson

That error message means that the $post is $post->ID is not an object. I don't know what script you are in but try putting

global $post;

above the if.

Making it

global $post;
if( get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'date-meta', true ) ) {
    $date_info = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'date-meta', true );
}
