Can you show the code that is accessing these variables in your view? - Jerodev
i edited it with the view - Zerontelli
$product = Products::where('pro_id',$id)->Paginate(1)[0]; - Nick
it still give the same error as when using the ->first() method on $product : Trying to get property of non-object - Zerontelli

$product = Products::where('pro_id',$id)->Paginate(1);

this code returns array cahnge code to like below:

$product = Products::where('pro_id',$id)->first();

Here you are calling a paginator:

$product = Products::where('pro_id',$id)->Paginate(1);

Try this instead:

$product = Products::where('pro_id',$id)->first();

-or-

$product = Products::where('pro_id',$id)->paginate(1)[0];

-or finally-

$product = Product::findOrFail($id);

The latter would only work if you've set protected $primaryKey = 'pro_id'; within your class.

The details:

When you called $product = Products::where('pro_id',$id)->Paginate(1);' you are getting aPaginatorinstance back from the data layer. ThePaginatordoesn't have the properties that aProduct` does in your example, which is where the error is coming from.

A paginator is a different type of collection, but it is a type of collection, also. Think about it like an array or like a Java style ArrayList which is a complex wrapper class for an array that provides additional funcitonality. A paginator is similar, but with an extra level of abstraction to provide view based pagination. You can access objects on the 'page' within the paginator similarly to how you can get array-like access to objects in a collection.

If you just return a collection, then doing

$product = Products::where('pro_id',$id)->get();

Gives you the the matching id as a collection. In order to actually see the object you want you would need to do this:

$product = Products::where('pro_id',$id)->paginate(1)[0];

to get the first item in that collection.
