Cannot access offset of type string on string when trying to access field of an array

am tryna pass data to the pdf generator,

where I got variable dd($employees['fields']) and it has this format

$employees = [
    'fields' => [
        "id" => null,
        "names" => null,
        "gender"=> null,
        "base"=>"1",
       ]
     ]

but in the process of pass data into the package it is giving me that error

$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.newslip', ['data' => $data, 'fields' => [
                    "base" => ($employees['fields']['base'] == "1") ? 1 : 0,
                ]])->setOptions([
                    'defaultFont' => 'sans-serif',
                    'isHtml5ParserEnabled' => true,
                    'isRemoteEnabled' => true
                ]);

when trying to acess this

'fields' => [
   "base" => ($employees['fields']['base'] == "1") ? 1 : 0,
     ]

can anyone help please?

am hoping that i will be able to accesss $employees['fields]['base']

Solution

  • Double-check that the variable is actually an array before accessing its fields. Try using is_array($var) or var_dump($var) to debug, this help you to get the idea what's the problem.
