Filename: database/DB_active_rec.php

Line Number: 42

what was the mistake am doing here

Answer 1

Change this $this->report_model->get_historical_data($year);

To this

$this->report_model->get_historical_data($year->financial_year);

Answer 2

try this

foreach ($years as $year) {
            $data['result_data'][] = $this->report_model->get_historical_data($year->financial_year);
        }

Answer 3

Only the collection is part of the array

Try something like this:

foreach (array $years as $key => $object) { 
     echo $object->financial_year;
}
