Codeigniter 4 ErrorException Undefined variable: table - codeigniter-4

Question

I am facing this issue of Undefined variable as shown in the image attached which I am not sure what is wrong.
My code as follows:
Routes
$routes->get('account/game_reg', 'Game::index');
$routes->match(['get', 'post'], 'account/game_reg', 'Game::game_reg');
Controller
public function index()
{
$data = [];
if(!session()->get('isLoggedIn')):
return redirect()->to(base_url('account/login'));
endif;
$games = new GamelistModel();
$data['table'] = $games->getList();
echo view('templates/header', $data);
echo view('account/game_reg');
echo view('templates/footer');
}
public function game_reg()
{
$data = [];
helper(['form']);
$validation = \Config\Services::validation();
if($this->request->getMethod() == 'post'){
$user_id = session()->get('user_id');
//validations
$rules = [
'game_id' => 'required',
'ign' => 'required|is_unique[game_reg.ign]',
'acc_id' => 'required'
];
$errors = [
'ign' => [
'is_unique' => 'IGN already exist!'
],
'acc_id' => [
'is_unique' => 'Account ID already exist!'
]
];
if(!$this->validate($rules, $errors)){
$data['validation'] = $this->validator;
}else{
//store information into database
$model = new GameregModel();
$newData = [
'game_id' => $this->request->getVar('game_id'),
'ign' => $this->request->getVar('ign'),
'acc_id' => $this->request->getVar('acc_id'),
'user_id' => session()->get('user_id'),
'created_by' => session()->get('username')
];
$model->save($newData);
$session = session();
$session->setFlashdata('success', 'Game Successfully Added!');
return redirect()->to(base_url('account/game_reg'));
}
}
echo view('templates/header', $data);
echo view('account/game_reg');
echo view('templates/footer');
}
GameregModel
<?php namespace App\Models;
use CodeIgniter\Model;
class GameregModel extends Model{
protected $table = 'game_reg';
protected $allowedFields = [
'user_id',
'game_id',
'ign',
'acc_id',
'created_at',
'updated_at',
'created_by'
];
}
?>
GamelistModel
<?php namespace App\Models;
use CodeIgniter\Model;
class GamelistModel extends Model{
protected $table = 'game_list';
protected $primarykey = 'game_id';
protected $allowedFields = [
'game_id',
'game_name'
];
public function getList()
{
return $this->orderBy('game_id', 'ASC')->findAll();
}
}
?>
Views
<select id="myDropdown">
<?php
$i = 1;
foreach($table as $t) :
$i++;
?>
<option value="<?= $t['game_id']; ?>" data-imagesrc="/img/logo_<?= strtolower($t['game_name']); ?>.jpg"><?= $t['game_name']; ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
If I remove away the is_unique function, everything works perfectly fine but when I include the is_unique, I get the error. What I am trying to do is, I would retrieve a list of games updated by admin, user will then choose from this list and save into their profile.
Hope someone can help me out of this.
Thanks in advance guys!

Answer 1

You are only sending the data into one of your views. The one using the $table variable does not have access to it.
So in your loading views code you have to do the following:
echo view('templates/header', $data);
echo view('account/game_reg', $data);
echo view('templates/footer', $data);
It's better to just send the data across all views.
The other thing I noticed (nothing to do with the problem here) is that you're closing the php tags inside your models. Never do that. Your classes should never have the php closing tag ?>.
