In my DB query with multiple relations, one of the relations is an object and the other is an array:

$query = Model_Cards::query()

->related('sets')

->where($year)

->related('person')

->order_by(DB::expr('number+0'), 'asc');

$cards = $query->get();

Thanks

And your question is?

Oops, Sorry - I think I had a hundred things going on when i wrote this.

The questions is, why would the related 'sets' be available as:

$cards->sets->name;

and the related 'person' be available as:

$cards->person['name']

One is an object and the other is an array.

Thanks

It is an object on a has_one/belongs_to, it is an array of objects if it is a has_many (or part of a many-many).
