error: {type: "ErrorException", message: "Creating default object from empty value"} in Laravel 4.2

Question

When I run the code given below I am getting the following error

error: {type: "ErrorException", message: "Creating default object from empty value"}

at this $mandate->user_id = $current_user; line. I have tried this and this but still shows the same error. Thanks for any suggestions.

public function postProcess()
{
    $id = Input::get('id');
    $button_id = Input::get('button_id');
    $remarks = Input::get('remarks');
    $current_user = Sentry::getUser()->id;
    $mandate = new Mandate();
    $mandate = Mandate::find($id);

    $mandate->user_id = $current_user;
    $mandate->remarks = $remarks;

    $eventlog = new Eventlog();
    $eventlog->user_id = $current_user;
    $eventlog->mandate_id = $id;

    if($button_id == "reject"){
      $rejectreason_id = Input::get('rejectreason_id');
      $rejectreason = Input::get('rejectreason');
      $mandate->mandate_status = "Rejected";
      $mandate->rejectreason_id = $rejectreason_id;
      $eventlog->event = "Rejected: ".$rejectreason;   
    }else if($button_id == "verify") {
      $mandate->mandate_status = "Awaiting approval";
      $eventlog->event = "Verified";
    }
    else if($button_id == "approve") {
      $mandate->mandate_status = "Approved";
      $eventlog->event = "Approved";
    }

    $eventlog->save();
    $mandate->save();
    $this->generateXML($id,$rejectreason);
}

EDIT 1 (As suggested by Suresh Kamrushi)

public function postProcess()
{
    $id = Input::get('id');
    $button_id = Input::get('button_id');
    $remarks = Input::get('remarks');
    $current_user = Sentry::getUser()->id;
    $rejectreason = "";
    $mandate = new Mandate();
    $mandate = Mandate::where('id',$id)->first();

    if(is_object($mandate)) {
      file_put_contents('log.txt', print_r("no mandate", true));
      $mandate->user_id = $current_user;
      $mandate->remarks = $remarks;
      $eventlog = new Eventlog();
      $eventlog->user_id = $current_user;
      $eventlog->mandate_id = $id;

      if($button_id == "reject"){
        $rejectreason_id = Input::get('rejectreason_id');
        $rejectreason = Input::get('rejectreason');
        $mandate->mandate_status = "Rejected";
        $mandate->rejectreason_id = $rejectreason_id;
        $eventlog->event = "Rejected: ".$rejectreason;
        //$this->generateXML($id,$rejectreason);   
      }else if($button_id == "verify") {
        $mandate->mandate_status = "Awaiting approval";
        $eventlog->event = "Verified";
      }
      else if($button_id == "approve") {
        $mandate->mandate_status = "Approved";
        $eventlog->event = "Approved";
        //$this->generateXML($id,$rejectreason);
      }

      $eventlog->save();
      $mandate->save();
    }
}

Now the error is gone but the code inside if statement is not working now.

Try something like this:

$mandate = Mandate::find($id);
if(is_object($mandate)) {
  $mandate->user_id = $current_user;
  $mandate->remarks = $remarks;
}

The error is gone but the code inside 'if' statement not working. as given in EDIT1

@NithilGeorge: You have problem with "Mandate::find($id);" check Mandate class with find() is available or not. because of that $mandate is not initiating and it is not going inside if condition.
