[php] How to access a property of an object (stdClass Object) member/element of an array?

Doing print_r() on my array I get the following:

Array ( 
    [0] => 
        stdClass Object 
        ( 
            [id] => 25 
            [time] => 2014-01-16 16:35:17 
            [fname] => 4 
            [text] => 5 
            [url] => 6 
        ) 
)

How can I access a specific value in the array? The following code does not work because of the stdClass Object

echo $array['id'];

This question is related to php arrays stdclass

The answer is


You have an array. A PHP array is basically a "list of things". Your array has one thing in it. That thing is a standard class. You need to either remove the thing from your array

$object = array_shift($array);
var_dump($object->id);

Or refer to the thing by its index in the array.

var_dump( $array[0]->id );

Or, if you're not sure how many things are in the array, loop over the array

foreach($array as $key=>$value)
{
    var_dump($value->id);
    var_dump($array[$key]->id);
}

How about something like this.

function objectToArray( $object ){
   if( !is_object( $object ) && !is_array( $object ) ){
    return $object;
 }
if( is_object( $object ) ){
    $object = get_object_vars( $object );
}
    return array_map( 'objectToArray', $object );
}

and call this function with your object

$array = objectToArray( $yourObject );

reference


Try this:

echo $array[0]->id;

Try this, working fine -

$array = json_decode(json_encode($array), true);
