Update PHP 7.4
Curly brace access syntax is deprecated since PHP 7.4
Update 2019
Moving on to the best practices of OOPS, @MrTrick's answer must be marked as correct, although my answer provides a hacked solution its not the best method.
Simply iterate its using {}
Example:
$videos{0}->id
This way your object is not destroyed and you can easily iterate through object.
For PHP 5.6 and below use this
$videos{0}['id']
Both array() and the stdClass objects can be accessed using the
current() key() next() prev() reset() end()
functions.
So, if your object looks like
object(stdClass)#19 (3) {
[0]=>
object(stdClass)#20 (22) {
["id"]=>
string(1) "123"
etc...
Then you can just do;
$id = reset($obj)->id; //Gets the 'id' attr of the first entry in the object
If you need the key for some reason, you can do;
reset($obj); //Ensure that we're at the first element
$key = key($obj);
Hope that works for you. :-) No errors, even in super-strict mode, on PHP 5.4
2022 Update:
After PHP 7.4, using current(), end(), etc functions on objects is deprecated.
In newer versions of PHP, use the ArrayIterator class:
$objIterator = new ArrayIterator($obj);
$id = $objIterator->current()->id; // Gets the 'id' attr of the first entry in the object
$key = $objIterator->key(); // and gets the key
