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']; To access an array member you use $array['KEY'];
To access an object member you use $obj->KEY;
To access an object member inside an array of objects:
$array[0] // Get the first object in the array
$array[0]->KEY // then access its key
You may also loop over an array of objects like so:
foreach ($arrayOfObjs as $key => $object) { echo $object->object_property; } Think of an array as a collection of things. It's a bag where you can store your stuff and give them a unique id (key) and access them (or take the stuff out of the bag) using that key. I want to keep things simple here, but this bag can contain other bags too :)
An array contains 'key' and 'value' pairs. Providing a key for an array member is optional and in this case it is automatically assigned a numeric key which starts with 0 and keeps on incrementing by 1 for each additional member. We can retrieve a 'value' from the array by it's 'key'.
So we can define an array in the following ways (with respect to keys):
$colorPallete = ['red', 'blue', 'green']; The above array will be assigned numeric keys automatically. So the key assigned to red will be 0, for blue 1 and so on.
$colorPallete[0]; // will output 'red' $colorPallete[1]; // will output 'blue' $colorPallete[2]; // will output 'green' $colorPallete = ['love' => 'red', 'trust' => 'blue', 'envy' => 'green']; // we expliicitely define the keys ourself. $colorPallete['love']; // will output 'red' $colorPallete['trust']; // will output 'blue' $colorPallete['envy']; // will output 'green' 
$a = ['someKey' => 'someValue']; then you will get someValue returned if you access $a['someKey']. When we use the foreach loop we can access the key and value for each member of an array.Try this, working fine -
$array = json_decode(json_encode($array), true); 
true converts to array ?
json_decode('{"foo":"bar"}', true); returns array("foo" => "bar");Try this:
echo $array[0]->id; 
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 ); 
echo $array[0]->id;
