I did a var dump of a php object $grid, and there is this property that I need to access:
["wpupg_post_types"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"post";}" } I need to get the word "post" out of that. I tried doing
$posttype = $grid->wpupg_post_types; if (in_array("post", $posttype)) { echo "post"; } But that didn't work. And if I try var_dump($grid->wpupg_post_types); it returns NULL.
Do you know how I can do it?
The variable is an array of strings that are serialized:
a:1:{i:0;s:4:"post";} Pull the first item off and then pass it to unserialize() to turn it into an array:
$result = unserialize(array_shift($grid->wpupg_post_types)); This yields:
Array ( [0] => post ) Note: This assumes the property is public.
get_post_types() or something that you can call to get the value.$grid->post_types. I don't understand why since post_types isn't a property? But nevertheless, this worked: if( in_array( 'post', $grid->post_types() ) )$posttype = $grid->wpupg_post_types; contains an array of one element with a serialized array with post.
php > $array = [serialize(['post'])]; php > var_dump($array); php shell code:1: array(1) { [0] => string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"post";}" } To check if the post is inside the array you need to do another kind of check
php > var_dump(in_array('post', unserialize($array[0]))); php shell code:1: bool(true) Your particular case should be
if(in_array('post', unserialize($grid->wpupg_post_types[0]))) { echo 'post'; } EDIT: here my interactive shell
$ php -a Interactive shell php > $array = [serialize(['post'])]; php > var_dump($array); php shell code:1: array(1) { [0] => string(21) "a:1:{i:0;s:4:"post";}" } php > var_dump(in_array('post', unserialize($array[0]))); php shell code:1: bool(true) php >
