How do I access an array with objects?

Question

I am trying to learn how to access objects in an array. For example how do I access the name? [name] => Yearly Membership.

The function I am using is called: wc_memberships_get_user_active_memberships(); and I set in my code:

$get_user_membership = wc_memberships_get_user_active_memberships();

I tried to echo out even just the id

echo $get_user_membership[0]->[id];

But I get an error so I know I am doing something wrong.

How can I access each of these values in this? Any help would be very helpful

edit: here is the error I got in the example of trying to get id

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting identifier (T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$' in (removed filename) on line 325

Read about arrays and don't quit until you reach the section "Accessing array elements with square bracket syntax". And read about objects. The syntax ->[] is an invalid combination of the two concepts. — axiac

I would say:

var_dump($get_user_membership[0]->plan->name);

Thanks! This works well too, and is a lot cleaner than the other answer given. I appreciate it. Is this the best solution? Or would there be better ways to access the data?

Please stay on topic, answers should not be used to query or question.

@bdanzer I'd use curly brackets for accessing an object's properties these ways: $obj->{$variable}; $obj->{"key_$variable"}; $obj->{'space inproperty'}. otherwise I like to keep it simple $obj->property

You can do it by running around array [] and object {} so:

var_dump($get_user_membership[0]->{'plan'}->{'name'});

Thanks! That did end up working for me when I did: echo $get_user_membership[0]->{'plan'}->{'name'}; . Is there other methods of accessing the same thing or is this the best solution?

$get_user_membership[0]->{'plan'}->{'name'} is just a complicated way to write $get_user_membership[0]->plan->name. It doesn't answer the question.

@axiac The question was How can I access each of these values in this? and the answerer has provided a solution therefore I'd argue that it is in fact a valid answer, whether it is done in a verbose way or not is not an issue.

@bdanzer Hi is the simple way to known how without any loop, thinking on how to get and run around object array multidimensional. Now you can implement a simple loop to the other value.
