how to retrieve object from array?

Question

I want to retrieve an elements of object from an array

I tried with but didn't get

  $api_response_decode['data']->stdClass->sales->stdClass

here is my array

 [data] => stdClass Object
    (
        [sales] => stdClass Object
            (
                [clothing] => 2
                [men] => 0
                [children] => 4
            )

    )

I want to get

 [clothing]
 [men]
 [children]

`stdClass` is the object type, not the attribute name.... – user193130 Jun 13 '14 at 12:42 — user193130, Jun 13 '14 at 12:42

You don't need stdClass in your example:

To get the object:

$api_response_decode['data']

To get the sales object:

$api_response_decode['data']->sales

To get, say, clothing:

$api_response_decode['data']->sales->clothing

@user2046638 If `$api_response_decode` is an object also you will have to treat it like one: `$api_response_decode->data` – Jim Jun 13 '14 at 13:20

is $api_response_decode an object or an array? How are you getting it?

However, you could retrieve the sales items with get_object_vars.

$items=get_object_vars($api_response_decode->data->sales);
var_dump($items);

prints

array(3) {
  ["clothing"]=>   int(2)
  ["men"]=>    int(0)
  ["children"]=>  int(4)
}

Edit: it seems $api_response_decode is an object, so I edited accordingly.

stdClass is a type, not a value.

$api_response_decode['data']->sales->clothing

still get cannot use object of type stdClass as array :( – user2046638 Jun 13 '14 at 13:19
Give a var_dump() of $api_response_decode. Maybe data is also an object and not an array. – fdehanne Jun 13 '14 at 13:48
