PHP - Objects and Arrays - How to access an stdClass object "name" "value" pair inside an array?

Question

I would like to know how to return a value of an object with a name value pair that's inside an array. I've been trying all sorts of methods and frankly I realized I may be way over my head on this. I'd like some assistance trying to get the AirportsInformation_DataExtension value inside the property array.

Using a foreach loop I was able to print out all lines with name/value sets

foreach ($results->Results->Properties->Property as $CurrentProp){
    print('<br>');
    print('Name: '.$CurrentProp->Name. ' Value: '.$CurrentProp->Value.'<br>');                    
};

Sadly I can't get passed that. I just need to retrieve the value. Thanks in advance.

If the $results is that object you outputted above, then your code should work. What error are you getting (assuming you have error reporting on). — Glavić

Hi Glavic, with the foreach loop there was no error generated. — Karlo P

In order to get the value, you could loop over them and test for the name matching AirportsInformation_DataExtension:

foreach ($results->Results->Properties->Property as $CurrentProp){

    if($CurrentProp->Name == 'AirportsInformation_DataExtension')
    {
        echo 'The value is: ' . $CurrentProp->Value;
    }

}

If you would need to be able to get all the values based on their name, it could be useful to turn it in to an associative array, like this

$results->Results->Properties->PropertyArray = array();
foreach($results->Results->Properties->Property as $arrCurrentProperty) {
  $results->Results->Properties->PropertyArray[$arrCurrentProperty->Name] = $arrCurrentProperty->Value;
};

Then you can get the values later by indexing them directly, i.e.

echo 'The value is: ' . $results->Results->Properties->PropertyArray['AirportsInformation_DataExtension'];

Use the above solution by MrCode or, simply just use $results->Results->Properties->Property[15]->Value if the index of AirportsInformation_DataExtension is always 15. Since an array is an ordered list, it is very probably that the index does not change unless some of the items are removed/added from the array/

Hi @Sparky, this also works beautifully. There's low chance that the index will change. Thanks!

foreach ($results->Results->Properties->Property as $CurrentProp){
    $tempArr[$CurrentProp->Name] = $CurrentProp->Value;
}

echo $tempArr['AirportsInformation_DataExtension'];

By this you can access any other key of that object.
