Question

Here is my var_dump:

array(2) {
  [1]=>
  object(stdClass)#382 (3) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(12) "Other fields"
    ["sortorder"]=>
    string(1) "1"
    ["id"]=>
    int(1)
  }
  [3]=>
  object(stdClass)#381 (3) {
    ["name"]=>
    string(6) "custom"
    ["sortorder"]=>
    string(1) "2"
    ["id"]=>
    int(3)
  }
}

I need some PHP to select the 2nd object, obviously it wont always be the 2nd object, so I need to select it based on its [“name”] which will always be “custom”.

The below code give’s me all the names but I just want “custom” and the get the ID of custom.

foreach ($profilecats as $cat) {
    $settings .= $something->name;
}

Answer 1

foreach ($profilecats as $cat) {
  if ($cat->name == 'custom') {
    echo $cat->id;
  }
}
