Question

I have a variable $entry which is set to:

stdClass Object (
[im:name] => stdClass Object
(
[label] => Amazing Breaker
)
etc.

How can I access the value “Amazing Breaker”?

I tried to define a constant:

define("IMNAME", 'im:name');

but using:

foreach ($json_output->feed->entry as $entry) {
if (isset($entry->IMNAME->label))

returns FALSE.

Problem seems to be the colon. For a key without colon the code would return TRUE.

You can use the free-form syntax with curly braces for ‘special’ property names:

if (isset($entry->{'im:name'}->label))
