Question

I have this situation:

object(stdClass)#203 (1) {
  ["1"]=>
  object(stdClass)#212 (7) {
    ["user_id"]=>
    int(1)
    ["type"]=>
    string(6) "Device"
    ["name_first"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["name_last"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["name_display"]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["gender"]=>
    string(11) "Unspecified"
    ["birthday"]=>
    string(0) ""
  }
}

I want to access either “user_id” or the [“1”], but this is of type stdclass so I can’t treat it like an array. (Note: this is from json_decode)

Answer 1

You have to cast it as an array:

$obj = (array) $obj;
$obj[1]["user_id"]
