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.

stdClass Object

                                )

                        )

                )

        )

)

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 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'];
