Question

I’ve got a problem which I can’t seem to find a solution to. In a foreach loop

foreach( $results->result as $item )

the following code

$item->title = str_replace( " - Home", "", $item->title );

always throws an error

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string

I thought str_replace was able to handle arrays? What would I need to change in order to get this working?

Thanks for any advice!

Answer 1

It’s not an array, it’s an object, as the error says… did you get it with json_decode() by any chance?

However, the solution is simple – cast it to an array:

$item->title = str_replace( " - Home", "", (array) $item->title );

Another point about this is that if you are wanting to modify the data held in $results->result, and not just a copy of it, you will need your foreach to be:

foreach( $results->result as &$item )

…and get item as a reference, not a copy…
