Accessing element of object array

[BahBah]

Hello

 

My object looks like this:

 

Array ( [0] => User Object ( [id] => [username] => [password] => [title] => [firstname] => [surname] => [email] => [active] => [salt] => M}8 ) )

 

This is the result of a SQL method from my SQL class.

 

$result_array = self::find_by_sql($sql);

 

Can you please tell me how I can access the 'salt' element of the object array above ? I've been trying:

 

$result_array->salt

 

but that doesn't work.

 

Thanks for any assistance.

[rajivgonsalves]

this should work

 

echo $result_array->salt;

[BahBah]

Thanks for your reply.

 

This is the error I get when I try that:

 

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object

What's the name of the array?

 

echo $nameofarray[0]['salt'];

 

[BahBah]

Thanks for your reply.

 

When I try $result_array[0]['salt'] I get:

 

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type User as array

[BahBah]

I suspect this may be down to the actual method that invokes all of this is a public static function. So it doesn't have access to $this.

 

I'm still not sure why I cannot access the array elements though.

Can you do a var_dump on your array/object so we can actually see what we are trying to help you retrieve.

[BahBah]

Here's the var_dump:

 

array(1) { [0]=>  object(User)#4 (9) { ["id"]=>  NULL ["username"]=>  NULL ["password"]=>  NULL ["title"]=>  NULL ["firstname"]=>  NULL ["surname"]=>  NULL ["email"]=>  NULL ["active"]=>  NULL ["salt"]=>  string(3) "M}8" } }

Try:

 

echo $result_array[0]->salt;

[BahBah]

That did it. Thank you !

 

I appreciate your not having seen all of my classes, but is there a common reason for having to access the array in that form ? because it wasn't my intention for it to read like that.
