Object problem

[glenelkins]

Hi

 

if i use this code:

 

echo '<pre>';
print_r ( $advertisers->advertisers->advertiser[0]);
echo '</pre>';

 

the output is as follows:

 

SimpleXMLElement Object

(

    [advertiser-id] => 149938

    [account-status] => Active

    [seven-day-epc] => 5.99

    [three-month-epc] => 7.97

    [language] => en

    [advertiser-name] => MisterArt.com

    [program-url] => http://www.misterart.com

    [relationship-status] => joined

    [network-rank] => 3

    [primary-category] => SimpleXMLElement Object

        (

            [parent] => Art/Photo/Music

            [child] => Art

        )

 

    [performance-incentives] => false

    [actions] => SimpleXMLElement Object

        (

            [action] => SimpleXMLElement Object

                (

                    [name] => Sale

                    [type] => sale

                    [id] => 294

                    [commission] => SimpleXMLElement Object

                        (

                            [default] => 7.00%

                        )

 

                )

 

        )

 

    [link-types] => SimpleXMLElement Object

        (

            [link-type] => Array

                (

                    [0] => Banner

                    [1] => Text Link

                    [2] => Advanced Link

                )

 

        )

 

)

 

Cool!!!

 

But now if i try:

 

echo $advertisers->advertisers->advertiser[0]->advertiser-id;

 

it keeps showing 0 when clearly it should be 149938  ... any ideas on this one?

Should (untested) work -

 

echo $advertisers->advertisers->advertiser[0]->{'advertiser-id'};

thanks...learn something new every day

[ignace]

echo $advertisers->advertisers->advertiser[0]->advertiser-id;

 

If you use a syntax highlighting IDE then you should have noticed that advertiser-id showed the - as an operator (advertiser - id):

 

advertiser-id
