Looping through PHP objects

[tsdesai]

Hi,

I am trying to loop through using php inorder to get the elements

$names= $names>GetResult;

foreach ($names as &$name)
{
    echo $name->ID;

}

 

The above code gives me an error

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object

 

But if i try to access as below with the index number, it works.

foreach ($names as &$name)
{
    echo $name[0]->ID;

}

The problem with the above method is it will just give one, but i want to loop through and get all the contents.

 

I know its something really basic that i ma missing but would appreciate your help.

Many Thanks,

T

Looks like you have arrays within arrays. Do two foreachs. And figure out why you thought there was only one array of stuff because that suggests you aren't completely aware of what is going on.

The thing is i am getting the result from an external web service, I am just trying to figure out how i can best consume it.

What's the structure of the data being returned, and what is your code to load it into objects?

Hi,

 

I have just done print_r($names) and it returns back below.

 

$names= $names->GetResult;

print_r($names);

 

and it returns below.

 

stdClass Object ( [Reult] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [iD] => 1 [testid2] => 2 [TypeID] => 4 [Title] => test [Description] => test [Date] => 2016-01-07 )  [1] => stdClass Object ( [iD] => 2 [testid2] => 3 [TypeID] => 5 [Title] => test22 [Description] => test222 [Date] => 2016-01-07)

 

Thanks

So what you have is an object containing an array of objects, you need to iterate through each level.

so:

 

$nameObj = $names->GetResult;
foreach($nameObj as $nameArray){
  foreach($nameArray as $dataObj){
    echo $dataObj->ID;
  }
}

Could you mark the thread as Answered if you are happy that there is nothing else to cover?
