Talking to Arrays - print_r

[nimzie]

I make a call to print_r ($row); in my application. I want to access the item_title and ask

 

if ( $row->item_title == 1 ) {

Do whatever

}

 

I don't seem to have the syntax correct or understand how I would address each level of the array. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

use a foreach loop, running this code might help you understand how it works

 

<?php
//the object name is $myObject

foreach ($myObject as $key => $val) {
//goes through the whole object
// you can access each key or title with $key
//you can access each value or item with $val
echo "$key => $val<br>\r\n";
}
?>

I just want to check the setting for item_title in $row which is the object I am outputting in that print_r.

 

I want to check and see if it's set to 1 and if so, do whatever. I'm more wondering the syntax of what I shoudl be doing cause nothing seems to be working...

 

Thanks

If this is a simple array, you CAN do this:

 

$value = $some_array["title"];
//do whatever you want with $value...

 

If you're looking for a more generalized function for an object that you convert to an array, w/e... I'm sure something like this helps:

 

function get_value($array,$key){
foreach($array as $index=>$value){
if($index == $key){return $value;}
}
return false;
}

 

Simple function that can get other types of keys for you... So, taking your array for instance (let's call it $some_array)

 

$value = get_value($some_array,"title");
//do whatever you want with $value...

Hmm, upon further investigation, this is an object. It is a joomla core object called mosParameters. I'm still figuring out how to address the individual members of the object.

 

I'll get er. Any suggestions appreciated.

 

Cheers!

$obj->member;
