PHP Array - Retrieve value from Array

Question

I'm using the following to show my Array contents:

var_dump($categories);

Contents:

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  object(stdClass)#114 (16) {
    ["term_id"]=> &string(1)  "3"
    ["name"]=>    &string(10) "Recordings"
    ["slug"]=>    &string(9)  "recording"
  }
}

My Question is, how do I retrieve the slug value?

I had tried $categories[0]["slug"] but with no success.

Many thanks for any guidance.

Answer 1

You can get the slug by using:

$categories[0]->slug;

Because the first element in your array is an object e.g stdClass you have too acces its values like an object.

Answer 2

you would do:

$categories[0]->slug

More than likley this has come from PDO or something, so you may have multiple categories, (hence the name)

you should loop them to get each category like so:

foreach($categores as $category)
{
    echo $category->slug . "\n";
}

Answer 3

var_dump($categories[0]->slug);

Answer 4

echo $categories[0]->slug;

this is object and you have to use something above.
