I'm obtaining information from the Facebook Graph API that returns an array that contains several stdClass Objects. I can easily read the "top" level items such as $myGraph['id'] = 123111193 in the example below.

Can anyone show me how to get data from the stdClass Objects, for example School Name in the following example created with print_r()?

    Array
    (
        [id] => 123111193
        [education] => Array
    (
        [0] => stdClass Object
            (
                [school] => stdClass Object
                    (
                        [id] => 108177302537907
                        [name] => State College Area High School
                    )

                [type] => High School
                [year] => stdClass Object
                    (
                        [id] => 117615364954534
                        [name] => 1975
                    )

            )

        [1] => stdClass Object
            (
                [concentration] => Array
                    (
                        [0] => stdClass Object
                            (
                                [id] => 193334910691838
                                [name] => Individual and Family Studies
                            )

                    )

                [school] => stdClass Object
                    (
                        [id] => 113618111985274
                        [name] => Pennsylvania State University
                    )

to get the first school name this should work: $array['education'][0]->school->name – skroczek Mar 1 at 22:30

$array['education'][0]->school->name works PERFECTLY!!! Thanks VERY much!! – Fred Nelson Mar 2 at 2:41

<?php

foreach($mainArray['education'] as $edObj) 
{
     echo $edObj->school->name;
}

This is not working with my FB object. The test "is_object" is never true since the type is an array. If I change it to "is_array" it evaluates as true yet there is no output. Any ideas would greatly help - Thanks!!!! – Fred Nelson Mar 2 at 2:43
    
Sorry about that -- I had just woken up earlier when I posted this. Revised. – Patrick Webster Mar 2 at 8:25
    
While this may answer the question it’s always a good idea to put some text in your answer to explain what you're doing. Read how to write a good answer. – jurgemaister Mar 2 at 9:22

Nothing fancy. If you have an std object called $foo and it has a $bar member, then you refer to it as $foo->bar. Example:

foreach ($mainArray["education"] as $value) {
    echo $value->school->name;
}
