session object

beedie

I am trying to understand a session object.
If this is the

var_dump(session['cart'])

with one item in it:

object(shoppingCart)#4 (9) { ["contents"]=>  array(1) { ["20:bc427151058b4d54c4cb069e9db1fba7"]=>  array(2) { ["qty"]=>  string(1) "1" ["attributes"]=>  array(3) { [0]=>  string(2) "96" [6]=>  string(3) "299" [7]=>  string(3) "300" } } } ["total"]=>  float(27.95) ["weight"]=>  int(1) ["cartID"]=>  string(5) "34757" ["content_type"]=>  string(8) "physical" ["free_shipping_item"]=>  int(0) ["free_shipping_weight"]=>  int(0) ["free_shipping_price"]=>  int(0) ["observers"]=>  array(0) { } }

how do i access the attributes for the item?
I think it should be simple something like $_SESSION['cart']->contents->attributes

Like any other object...

$_SESSION['cart']->contents[0]['qty'];/

I have tried what you wrote.
Beginner in the world of objects here. Syntax problem

$test = $_SESSION['cart']->contents[0]['attributes'];
echo $test;

doesn't work for me. I have tried a number of combinations of syntax.
What I am looking for is to see if in this(the attribute part of the object)

{ [0]=> string(2) "96" [6]=> string(3) "299" [7]=> string(3) "300" }

there is the 6 which is an id and the 299 is a value to that id. In this you see it is there i need to check that the cart does or doesn't have any items with that attribute.
The line above comes from a var_dump of the cart session
Help Please.
