[RESOLVED] Values from stdClass Object

[mitchw]

I've executed a query to a webservice and have returned the following from print_r and stored it in $result. The question is how do I retreive the value of one of the elements -- [AccountId] just as an example? Here's what comes back from the print_r statement:

stdClass Object ( [LastPage] => true [ListOfCustomObject2] => stdClass Object ( [CustomObject2] => stdClass Object ( [OwnerExternalSystemId] => U-ADMIN [MedEdEventExternalSystemId] => [CustomObject3IntegrationId] => [AccountExternalSystemId] => [ActivityExternalSystemId] => [ActivityIntegrationId] => [AccountId] => ADSA-26HLAM [AccountName] => Intel Corporation [CustomObject2Id] => ADSA-26JEC8 [Name] => 131915093 ) ) )

You'd access it just like you would any other object - using the '->' operator. See this manual page for examples of working with objects in PHP5 (I'm assuming you're using PHP5, anyway): [man]oop5.references[/man].

Been there done that using the following:

echo $result->CustomObject2QueryPage->LastPage;

echo $result->LastPage;

both return nothing. Here is the print_r statement that populates $result:

          $result = print_r($ws->CustomObject2QueryPage(array(
 	  'UseChildAnd' => 'true',
 	  'PageSize' => 100,
 	  'ListOfCustomObject2' => array(
	    'CustomObject2' => array(
	      'OwnerExternalSystemId' => '',
  	      'MedEdEventExternalSystemId' => '',
	      'CustomObject3IntegrationId' => '',
	      'CustomObject2Id' => $RowId,
    	      'Name' => '',
 	      'AccountName' => '',
	      'AccountExternalSystemId' => '',
 	      'ActivityExternalSystemId' => '',
	      'ActivityIntegrationId' => '',
	      'AccountId' => ''
     ), 'Echo' => '',)
), true);

Er, well there's your problem. [man]print_r/man simply outputs a human-readable format of a given variable. $result is just a string containing this output.

So what should I use? Looks like I'm back to my original question -- how do I retreive the value of one of the elements? My task is to get the data and resolve the data pairs into something usable. If I do a var_dump it tells me the data is a stdClass object.

Don't use anything. You've already got the object, you don't need to use anything to get the object.

$result = $ws->CustomObject2QueryPage(array(
 	  'UseChildAnd' => 'true',
 	  'PageSize' => 100,
 	  'ListOfCustomObject2' => array(
	    'CustomObject2' => array(
	      'OwnerExternalSystemId' => '',
  	      'MedEdEventExternalSystemId' => '',
	      'CustomObject3IntegrationId' => '',
	      'CustomObject2Id' => $RowId,
    	      'Name' => '',
 	      'AccountName' => '',
	      'AccountExternalSystemId' => '',
 	      'ActivityExternalSystemId' => '',
	      'ActivityIntegrationId' => '',
	      'AccountId' => ''
     ), 'Echo' => '',)
);

You're right, I just realized the problem. Thanks Weedpacket!
