stdClass Object - get_object_vars

[juglesh]

hello, i have a d/l'd class that gives an array which prints like this:

stdClass Object
(
[first name]] => stdClass Object
(
[inputtype] => text
[value] =>
[debug] => fisrt name
[validate] => yes
)

[Buttons\0]] => stdClass Object
(
[Count] => 41
[Button] => click
)

)

i cannot seem to access the values using
$thearray['first name']['inputtype']
messed with get_object_vars () a bit, but didnt get past the first
dimension.

I'm calling the class like so:

$ini = new Ini('forms.ini' );
$ini->parse();
$thearray= $ini->get();

echo "<pre>";
print_r($thearr ay);
echo "</pre>";


Here is the class, oh, and maybe someone can see why it's putting two
end brackets on the [first name]], etc.

}

return $this->_data;
}

if ((substr($data, 0, 1) == '[') AND (substr($data, -1) == ']')) {
$this->_last_sectio n = substr($data, 1, (strlen($data) - 1));
return;
}

// entry
$pos = strpos($data, '=');
if ($pos !== FALSE) { // boolean false
// set name
$name = substr($data, 0, $pos);

// set value
$value = substr ($data, ($pos + 1), (strlen($data) - $pos - 1));

// check for comma's and spaces in value, if so make array of it
if (strpos($value, ", ")) {
$list = explode (",", $value);

// unset value
$value = array();

// loop through values and add them to array
foreach ($list as $val) {
$value[] = trim($val);
}
}

// store value
$this->_data->{$this->_last_sectio n}->$name = $value;
}
}

function get() {
return $this->_data;
}
}
?>

This is not an array, but an object

This works for arrays For objects, you should do this as follows:

$theobject->{'first name'}->inputtype;

Note that I used curly braces here because 'first name' contains a space
character.

If this wasn't the case, you could do it like this:

$theobject->firstname->inputtype;

$this->_last_sectio n = substr($data, 1, - 1);

BTW, you should also take a look at the parse_ini_file function:

both suggestions work fine, thank you very much. in fact, the first
fix didnt work till I did the second.[color=blue]

i am aware of this, thanks. The main reason i liked the class above
was:
// check for comma's and spaces in value, if so make array of it
if (strpos($value, ", ")) {
$list = explode (",", $value);
though, really, I could just send the results of parse-ini-file through
that. Also, for this thing i'm doing, I might need even more
dimensions with named keys, so, I guess I'll need to modify the code to
look for [key] within the values, etc.
