Cannot access php stdClass property on std class object - php

Question

I'm passing an ACF std class object of values to a function as a value and when trying to read it in the function, it shows up as an object but when I try to access a property Notice: Trying to get property "type" of non-object
function createACFProductLicenses($acfData, $propertyString){
$newData = array();
if(isset($acfData->{$propertyString})){
$data = (array)$acfData->{$propertyString};
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
print_r($value);
// prints out
// stdClass Object
// (
// [type] => standard
// [item_id] => 727
// )
print_r($value->type); // errors out -> Notice: Trying to get property 'type' of non-object
}
}
}
// example of how I'm calling it:
// $product['acf'] is an stdClass of acf properties
createACFProductLicenses($product['acf'], 'product_licenses');

Answer 1

The "foreach" set the data structure to $key=>$value or [type] is a $key and "standard" is a $value so you can't print $value->type because the object is actually 'type' => 'standard'.
Also, know that the "foreach" will run your code for each item on the object like for ana array, so you can't just print a specific value when you have different $key.
If you want to display all the items use this:
print_r($key.':'.$value) // this will print: type : standard
Or if you want to only print the [Type] item Try this out:
insted of this
if(isset($acfData->{$propertyString})){
$data = (array)$acfData->{$propertyString};
foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
print_r($value->type); // errors out -> Notice: Trying to get property 'type' of non-object
}
}
}
Try this
if(isset($acfData->{$propertyString})){
$data = (array)$acfData->{$propertyString};
print_r($data['type']);
}
}
I hope this will help, let me know if it didn't work.
