HubSpot api json decode - php

Question

I am trying to parse some data out of the Hubspot API response. The response looks like this json_decoded:
stdClass Object(
[addedAt] => 1411052909604
[vid] => 24
[canonical-vid] => 24
[merged-vids] => Array

I'm looking specifically to try to dig out an email inside the indentities-profile area.
I've tried to do the following:
echo $results->contacts[0]->identity-profiles;
But it just gives me a value of 0
Then I try to go further into the array by doing:
echo $results->contacts[0]->identity-profiles[0];
But at that point - I get a parse error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '['
What am I doing wrong? And how can I dig all the way down to
identity-profiles[0]->identities->[0]->value
which should equal: test#user.com
What am I missing?

Answer 1

As mentioned in the comment I would suggest to decode the JSON to an associative array by passing true as second parameter to json_decode. Example: json_decode($data, true) Than you could access your identity profiles by:
$results['contacts'][0]['identitiy-profiles']
If you still want to get the results as an object you have to access the properties the following way because they contain a -:
$results->contacts[0]->{'identity-profiles'}
