Parsing Output from Stripe_Charge Stripe Payments - php

Question

The following output is a result of calling var_export($charge);
How can I access the output of 'paid'=>true from $charge? Any ideas would be appreciated.
I have tried $charge->_values->paid, $charge->paid, etc.. I haven't had any luck.
I have also tried $charge['_values']['paid'];
Stripe_Charge::__set_state(array(
'_apiKey' => 'sk_test_BPZyFpcAM',
'_values' =>
array (
'id' => 'ch_102kMF29T6',
'object' => 'charge',
'created' => 1381688,
'livemode' => false,
'paid' => true,
'amount' => 104000,

'refunded' => false,
'card' =>

Answer 1

You can use the __toArray($recursive = false) function to get the data in array form.
Example:
$chargeArray = $charge->__toArray(true);
echo $chargeArray['paid'];
I was also able to access the object's data using an array structure before even converting to an array. For me, $charge['paid'] gets me the value.

Answer 2

you can use __toArray() method:
$array = $collection->__toArray(true);
This will work for this case

Answer 3

whatever returns please parse it with json_decode and you will get a assoc array in php
i.e suppose return array is $ret
$ret = json_decode($ret);
$ret->paid;
$ret->captured;
$ret->card->id;
and so on..
Hope it will help you.

Answer 4

echo gettype($charge->paid); //boolean
var_dump($charge->paid); //bool(true)
if($charge->paid==true)echo "==true"; //==true
if($charge->paid===true)echo "===true"; //===true
if($charge->paid==1)echo "==1"; //==1
if($charge->paid===1)echo "===1"; //nada, it's a boolean, not numeric
So using if($charge->paid===true), you should be guaranteed that you are testing what you want to know.
Here in the output via print_r, you can see that paid is displayed as 1.
[_values:protected] => Array ( [id] => ch_10as29724hknftGBm9TxC [object] => charge [created] => 1384696845 [livemode] => [paid] => 1 [amount] => 1400
Thus, depending on where and how paid is being evaluated, it may appear as a number, string, or a boolean. You could run a series of tests for the three possibilities, or just use if($charge->paid){...}
When paid is false, it would probably be returned as empty (""), 0, or a boolean false. A possible thing to look out for is the boolean false being transposed to a string, in which case it would be interpreted as true.
$val = "false";
if($val){
echo "true"; //true
}
So, in your test, just add intval($val) to normalize the values and be on the safe side.
if(intval($charge->paid)){...}
