php OOP accessing objects directly - php

Question

I am learning and trying to understand things concerning oop so my question might sound very silly.
I want to be able to get to an object directly like this:
$some_urls = new some_urls;
print_r($some_urls->url()->illegal);
Do I have to add the (object) before each array() inside the function or is there a more efficient way ? Thanks and sorry if it is repeated question, I am looking a long time about this.
class some_urls
{
public function url()
{
return (object)array(
'illegal' => (object)array(
'a_path',
'another_path'
),
'legal' => (object)array(
'a_path',
'another_path'
)
);
}
}
EDIT:
I think I found a better alternative based on some ideas by guys here.
You think this is better ?
$some_urls = new some_urls;
print_r($some_urls->get_url('illegal'));
class some_urls
{
public function get_url($data)
{
$url = $this->url();
return $url[$data];
}
protected function url()
{
return array(
'illegal' => array(
'a_path',
'another_path'
),
'legal' => array(
'a_path',
'another_path'
)
);
}
}

Answer 1

You can make use of the stdClass
$object1 = new stdClass();
$object1->a_path = 'hello';

Answer 2

You have many options.
Option 1. Create a standard class, and then add properties as needed
$obj = new stdclass();
$obj->illegal=new stdclass();
Option 2. Just work with an array.
Option 3. Iterate over your array and create an object.
foreach($url as $key=>$value){//Build your object}
Option 4. Use json_decode
$object = json_decode(json_encode($array), FALSE);
Option 5. Add properties to your class.
public variable illegal
