The json format.
{
"message-count":"1",
"messages":[
{
"status":"returnCode",
"error-text":"error-message"
}
]
}
In php, I successfully get "status" value with $response->messages[0]->status
But when I wanted to access "error-text" properties, the code $response->messages[0]->error-text gives me error.
How to access object properties with hyphen?

here is the way!
$object->{"message-count"};
$response->messages[0]->{'error-text'};
hope this helps
any string (bytes sequence) can be used as a class field
$object->{"123"} = 10; // numbers
$object->{"{a}"} = 10; // special characters
$object->{"òòèè"} = 10; // non ascii characters

Use the {} syntax:
echo $response->messages[0]->{'error-text'};

Please, use standard PHP feature - accessing variables within curly braces:
class t {}
$a = new t();
$a->{"o-o"} = 1;
echo $a->{"o-o"};
So, you need to write $response->messages[0]->{"error-text"}.

Using braces with dynamic variable names in PHP
(9 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I'm working on someone else's PHP code and my IDE (PHPstorm) is flagging this line with the error Cannot use [] for reading. The code works fine, but I'm trying to understand why with my limited PHP skills. I've seen double dollar signs in other files and with no error.
$somevar = ($test_me) ? "some-class" : "some-other-class";
$$somevar[] = $some_value; // $somevar[] is flagged
This is not the answer to your problem but what me and most other think you should do.
Switch to an array, that way you have one variable with everything that is variable in it.
You can loop the array to find what you need and you don't allocate variable names that may conflict with other variables.
$some_value =1;
$test_me = true;
$somevar = ($test_me) ? "some-class" : "some-other-class";
$arr[$somevar] = $some_value;
var_dump($arr);
This results in an associative array with the key "some-class" and value 1.
Use curly brackets { } for interpolation :
$somevar = "some-other-class";
${$somevar}[] = "foo";
var_dump(${$somevar});
Output :
array(1) {
[0] => string(3) "foo"
}

PHP - auto assign a different name to a variable of variable [duplicate]

Using braces with dynamic variable names in PHP

Using PHP variable variables with mysqli_fetch_assoc to auto-format variables like $column_name="some_value" (code below):
while ($account_row=mysqli_fetch_assoc($account_results))
{
foreach ($account_row as $key=>$value)
{
$$key=trim(stripslashes($value));
}
}
So if I have a column "username" and row value "someuser", this code creates:
$username="someuser";
However, in some cases I need variable names to be DIFFERENT from column names. For example, I need code to create:
$username_temp="someuser";
How could I do that? Using this code gives an error:
$$key."_temp"=trim(stripslashes($value));
No other ideas in my head.
change $$key."_temp" to ${$key."_temp"} have a look on below solution:
$value = 'test';
$key="someuser";
${$key."_temp"}=$value;
echo $someuser_temp; //output test
Please try this ${$key . "_temp"} = trim(stripslashes($value));

Get json object's value in php if its name contains dots in PHP [duplicate]

php object attribute with dot in name
(5 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have a json like the following
{"root":{
"version":"1",
"lastAlarmID":"123",
"proUser":"1",
"password":"asd123##",
"syncDate":"22-12-2014",
"hello.world":"something"
}
}
After json_decode(), I can get all the values except that of the last one hello.world, since it contain a dot.
$obj->root->hello.world doesn't work. I got solutions for doing it in Javascript but I want a solution in php.
$obj->root->{'hello.world'} will work.
ps: $obj->root->{hello.world} might not work.
b.t.w: Why not use Array? json_decode($json, true) will return Array. Then $a['root']['hello.world'] will always work.
You have two options here:
First option: convert the object to an array, and either access the properties that way, or convert the name to a safe one:
<?php
$array = (array) $obj;
// access the value here
$value = $array['hello.world'];
// assign a safe refernce
$array[hello_world] = &$array['hello.world'];
Second option: use quotes and brakets:
<?php
$value = $obj->root->{'hello.world'};
This is working
echo $test->root->{'hello.world'};
Check example
<?php
$Data='{"root":{
"version":"1",
"lastAlarmID":"123",
"proUser":"1",
"password":"asd123##",
"syncDate":"22-12-2014",
"hello.world":"something"}
}';
$test=json_decode($Data);
print_r($test);
echo $test->root->{'hello.world'};
?>
Output
something
You can use variable variables (http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php):
$a = 'hello.world';
$obj->root->$a;

Assigning value to dynamic object's property [duplicate]

How do I dynamically write a PHP object property name?
(5 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
This is not only tricky to explain, but tricky to do:
I'm trying to access and replace
$myObject->customField[0] = "some value";
but if I do
$str = "customField";
$myObject->$str[0] = "some value";
That doesn't work and if I do
$str = "customField";
$obj = $myObject->$str;
$obj[0];
That won't work either. I can change the values if I don't do this dynamically but I'm having to loop through a lot so doing it dynamic will be very helpful.
EDIT (answer)
Turns out curly braces does the trick. ie
$str = "customField";
$myObject->{$str}[0] = "some value";
Why do you want to have dynamic property names? The best answer is: don't do it this way. Consider using an associative array instead:
$myObject->customFields = array();
$myObject->customFields[$str] = "some value";

Is there anyway to have various levels for php enumerations? [duplicate]

Enumerations on PHP
(39 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
Does anyone know for php AbstractEnumeration if there is any way to do another level underneath it?
so like...
const a = 'a';
const b = 'b';
But I have an optional parameter for a:
const a = 'a' => '=123'
I know this is probably going to end up as a hash table instead, but just wondering what interesting things I can do with php enums.
PHP doesn't support native Enumerations.
You do something like:
abstract class ErrorCode
{
const NOT_FOUND = 404;
const OK = 200;
// etc.
}
$error = ErrorCode::NOT_FOUND;
This won't work in PHP:
const a = 'a' => '=123'
you could serialize the object as an array:
# serialize data into an array
define ("a", serialize (array ("a" => 123)));
# use it wherever you want
$a = unserialize (a);
