Remove index key from Array for accessing to object?
I need to be able to access the term_id value but I don't know the number or index assossiated with the array. How can I access it?
I would to access it like this $value->term_id, right now I need to access it by putting the number after the value ($value->[26]->term_id).
Array
(
[26] => stdClass Object
(
[term_id] => 26
[name] => Night Life.
[slug] => shopping-and-night-life
[term_group] => 0
[term_taxonomy_id] => 28
[taxonomy] => map_categories
[description] => Most of the late night clubs, bars and pubs in Victoria are situated downtown. Here are a few to check out:
[parent] => 0
[count] => 6
[object_id] => 925
)
)

Answer 1

You could use array_values() to "reset" the array indices:
$new = array_values($old);
Would result with
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[term_id] => 26
[name] => Night Life.
[slug] => shopping-and-night-life
[term_group] => 0
[term_taxonomy_id] => 28
[taxonomy] => map_categories
[description] => Most of the late night clubs, bars and pubs in Victoria are situated downtown. Here are a few to check out:
[parent] => 0
[count] => 6
[object_id] => 925
)
)
Regardless of what the previous array index was.

Answer 2

Right now it is an array so you would access it like this: $value[26]->term_id if you don't want to have to put the key you would just need to set another variable equal to the object inside the array:
$value2 = $value[26];
echo $value2->term_id;
If you don't know if the value 26 then use a foreach.
foreach($value as $key => $val) {
$term_id = $val->term_id;
}
Of if you know there is only one element in the array you could do this:
$value2 = end($value);
$term_id = $value2->term_id;

You have to either search for it OR write an algorithm whereby you do not lose it in the first place.
