How can I reach an element in an Object? - php

Question

I'm trying to reach an element in an object array. But I couldn't succeed.
Let's think this as an object called $result
How can I reach maskedNumber?
Braintree_Result_Successful Object
(
[success] => 1
[_returnObjectName:private] => customer
[customer] => Braintree_Customer Object
(
[_attributes:protected] => Array
(
[creditCards] => Array
(
[0] => Braintree_CreditCard Object
(
[_attributes] => Array
(
[maskedNumber] => ***********5897

Answer 1

Since the _attributes property of Braintree_Customer is protected you will need to define an accessor method. The other _attributes property of Braintree_CreditCard also looks like it's supposed to be protected, so I've assumed an identical accessor should exist:
$cards = $object->customer->getAttribute('creditCards');
$number = $cards[0]->getAttribute('maskedNumber');
Accessor method to be placed in both classes:
function getAttribute($attribute) {
return $this->_attributes[$attribute];
}
Edit:
Just to improve upon my original answer a little, I would put some decent error checking in an actual accessor method.
function getAttribute($attribute) {
if (isset($this->_attributes[$attribute])) {
return $this->_attributes[$attribute];
}
return NULL;
}
You could also consider using the magic methods __get() and __set() to act as getters and setters.

I solved the problem by asking braintreepayments. They said that I could retrieve this data after I add user to braintree. But my solution is if I really needed this at the very beginning would be to take it with REGEX. For people who are looking for a great online payment company I suggest you to go with braintree

Answer 3

I know this is old, but this might help some.
Braintree has methods for returning the protected information that's returned from functions like Braintree_Customer::create();
$result = Braintree_Customer::create(array(
'firstName' => $_POST['first_name'],
'lastName' => $_POST['last_name'],
'email' => $_POST['email'],
'creditCard' => array(
'cardholderName' => $_POST['cardholder_name'],
'number' => $_POST['number'],
'expirationMonth' => $_POST['month'],
'expirationYear' => $_POST['year'],
'cvv' => $_POST['cvv'],
'billingAddress' => array(
'postalCode' => $_POST['postal_code']
)
)
));
var_dump($result->customer->__get('id'));
var_dump($result->customer->__get('creditCards'));
The _attributes of customer are protected, but the get function returns them.
This method does not require re-requesting data from Braintree.

Answer 4

try
$Result->customer->_attributes['creditCards'][0]->_attributes['maskedNumber']

Answer 5

with $result->customer you should get the *Braintree_Customer* Object and then in that object you should have methods to retrieve the cards as those methods are protected and cannot be accessed directly. Something like
$customer = $result->customer;
foreach($customer->getCreditCards() as $card)
{
echo $card->getMaskedNumber(); // You will need to create that method too
}
Example of getCreditCards method:
Class Braintree_Customer
{
protected $creditCards;
function getCreditCards()
{
return $creditCards;
}
...
}
