Help interpreting print_r result...

[tthdoc]

I am working on modifying some code and wanted to check some variables, but am stuck on something that is probably simple, just over my head.  If I do the following:

 

print_r ($this);

 

I get this result (I used PRE tags to format it)

 

ViewList Object

(

    [_name] => list

    [_models] => Array

        (

           

• => ModelList Object
                  (
                      [_data] => Array
                          (
                              [0] => stdClass Object
                                  (
                                      [id] => 70
                                      [catid] => 1
                                      etc......
   
  Moving down, I typed this...
   
  print_r ($this->_models);
   
  and get this...
   
  Array
  (
     
  • => ModelList Object
            (
                [_data] => Array
                    (
                        [0] => stdClass Object
                            (
                                [id] => 70
                                [catid] => 1
     
    How would I get, for instance, the id?  If I try print_r($this->_models->list);  nothing happens.  In other words, if I wanted to return the id, what would it be --  $this->_models->??? .  I tried all kinds of combination's and other ways to do it, just can't figure it out.  I know it is my limited knowledge with PHP , so could someone point me in the right direction.
     
    Thanks,

Have you tried:

 

$this->_models[0]->_data[0]->id;

 

?

 

Not sure. There should really be some getters and setters for this kind of thing. managing multiple objects can become needlessly complex without them.

Thanks for the quick reply, but no it does not work.  I realized when I looked at the post it stripped out some of the text.  So I am going to try to use the php tags around it. 

 

Here is the $this...

 

ViewList Object
(
    [_name] => list
    [_models] => Array
        (
            [list] => ModelList Object
                (
                    [_data] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => stdClass Object
                                (
                                    [id] => 70
                                    [catid] => 1

 

And here is the $this->models...

 

Array
(
    [list] => ModelList Object
        (
            [_data] => Array
                (
                    [0] => stdClass Object
                        (
                            [id] => 70
                            [catid] => 1

 

Hopefully it does not remove anything this time.  It is the list surrounded by brackets that is throwing me...

 

Thanks again.

Ahh now i see. Yeh, it missed out the list part. Should be:

 

$this->_models['list']->_data[0]->id;

 

If it's not that. try to dig even deeper:

 

print_r($this->_models['list']);

 

print_r($this->_models['list']->_data);

 

etc

Thanks so much, that did it.
