extracting variable values from object

[parktek08]

I am connecting to a web service thru soap client like
$results = $client->search(array("developerKey" => $developerKey,
"websiteId" => $websiteId,
"advertiserSku" => 'N82E16858191069'));

print_r($results);

this outputs something like this to my browser:

stdClass Object ( [out] => stdClass Object ( [count] => 1 [offset] => 0 [products] => stdClass Object ( [Product] => stdClass Object ( [adId] => 10440897 [advertiserId] => 182344 [advertiserName] => test.com [buyUrl] =>

http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-1044089...c=AFC-C8Junction-_-PS+-58191069&cjsku=8191069

[catalogId] => cjo:1460 [currency] => USD [description] => MLAN [imageUrl] =>

[inStock] => [isbn] => [manufacturerName] => N [manufacturerSku] => 980-0054-R01 [name] => America [price] => 9 [retailPrice] => 0 [salePrice] => 9.99 [sku] => 1069 [upc] => ) ) [totalResults] => 1 ) )

I want to be able to retrieve the values of invidual variables [buyUrl] or [advertiserName] as string and insert in to db. I have tried many things like get_object_vars, extract, and few other things but nothing seems to work. any help would be appreicated. thanks

Looks to me like that's just a standard array, so something like this should work for you:

$buyURl=$results['buyURL'];

$advertiserName=$results['advertiserName'];

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

nope. I tried that and it comes back with this:
Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array

Hi

$buyURl=$results[red]->[/red]buyURL;

$advertiserName=$results[red]->[/red]advertiserName;

I tried
print_r ($results->buyUrl);
print_r ($results->advertiserName);
which does not output anything on the browser.

actually i think the object is a bit more complex than it looks at first glance.

the data looks to be a couple of object-layers deep

$advertiserName = $results->products->product->advertiserName
$buyUrl = $results->products->product->buyUrl;

Hi

Nice catch, jpadie. However I count one more level there :

$advertiserName = $results[red]->out[/red]->products->Product->advertiserName;
$buyUrl = $results[red]->out[/red]->products->Product->buyUrl;

parktek08, in the future please do not post structured data as character flow. Use line breaks and indentation just as [tt]print_r()[/tt]] does.

absolutely.

Yikes!, how did I miss that? sorry about that.

That's what I get for looking at code before going to bed.

thanks guys. it worked. ie outputs that objects the same way I pasted. it looks like a long string. but if I view source html of the output page then it displays it as structured object. I will be more carefull next time.
thanks for your response and time.

html is white space agnostic. if you want the object to look nice on the page surround the output in <pre> tags

echo "<pre>".print_r($obj, true) . "</pre>";
