What kind of object is this and how can I parse it?

[southbeach]

I get a response from soap call and dump to variable like so

$resp = $link->getResponse($dataString);

The content of $resp looks like this

object(getLTLRateEstimateResponse)#20 (1) {
  ["return":protected]=>
  object(myLTLRateResponse)#21 (11) {
    ["rateEstimate":protected]=>
    object(estimateDetail)#25 (11) {
      ["accessorialCharges":protected]=>
      NULL
      ["discountAmount":protected]=>
      string(7) "3044.62"
      ["discountPercentage":protected]=>
      string(5) "82.00"
      ["discountedFreightCharge":protected]=>
      string(6) "668.33"
      ["fuelSurcharge":protected]=>
      string(6) "139.15"
      ["grossFreightCharge":protected]=>
      string(7) "3712.95"
      ["guaranteedServiceOption":protected]=>
      string(6) "201.86"
      ["internationalCharge":protected]=>
      string(4) "0.00"
      ["netFreightCharge":protected]=>
      string(6) "807.48"
      ["totalAccessorialCharge":protected]=>
      string(4) "0.00"
      ["variableAccessorialRate":protected]=>
      bool(false)
    }
    ["destinationCities":protected]=>
    array(1) {
      [0]=>
      object(city)#22 (2) {
        ["name":protected]=>
        string(33) "HOLLYWOOD                        "
        ["serviceDays":protected]=>
        int(3)
      }
    }
    ["destinationInterlineCarrierName":protected]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["destinationInterlineScac":protected]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["errorMessages":protected]=>
    NULL
    ["originatingInterlineCarrierName":protected]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["originatingInterlineScac":protected]=>
    string(0) ""
    ["referenceNumber":protected]=>
    string(8) "62264866"
    ["success":protected]=>
    bool(true)
  }
}

I have tried $resp->getLTLRateEstimateResponse ... and it does not work, says that I am trying to access an undefined property.

I cannot even tell what kind of object this is: XML, stdClass, etc. !!!???!!!

As usual, your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

It is just an 'object' aka a 'class instantiator' so doesn't have a particular 'kind'.

OK - but how can I parse it.

It appears that I cannot obtain any value since they are all protected. I set a simple class

class getLTLRateEstimateResponse
{
   
    public function __construct($GetRateQuoteResult)
    {
      $this->GetRateQuoteResult = $GetRateQuoteResult;
    }

    public function getReturn()
    {
      return $this->return;
    }

    public function setReturn($return)
    {
      $this->return = $return;
      return $this;
    }

}

I then ran

$ltlResp = new getLTLRateEstimateResponse($results);
$ltlResp->setReturn($ltlResp->return);
var_dump($ltlResp->getReturn());

but I get error

<b>Fatal error</b>:  Cannot access protected property getLTLRateEstimateResponse::$return

So, how can I get the value of return and any property within?

Hi

In my interpretation $resp itself is an object of class getLTLRateEstimateResponse, so is more likely you need $resp->myLTLRateResponse instead.

Regarding the properties being [tt]protected[/tt], you should not worry, probably a magic method is set up to automate the access. That part is either documented, or you have to try some common syntax variants :

var_dump($resp->myLTLRateResponse);
var_dump($resp->myLTLRateResponse[blue]()[/blue]);
var_dump($resp->[blue]get[/blue][navy]M[/navy]yLTLRateResponse[blue]()[/blue]);

"protected" items in the class can only be accessed from within the class and inheritors

eg; $this -> discountAmount

Or you can use get_object_vars

No matter what I try, I cannot get to the values.

After reading up, I modified my code to instantiate a class

$resp = new getLTLRateEstimateResponse( $link->getLTLRateEstimate($trx) );

Where

$link->getLTLRateEstimate($trx)

returns the above shown object (see my original post). The class getLTLRateEstimateResponse has a construct method

    public function __construct($GetRateQuoteResult)
    {
      $this->getRateQuoteResult = $GetRateQuoteResult;
    }

Now, I figure I should have access to the properties/object in its totality by using a set of getters like

    public function getRateEstimate() {
        return $this->getRateQuoteResult->return->rateEstimate;
    }

but I still get the same error - cannot access protected properties.

@feherke, I tried your suggestions but error of undefined ... comes up.

I keep coming back to this and try for a couple of hours at a time - I feel as if I've made a bit of progress but really, I just gotten a better understanding of these filters but no progress at all.

What really confuses me is if the rule is that the protected properties can only be accessed within the class, why then is it not working when I attempt to use getRateEstimate() as shown above?

Define methods or properties in the derived object that can access the 'protected' values and return the value. You cannot get the protected values from the 'parent' object because of the 'protected' status, so you have to override it in the 'child'.

Matt Doyle has a good tutorial on Elated for OOPHP inheritance.
