How to access array inside array

Question

I have something like this. I want to access "name" attribute. I can access it by

foreach($items as $item)
{echo $item->name}

I have tried echo $items[0]['name'] but it doesn't work.

    Array 
   ( 
      [0] => stdClass Object 
        ( 
               [term_id] => 7 
               [name] => Video/Animacija 
               [slug] => videoanimacija 
               [term_group] => 0 
               [term_taxonomy_id] => 7 
               [taxonomy] => portfolio_technologies 
               [description] => 
               [parent] => 0 
               [count] => 17 [filter] => raw 
         ) 
    )

You need to use the object syntax on name there as well.

echo $items[0]->name;

should work. Remember, you have the following structures

an array (access via [])
an object (access via ->)

$item[0] is a std object, and you cannot access to its value using brackets: [], you should use arrow: ->

Like this :

$item[0]->name

You have an array of objects, not an array of arrays. You need to do this:

$variable = $items[0]->name;

You don't have an array inside an array, you have an object inside an array. You need to access it like:

echo $items[0]->name;
