How to parse PHP array with stdClass Object

Question

Following is the array with stdClass Object

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [Number] => 5
            [Content] => 00666
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [Number] => 7
            [Content] => 1018456550591052212900797790669502
        )
)

What I want to get value of Content corresponding to Number

eg. For Number 5 get value 00666

Thank in advance.

Can you please add the code for creating that, I am getting confused as to what use as variables! — loveNoHate

I got this array from one of API which has so many children out of only two in example. Here every Number is unique and represent Content. Want function if pass value 5 then it will return Content value 00666 — Sandesh

add this function:

function returnContent($myObjectArray, $number)
{
   foreach($myObjectArray as $obj){
      if ($obj->Number == $number)
         return $obj->Content;
      }
   }
   return "number not in array"; //or some other value to denote an error
}

call the function something like this:

echo returnContent($objArray, 5);

or assign it to a variable:

$content = returnContent($objArray, 5);

just be sure to check if the number existed:

if ($content != "number not in array"){ //or whatever value you assigned to denote a failure
   //do something
}

Object properties are case-sensitive, use Number and Content.

You can make a function for this:

function getContent($needle, $haystack) {
  foreach($haystack as $v) if($needle==$v->Number) return $v->Content;
  return null;
}

To use it use:

$result = getContent(5, $myArray);
if($result===null) die('Value not found.');
// Use result however you want now

$myObjectArray= myObjectArray() // array of objects

foreach($myObjectArray as $val) {
    echo $val->Content;
}

It will print `00666` and `1018456550591052212900797790669502`

He asked for "Content WHERE Number is $number".
