$t JSON php in a loop

Question

From JSON I get:

stdClass Object ( [$t] => 2011-12-12T13:00:00.000Z )

How can I get this date out using PHP?

I tried: feed->item->'$t' and that did not work...

This should work:

$t = $feed->item->{'$t'};

Beware: This will only work with single quotes, because PHP does variable interpolation on strings with double quotes.

I also find it easier to just work with arrays json_decode($json, true).

You need to use {} to get properties in that way.

$feed->item->{'$t'}

Try:

$item = $feed->item->{$t};

The {$notation} allows you to use vars as object names.

In this case the property is literally '$t'.
