$var[3] is an object, so $var[3]->name.

That is because that Array is actually an object. Put $var into this function:

function object_to_array($data) 
    {
      if(is_array($data) || is_object($data))
      {
        $result = array(); 
        foreach($data as $key => $value)
        { 
          $result[$key] = object_to_array($value); 
        }
        return $result;
      }
      return $data;
    }

Like so:

$realArray = object_to_array($var);

1 more question how to search values in this array, can I use function in_array ?

Yes you can, it just makes an array of the object you gave it. But I believe in_array doesnt work well with multi-dimensional arrays.

The value under the index 3 is a stdClass object, you will have to use the arrow operator -> to get its values:

print $var[3]->name;

As your $var[3] element is an object, you have to access its properties like this:

echo $var[3]->name;

You could use object_to_array as defined or access the value in following way: $var[3]->name
