php reading value from an array

Question

I have an array and I am trying to access the value for message. I think it is throwing me off because it is an array of objects within an object. Below is what I have tried and the data structure.

Code:

foreach ($result as $value) {

         echo "$value[0]->message"; 
}

Array:

stdClass Object
(
    [results] => Array
        (
            [0] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [message] => 12345
                    [unit] => test
                    [createdAt] => 2013-01-21T14:57:26.613Z
                    [updatedAt] => 2013-01-21T14:57:26.613Z
                    [objectId] => 0uiYuJcRYY
                )

        )

)

Remove quotes

foreach ($result as $value) {

         echo $value[0]->message; 
}

If their were multiple objects in the list, how would I access each of them? Would it be another foreach statement within the foreach statement?

Hanky Panky Over a year ago

yes, if $value from your loop contained another array of objects then to print them all you would need to run another loop on those

@JonErickson You are most welcome. I must appreciate that you were almost there yourself, so this is almost your own answer. It was just a matter of quotation marks.

There are two pobable mistakes.

1 - Probable the variable are $results and not $result 2 - If you are using foreach, you don't need the [0], because this is the variable $value now.

try

foreach ($results as $value) {
    echo $value->message; 
}
