get values from multidimensional array with objects

Question

I've used a little script for importing mt940 files (file of dutch bank transactions).

This is the array I get back but I need a little bit help to get the right values out of the array.

This key for example gives me the name and the address:

[accountName:Transaction_banking:private] => V. DE JONG KERKSTRAAT 1154 1234 BW

This key gives me the transaction price:

[price:Transaction_banking:private] => 0.56

Any suggestions?

Those are private properties of Transaction_banking and Statement_banking classes. What do the classes look like? There probably is a method for retrieving the data. — MrCode

Normally you would access the address and transaction price as:

foreach( $yourArray[0]->_transactions as $transaction ) {
    $foo = $transaction->accountName;
    $bar = $transaction->price;
}

But in this particular case, some of your fields are private, meaning that you can't access their value directly. You could try defining your own Statement_banking and Transaction_banking classes and define accessor methods for those fields, such as:

public class Statement_banking {
    public function getTransactions() {
        return $this->_transactions;
    }
}

public class Transaction_banking {
    public function getAccountName() {
        return $this->accountName;
    }

    public function getPrice() {
        return $this->price;
    }
}

Then your loop code becomes this:

foreach( $yourArray[0]->getTransactions() as $transaction ) {
    $foo = $transaction->getAccountName();
    $bar = $transaction->getPrice();
}

If you want to iterate over the outer array as well, you can expand it to:

foreach( $yourArray as $statement ) {
    foreach( $statement->getTransactions() as $transaction ) {
        $foo = $transaction->getAccountName();
        $bar = $transaction->getPrice();
    }
}

Logically You need to use nested foreach or for loop, Not sure about syntax but below PHP code may help you and then you may convert in required language

  $outputArr = Is your array.
  foreach ( $outputArr as $firstchild){
   forach ( $firstchild as $key => $secondchildvalue){
     // $key is basically your key value [price:Transaction_banking:private]
     // $secondchildvalue is your info value 0.56
   }
  }

This won't work. They are private properties, price:Transaction_banking:private is not the key. The whole point of them being private is so you can't directly access them outside the class.
