PHP Array not iterating properly, only grabs first result

Question

This is interesting none the less, left me stumped. I have an array of 'order' objects called Workday, if I print_r the array I get the following;

Workday Object
(
    [workday] => Array
        (
            [0] => Order Object
                (
                    [id] => 3
                    [date] => 2013-08-02
                    [username] => userXYZ
                    [number] => 33333333 
                    [duration_start] => 20:51:00
                    [duration_end] => 21:51:00
                    [total] => $340.00
                )

            [1] => Order Object
                (
                    [id] => 3
                    [date] => 2013-08-03
                    [username] => userXXA
                    [number] => 87653212 
                    [duration_start] => 10:51:00
                    [duration_end] => 11:54:00
                    [total] => $20.00
                )

            [2] => Order Object
                (
                    [id] => 3
                    [date] => 2013-08-01
                    [username] => userXYD
                    [number] => 12345678 
                    [duration_start] => 08:37:00
                    [duration_end] => 10:01:00
                    [total] => $10.00
                )

        )

)

The issue seems to be when I try to iterate over the array it only outputs the first result. What am I missing?

$workday = new Workday();
$workday->Get($username, $duration_start, $duration_end);

$i = 0;
if($workday != null)
{
    foreach($workday as $orders)
    {
        echo "ID: " . $orders[$i]->number;
        $i++;
    }
}

Just tried, got Fatal error: Cannot use object of type Workday as array — devfunkd

Are you sure that is not your Get() method that returns only one result? Do you pass $username, $duration_start,$duration_end as search parameters because this might add up why you only receive one result. — Conrad Lotz

Try this

foreach($workday->workday as $orders)
    {
        echo "ID: " . $orders->number;
     }

You need to iterate through the workday member variable of your object

if($workday != null)
{
    foreach($workday['workday'] as $orders)
    {
        echo "ID: " . $orders->number;
    }
}

The error you're getting is telling what's going on: you're trying to use an object as an array. Iterate over $workday->workday instead (which is the array inside your object).

foreach ($workday->workday as $orders) { ... }
