php - accessing class object properties like associative array

Question

so i'm having a php class like the following:

class myClass
{
    function __construct()
    {
        $this->chart_data = array(1,2,3,4,5);
        $this->captions   = array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");
    }
}

is there a way to access the properties the same way like an associative array, like:

$obj = new myClass();
echo $obj['chart_data'];
echo $obj['captions'];

thanks!

There is an interface for that: php.net/ArrayAccess Implement its methods, and you're ready to go... — Fracsi

you can try

echo $obj->{'captions'};

Generally, answers are much more helpful if they include an explanation of what the code is intended to do, and why that solves the problem without introducing others.

From this answer you can try like this

$obj = (array) new myClass();
print_r($obj);
