How do I access this PHP variable (object->array->object)?

Question

I have an object that looks like this:

Foo_Transaction Object (
    [_attributes] => Array (
            [id] => abcdefg
            [orderId] => 
            [createdAt] => DateTime Object (
                    [date] => 2015-03-05 18:57:48.000000
                )

I can access id with $result->transaction->id just fine.

However, trying to access the date data with $result->transaction->createdAt->date returns NULL. Am I doing it wrong?

It's a DateTime object so you need to use DateTime::format() to get that date value as a string:

echo $result->transaction->createdAt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Because createdAt is a DateTime PHP object. To get this date as a string:

$result->transaction->createdAt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')

See the documentation of the date() function for the accepted date formatting parameters.
