How to create nested php objects

Question

I am trying to create a php object that has the following layer.

$obj->property->name;
$obj->property->title;
$obj->property->id;
$obj->property->height;

It give me 'Trying to get property of non-object' error

My object

$obj = [
   'property' => [
       'name' => 'Rick',
       'title' => 'manager',
       'id' => '123',
       'height' => '5.6'
   ]
];

 $obj = = (object)$obj;

I am not sure the correct syntax to produce $obj->property->name;Can anyone help me out? My brain is fired....Thanks!

$obj is declared as an array, you could just cast (object) on declaration — Kevin

You should cast to object also property:

$obj = [
   'property' => [
       'name' => 'Rick',
       'title' => 'manager',
       'id' => '123',
       'height' => '5.6'
   ]
];

$object = (object)$obj;
$object->property = (object)$object->property;

Result:

var_dump($object->property->id); // string(3) "123"
var_dump($object->property->name); // string(4) "Rick"
// etc.

You have an array inside the property object you can not use like that

$obj->property->name;

This should be:

$obj->property['name'];

Example:

$yourArr = array('property'=>array(
       'name' => 'Rick',
       'title' => 'manager',
       'id' => '123',
       'height' => '5.6'
   ));

$yourObj = (object) $yourArr;
echo $yourObj->property['name']; // Rick
