How to access object properties with names like integers?

Question

I am using json_decode() something like:

$myVar = json_decode($data)

Which gives me output like this:

[highlig         


        

Answer 1

If an object begins with @ like:

SimpleXMLElement Object (
    [@attributes] => Array (
        [href] => qwertyuiop.html
        [id] => html21
        [media-type] => application/xhtml+xml
    )
)

You have to use:

print_r($parent_object->attributes());

because $parent_object->{'@attributes'} or $parent_object['@attributes'] won't work.
