Get Element from Array

Question

Firstly sorry If I didn't write the title correct because I really cant explain it that good.

Okay so I'm making a twitter app and I used this code

if(!empty($_SESSION['username'])){
    $twitteroauth = new TwitterOAuth('MY PRIVATE CODE', 'MY PRIVATE CODE',     $_SESSION['oauth_token'], $_SESSION['oauth_secret']);
}

$home_timeline = $twitteroauth->get('/statuses/user_timeline');
print_r($home_timeline);

I connected it with my twitter account and this isn't the full code, part of it. So this echos.

Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [created_at] => Wed Oct 10 19:27:42 +0000 2012 [id] => 256113796215603202 [id_str] => 256113796215603202 [text] => Testing a few thing on my twitter app. ) )

And it prints a few other stuff in the array but I cut it. How do I get the value of the text from the array text? Where it says [text] I would like to have the value of it?

I've spent atleast 30 minutes searching and I couldn't find the answer. If it is a simple function already made by php then can you please tell me. If it is a long line of code can you tell me.

echo $home_timeline[0]->text

I think you are getting tripped up on the fact that you have an array with an object in it. when you access the array[0] you are now interacting with an Object.

the print_r is showing you that [text] is not an index in the array so:

array['text'] does not exist. [text] is a property of the stdObject.

so to get the text it would just be $yourArray[0]->text.

note: if you put your print_r or var_dumps between <pre> </pre> tags then they will look better and be less confusing

first convert the object into an array like,

 $array = (array) $home_timeline[0];

then access your array keys, by using array_keys.

   $keys = array_keys($array);

I believe OP is looking to access the value. Your code will only return [0].

If you have multiple statuses in the $home_timeline you would do something like this:

foreach($home_timeline as $status) {
    $hereBeYourText = $status->text;
}

Or is there something else you want to achieve?
