getting property name of php object

Question

If i have a php object:

  stdClass Object
 (
[userAttributes] => stdClass Object
    (
        [dog] => stdClass Object
            (
                [type] => Canine
                [required] => *
                [options] => 
                [size] => 
            )

        [cat] => stdClass Object
            (
                [type] => Feline
                [required] => *
                [options] => 
                [size] => 
            )
       )
 )

without doing a foreach loop, is it possible to print the value of the children of userAttributes. I want to print "dog" and "cat".

if this was an array:

  $userAttributes['dog'] = array('type'=>'Canine'.....);

i could do key($userAttributes) and get the word dog. is there a php function that does the same thing as key on objects?

You can use get_object_vars:

$properties = get_object_vars( new yourFunction() );

print_r( $properties );

Also you can try (array) $obj cast to array as:

var_dump((array) $obj);

yea, that prints everything. I want to print just the word "dog" or "cat".

Try print_r( $properties['dog']);

Try below code:

print_r($yourObject->userAttributes->dog);

EDIT:

print_r(array_keys($yourObject->userAttributes)); // will print dog, cat
