I have an array stored in a variable--at least I think it is an array--and want to get a value from it.

This is what the $myvar logs as and why I think it is an array:

Array
(
    [numberofhits] => 5
)

How can I get the value 5 into a variable?

Have tried some likely possibilities such as 

 $numhits = $myvar->numberofhits;

But $numhits is empty.

Thanks for any suggestions.

    $numhits = $myvar['numberofhits']; Commented May 11, 2017 at 20:11

    As you said, its an array, not an object, so you have to access trough $var['elem'] insteadof $var->elem Commented May 11, 2017 at 20:13
  • Optionally, you can cast the array to an object by doing $myvar = (object)$myvar; but that is overkill for what you're trying to do... Commented May 11, 2017 at 20:14

    They're essentially the same. After you do json_decode() it's just a PHP object or array, and you use the same syntax to access the contents. Commented May 11, 2017 at 20:20
