from var_dump to variable

Question

This is how looks my var_dump variable.

object(stdClass)#879 (3) {
      ["row"]=>
      array(1) {
        ["option_id"]=>
        string(2) "20"
      }
      ["rows"]=>
      array(1) {
        [0]=>
        array(1) {
          ["option_id"]=>
          string(2) "20"
        }
      }
      ["num_rows"]=>
      int(1)
    }

I need to get option_id in this case option_id = 20 e.g. $option_id = 20

When I try this $variable['row']['option_id'] I get null value.

The variable is an object of stdClass, so you have to access the properties instead of an index. For example:

$variable->num_rows

If you want to get the option_id, you have to use this (combine object and array syntax):

$option_id = $variable->row["option_id"];
