如何在PHP中访问嵌套数组对象的值？

Question

I am using this unofficial PHP SDK for the Clearbit service, to enrich identity data. It taps in to Clearbit's API, which natively returns resulting identity records as JSON. It goes like this...

 require_once '/home/mysite/public_html/path/to/clearbit/vendor/autoload.php';
 use Clearbit\Clearbit;

  $clearbit = Clearbit::create('my_api_key');
  $combined = $clearbit->getCombined('satya.nadella@microsoft.com');

Per the library's documentation , it then performs either:

$combined->getPerson() (in my case)

or

$combined->getCompany()

If I dump the contents like var_dump($combined->getPerson() , I see not JSON but what looks to me like an array object...

Clearbit\Generated\Model\Person::__set_state(array(
   'id' => '1db9c8f3-366c-46a1-8612-213b17da133d',
   'fuzzy' => false,
   'name' => 
  ArrayObject::__set_state(array(
     'fullName' => 'Satya Nadella',
     'givenName' => 'Satya',
     'familyName' => 'Nadella',
  )),
   'gender' => NULL,
   'location' => 'Seattle, WA',
   'timeZone' => NULL,
   'utcOffset' => NULL,
   'geo' => 
  Clearbit\Generated\Model\Geo::__set_state(array(
     'streetNumber' => NULL,
     'streetName' => NULL,
     'subPremise' => NULL,
     'city' => NULL,
     'state' => NULL,
     'stateCode' => NULL,
     'postalCode' => NULL,
     'country' => NULL,
     'countryCode' => NULL,
     'lat' => NULL,
     'lng' => NULL,
  )),
   'bio' => NULL,
   'site' => NULL,
   'avatar' => NULL,
   'employment' => 
  ArrayObject::__set_state(array(
     'domain' => 'microsoft.com',
     'name' => 'Microsoft',
     'title' => 'CEO',
     'role' => 'ceo',
     'seniority' => 'executive',
  )),
   'facebook' => 
  ArrayObject::__set_state(array(
     'handle' => NULL,
  )),
   'github' => 
  ArrayObject::__set_state(array(
     'handle' => NULL,
     'id' => NULL,
     'avatar' => NULL,
     'company' => NULL,
     'blog' => NULL,
     'followers' => NULL,
     'following' => NULL,
  )),
   'twitter' => 
  ArrayObject::__set_state(array(
     'handle' => NULL,
     'id' => NULL,
     'bio' => NULL,
     'followers' => NULL,
     'following' => NULL,
     'statuses' => NULL,
     'favorites' => NULL,
     'location' => NULL,
     'site' => NULL,
     'avatar' => NULL,
  )),
   'linkedin' => 
  ArrayObject::__set_state(array(
     'handle' => 'in/satya-nadella-3145136',
  )),
   'googleplus' => 
  ArrayObject::__set_state(array(
     'handle' => NULL,
  )),
   'angellist' => NULL,
   'aboutme' => 
  ArrayObject::__set_state(array(
     'handle' => NULL,
     'bio' => NULL,
     'avatar' => NULL,
  )),
))

What I need to do, but don't understand how to, is access some of those individual values - like the city that is inside geo , for example.

I have read around and tried various, like...

  $myperson = $combined->getPerson();
  echo $myperson['gender'];

and...

$mycity = $combined->getPerson()->geo->city;

But, truth be told, I don't yet know what I'm doing, and need to learn a bit.

I'm aware that questions with similar titles have probably been asked and answered, but it's possible my question itself is not even correct or that I don't have my terminology correct.

Answer 1

this object is combined with other objects. you should use both objects to retrieve the value like the city.

Something like this:

$person = $combined->getPerson();
$geo    = $person->getGeo();
$city   = $geo->getCity();
echo $city;

Use functions of Geo.php to get values of Clearbit\\Generated\\Model\\Geo

Use functions of Person.php to get values of Clearbit\\Generated\\Model\\Person
