How do I access this object property with an illegal name?
<?php$x = new StdClass();$x->{'todo-list'} = 'fred';var_dump($x);So, $object->{'todo-list'} is the sub-object. If you can set it like that, then you can also read it the same way:
echo $x->{'todo-list'};Another possibility:
$todolist = 'todo-list';echo $x->$todolist;If you wanted to convert it to an array, which can be a little more easily (ie the obvious $ret['todo-list'] accessing), this code is taken almost verbatim from Zend_Config and will convert for you.
public function toArray(){ $array = array(); foreach ($this->_data as $key => $value) { if ($value instanceof StdClass) { $array[$key] = $value->toArray(); } else { $array[$key] = $value; } } return $array;}
