How to get array values as string?

Question

I have this array

Array ( [0] => User Object ( [id] => [username] => [password] => $2y$10$JJkkoa89X0gNmaEtzeLsI.GkKXqWx8R18MoHwglZkXkDPo5PdlnZe [first_name] => [last_name] => ) ) 1

can i get password as string ?

Answer 1

The password is hashed, i.e., some algorithm has been used to encrypt the original string. There are two ways

• Either you find the appropriate algo and decrypt it
• Just comparisons are possible. The comparison of actual password string with this hashed value will return true, so no need to get the original password string.

Answer 2

You can use the casting operators

 $password = (string) $arr[0]['password'];
