If you want to access "everything" within this object, you will have to use 2 `foreach` loops. Can `ExamSubjects` contain multiple values? E.g. other than `ExamSubject`. – Tobias F. May 19 '17 at 06:55
It actually depends on what you want to do. Nested foreach loops are an option, but it depends on what and how you need it. Having this a (Simple) XML document is probably more intuitive to handle from the structure of the data. – hakre May 19 '17 at 06:58
@TobiasF. please can you explain how to do that?? – Sampath Wijesinghe May 19 '17 at 07:01
@hakre please can you explain how to do that?? former question is not same like this, this is dynamic array – Sampath Wijesinghe May 19 '17 at 07:02

No need to get pushy and ping everyone, there is an in depth explanation in the linked duplicate even containing further links. There is even a search function on this website, we have tons of material regarding looping over an array. If you want to refer to the official documentation, perhaps https://php.net/foreach is a good start. A key search term might be *multi-dimensional array* - leading to: http://stackoverflow.com/q/40078683/367456, http://stackoverflow.com/q/32839554/367456 (just *two* examples). – hakre May 19 '17 at 07:05

You need nested foreach

foreach($data->Examination as $row)
{
    foreach($row->ExamSubjects->ExamSubject as $row1)
    {
        echo $row1->SubjectName

    }

 }
