I have a scenario where I have $record variable. My loop contains keys which are then parsed like $record->{$key}. $keys variable contains ['title', 'date', 'user->name'].

Actually $record variable is a multi-dimensional object and it works fine until I have a key named as 'user->name'. What I want is to parse it as $record->user->name which I am unable to do.

$keys = ['title', 'date', 'location', 'user->name'];

foreach ($keys as $key) {
    echo $record->{$key};
}

Can you show your code, what you've tried, what you expect ? – Jules R Dec 04 '18 at 10:36

There must be a better way that whatever you're doing to end up with `user->name` in the first please. – Jonnix Dec 04 '18 at 10:40
You could access it like this: `$record->{'user->name'};` – AnTrakS Dec 04 '18 at 10:41
@JulesR - I *think* he expects the string `user->name` (the `$key` var) to be parsed as the `name` parameter of the `user` parameter of the `$record` object when doing `$record->{$key}` ... – CD001 Dec 04 '18 at 10:41

D.Dimitrov, it doesn't work this way, have tried already. – Salman Khimani Dec 04 '18 at 10:46
