Getting value of particular array-key(protected) from response object?

[khurshid-alam]

This is the sample code I used....to get a particular task list:

$tasks = $rtm->getService(Rtm::SERVICE_TASKS);
$response = $tasks->getList("status:incomplete AND tag:work", 16594223, NULL, NULL);

print_r($response);

And this the sample response I am getting:

Rtm\DataContainer Object
(
    [attributes:Rtm\DataContainer:private] => Array
        (
            [0] => Rtm\DataContainer Object
                (
                    [attributes:Rtm\DataContainer:private] => Array
                        (
                            [id] => 19594773
                            [taskseries] => Rtm\DataContainer Object
                                (
                                    [attributes:Rtm\DataContainer:private] => Array
                                        (
                                            [id] => 310899576
                                            [created] => 2013-10-03T05:35:52Z
                                            [modified] => 2013-11-06T17:24:36Z
                                            [name] => A new task
                                            [source] => js
                                            [url] => 
                                            [location_id] =>

                                        )
                                )
                        )
              )
      )
)

I want to extract the value of [name]. How can I do it? $response->getTaskSeries()->getName() does not work.

I guess this type of serialization has already been implemented inside the class.

In this case "$response" contains a collection (array), so you just need to traverse it using foreach:

foreach ($response as $item) {
    // Get the name with: $item->getTaskseries()->getName();
}

Thanks.That worked. But in real response object, I can get taskseries just fine but can't get name at single go without using another foreach like this:

foreach ($response as $item) {
    $ts = $item->getTaskseries();
    foreach ($ts as $item2) {
        $name[] = $item2->getName();
    }
}
print_r($name[0]);

Yeah, you can be right here. It all depends on the structure of data returned by Remember The Milk API. This library just wraps the response with an object. For more info on the data structure, please refer to the RTM API methods documentation (https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/api/methods/).
