Accessing specific element in nested array

I think my this question is much dumb one but need help here.

I am accessing an svn directory via an API function, now it returns the result in variable and when I do print_r($result); it looks like following

Now lets say I have to to access type index of element [2] I am using

echo $result[2]['type'];

but it don't show anything.

So how to access specific elements if array looks like the above one?

 

try $result[2]->type;

 

Well.. assuming it's not an object (and is an array), try this:

echo $result['2']['type'];

Code (markup):

To make sure that it's an array, use this (if the above doesn't work):

vardump($result);

Code (markup):

 

simple remove single quotes

echo $result[2][type];

 

Recreated his instance with variables:

<?php

# Set the questioned array.
$result = array();
$result[] = array(
	'type' => 'directory',
	'last-mod' => 'Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:09:56 GMT',
	'path' => '04100b1c-a44f-0410-922e-2fda5d045ff4',
	'status' => 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK'
);
$result[] = array(
	'type' => 'directory',
	'last-mod' => 'Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:09:56 GMT',
	'path' => 'trunk',
	'status' => 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK'
);
$result[] = array(
	'type' => 'file',
	'last-mod' => 'Sun, 15 Jun 2008 12:25:40 GMT',
	'path' => 'trunk/xml2Array.php',
	'status' => 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK'
);

# Echo the mass of debug information.
echo '<pre>';
print_r($result);

echo "\n\n----------------------------------------\n\n";

var_dump($result);

echo "\n\n----------------------------------------\n\n";

# Test each out.
echo $result[2]['type']."\n";
//echo $result[2][type]."\n"; // Notice:  Use of undefined constant type - assumed 'type' (but displays file)
echo $result['2']['type']."\n";
//echo $result[2]->type."\n"; // Notice:  Trying to get property of non-object

echo '</pre>';

PHP:

 

Me the dumbest one, I was calling it in function which was defined on same page, but was not passing the data variable to it. Ahhh.. Me remained away from php for about 8 months to coldfusion but now gone mad ... hahhahahhahaha

 

Haha. We all make mistakes like that. Global is your friend in that case. xD

 

wow, using globals... i saw that about.. hmm... 5 years ago?

 

register_globals = On ?

 

i wanted to say that it's the dirty way...
