Which string ?

ChicoMendez

the code in the code field - i know you say its an array - but suppose itspresented to me in a string variable....

The explode function will return an array given a delimited string.

But as mentioned, what you posted ain't no string!

Where did you get that 'string' from? I.e. What line of PHP code produced that 'string'? I'm going to call it '$yourVariable'. See, it looks like an array already. An array that contains objects as it's values. Try this (the only thing you need to change is $yourVariable.

[PHP]

foreach($yourVariable as $arrayKey=>$objectReference){

echo $objectReference->isJuliaFlagged; // prints '1' and then '1'

}

[/PHP]

Since PHP5 foreach will iterate over objects as well as arrays.

A recursive function will do this nicely for you.
