PHP - Object

I've got a problem with a script I'm trying to modify.

I don't know much about objects, I always tend to use arrays.

If I do the following

PHP Code:


			
print_r($_SESSION['emf1_controller']);

I am left with;

Code:

__PHP_Incomplete_Class Object
(
    [__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name] => controller
    [myErrorPage] => phpErrorCheck.php
    [dbh] => 0
    [user] => stdClass Object
        (
            [user_userId] => 1000
            [user_firstname] => Mick
            [user_surname] => Sketch
        )

)

I want to try and access the user_firstname field.

I've tried a few different things like

PHP Code:


			
echo $_SESSION['emf1_controller']['user']->user_firstname

and a lot of other things and none seem to work. Can anyone help me access this field?

The problem here is that the controller class definition is not available to your PHP script. You'll need to include it in there so that PHP knows how to handle the object.

Once you've included the class definition, you can access the first name using:
$_SESSION['emf1_controller']->user->user_firstname
