I have an array that I access like this:
$item['id'];
What can I do to the array to access it like this instead?
$item->id

1$item->name isn't a reference to an associative array, you already have that.... it's an object referenceMark Baker– Mark Baker2013-03-04 14:40:47 +00:00Commented Mar 4, 2013 at 14:40

Use this code:
$item = (object) $item;
echo $item->property;
The -> syntax is for objects, not associative arrays. You can use the (object) cast operator to cast an array into an object of the class stdClass though.

Cast it to (a stdClass) object:
$item = (object) $item;

If that array is coming from a database, such as mysql you can fetch objects instead of arrays with mysql_fetch_object() or set the flag PDO::FETCH_OBJ if you are using PDO.
Maybe it is not relevant to you however ...

You need to convert it into an object
$item = (object) $item;
echo $item->id;
