Get PHP class property by string

If you want to access the property without creating an intermediate variable, use the {} notation:

$something = $object->{'something'};

That also allows you to build the property name in a loop for example:

for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
    $something = $object->{'something' . $i};
    // ...
}

Like this

<?php

$prop = 'Name';

echo $obj->$prop;

Or, if you have control over the class, implement the ArrayAccess interface and just do this

echo $obj['Name'];
