trying to get property code example

Example: trying to get property

Check the manual for mysql_fetch_object(). It returns an object, not an array of objects.

I'm guessing you want something like this

$results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sidemenu WHERE `menu_id`='".$menu."' ORDER BY `id` ASC LIMIT 1", $con);

$sidemenus = array();
while ($sidemenu = mysql_fetch_object($results)) {
    $sidemenus[] = $sidemenu;
}
