Using PHP variables that contain hyphens
Posted in php on November 25th, 2009 by David – Be the first to commentThis took me a little while to work out. I’m using PHP5’s SimpleXML to parse XML into a PHP object. The XML has entries like <HELLO-THERE>.
But you can’t use $xml->HELLO-THERE because it reads the hyphen as a minus.
Instead, use $xml->{”HELLO-THERE”}
Easy!
