How to get a stdClass object that has a space in its name?

Question

PHP

Hello. I use API of one service. In response to the request, it returns Json to me. After decoding, this is the result:
stdClass Object
(
[response] => 1
[counts People] => 1849
)
How do I get the "counts People" object?

Answer 1

<?php

$rawJson = '{"response":1,"counts People":1849}';
$jsonObj = json_decode($rawJson);
$jsonArray = json_decode($rawJson, true);

var_dump($jsonObj, $jsonArray);
var_dump($jsonObj->{'counts People'});
var_dump($jsonArray['counts People']);

object(stdClass)#1 (2) {
  ["response"]=>
  int(1)
  ["counts People"]=>
  int(1849)
}
array(2) {
  ["response"]=>
  int(1)
  ["counts People"]=>
  int(1849)
}
int(1849)
int(1849)

Answer 2

It is often more convenient to work with an array. See second parameter json_decode.
And so, it is possible to use the syntax:
$json->{'some invalid-name'}

Answer 3

1. it's not an object
2. convert it to an associative array and access the array element
