If an Object can hold an Array, how is the Array accessed?

Question

I currently have an Object which holds a series of Arrays, when I do print_r it does show the arrays however, when I want to get these values out I seem to be getting an error.

print_r($Obj->Example);

Returns:

Object => Example ( 'Username' => 'Example' )

My code to query through the Object is:

foreach($Obj as $single):
    echo $Example['Username'];
endif;

Is it possible to query through like this because it isn't working and I get an error saying that:

$Obj is not defined as an Array

So how can I access the Example array and echo all the Usernames ?

try this $Exampale->username and use var_dump() function for dumping variable. don't use print_r — Naumov

@Naumov Besides that variables are case-sensitive, why shouldn't OP use print_r()? — Rizier123

you can foreach objects, but they have to implement iterable. without that, you can NOT use foreach on an object, because it's NOT an array. — Marc B

print_r() returns me what I am looking for and it is an array but when I foreach the Object to get to the Array it gives me an error. How do I foreach the Object? — Jaquarh

As Example is an array that belongs to an object, the code would be like this

foreach($Obj->Example as $single):
    echo $single['Username'];
endif;

Yeah, after reading the comments I kinda widened the way I was looking at this concept. I can't iterate through the Object to get to the Array, I'd have to declare that I wanted to iterate through the Array inside my Class the Object. Thanks for this! I'll mark it when I can! Finally, I can instance and use the Arrays inside it! xD
