$ac_info = AccountClass::getAccount($ac_code);
print_r($ac_info);

and getting following output

AccountClass Object ( [account_code] => [email protected] [username] => XYZ [email] => [first_name] => [last_name] => [company_name] => [id] => [email protected] [balance_in_cents] => 0 [created_at] => 1271333048 [state] => active )

Answer 1

Try this..

$ac_info->account_code

Answer 2

Knock yourself out.

Answer 3

$ac_info is an object of AccountClass class. account_code, username, email, first_name, last_name and all the rest are object properties.

You can access them in a way:

echo $ac_info->account_code;

Answer 4

Try also :

print_r(get_class_methods($ac_info));

You will see an array of the methods in the AccountClass class. Because if $account_code is private, you won't be able to read it directly, but you will have to use the getter, something like :

$ac_info->getAccountCode();

Answer 5

Try this..

$ac_info->account_code;
