将complexObjectArray转换为可用数组

Question

I have a script which has output which looks like the following:

Which is something I've not experienced before. Normally the result would be the array and then the stdClass Object which I convert to an array using (array) $result. This one seems to be nested an extra 2 times however, so I have no idea how to access it so that I can turn each of those objects into an array.

So what I need to be able to achieve, for example, is that if I use the code echo $orders[0]->customer_id, the result would be 716'.

Could anybody please advise? My code is below if required. Thank you very much.

<?php
    $client= new SoapClient('*Magento URL*');
    $session_id = $client->login((object)array('username' => '*Magento Username*', 'apiKey' => '*Magento Password*'));

    try {
        $result = $client->salesOrderList((object)array('sessionId' => $session_id->result, 'filters' => null)); 
        $orders = (array) $result;

        echo '<pre>', print_r($orders), '</pre>';

    } catch (SoapFault $e) {
        echo 'Error: ', $e->getMessage(), '<hr>';
    }
?>

$result is an object with a result property which is an object with a complexObjectArray property that is an integer indexed array of objects. So:

$orders = $result->result->complexObjectArray;

Then:

echo $orders[0]->customer_id;

If there is more than one item in the array then you would need to loop over it. If there is only ever one then include the 0 when defining $orders:

$orders = $result->result->complexObjectArray[0];

Then:

echo $orders->customer_id;
