不能在php中使用对象作为数组？

Question

I trying to read data from excel by this code

$row['name']     =    $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCellByColumnAndRow(3, $l)->getCalculatedValue(); 

var_dump returns string(4) "CCC3"

but i have a strange problem

code

$row['name']     =

returns Cannot use object of type PHPExcel_Worksheet_Row as array If I use simple

$row_name = 

its ok....

to read data Im using phpExcel.

Of course, I can change it to second option, but I dont know, why its not working

thanks for help

Answer 1

You've already set the value of $row as a PHPExcel_Worksheet_Row object earlier in your script, perhaps using PHPExcel's row iterator, so $row already exists as an object. This means that you can't simply rely on PHP to redefine it as an associative array when you assign a value to it as $row['name'].

Either use another variable name (e.g. $rowdata) that hasn't previous been used, or unset($row); before trying to assign a value to it.
