Extending a class with a variable?

This works and is tested. PHP Code:

$data_stats = json_decode($ret);
$projected_points = $data_stats->body->player_stats->42550689->FPTS

I just need to know how to do it using a variable. Something like this: PHP Code:

$data_stats = json_decode($ret);
$projected_points = $data_stats->body->player_stats->$id->FPTS

How can I make $id work here?

Also is this called extending a class? I don't even know the correct terminology to describe my question.

I believe you can access attributes using alternative syntax $obj->player_stats->{$var}

You're looking for a variable variable... something like:

$yourId = 42550689

Then, you do:

$projected_points = $data_stats->body->player_stats->$$yourId->FPTS

Check the docs for more info: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php
