In my case it was:

foreach ($returnedObject as $row) {
    $sub_array = '';
    $sub_array['ID'] = $row->data->ID;
    $sub_array['user_login'] = $row->data->user_login;
    $sub_array['display_name'] = $row->data->display_name;
    $sub_array['user_email'] = $row->data->user_email;
    $sub_array['user_registered'] = $row->data->user_registered;
    $main_array[] = $sub_array;
}

you can use wp_get_recent_posts() instead of get_posts(). The wp_get_recent_posts() function returns a normal array instead of object array, then by using foreach loop you can access any value of an array.

It's very simple:

You have an Array Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [ID]

This array have one KEY, that can be identified by the "[0]" (but more keys may exist)) Accessing the key:

foreach ( $arrDt as $value ): //Look, whe are inside the first key. (currently is '0').
   echo $value->ID;
   echo $value->post_author;
endforeach;

Or, if you want to convert object to array ( like $value['ID'], for example ), you just needs this:

    function objectToArray($obj)
    {
         if (is_object($obj)):
             $object = get_object_vars($obj); 
         endif;

         return array_map('objectToArray', $object); // return the object, converted in array.
    }

$objArray = objectToArray($arrDt);
print_r($objArray);

It is just normal object access:

$obj = $arrDt[0];
echo $obj->ID;
echo $obj->post_author;
// etc.

But it depends on what you want to do. I suggest to have a look at the get_posts examples. They use setup_postdata to load the post content in the current context. If you want to display the post, this is probably the cleaner solution.
