object - Get first element in PHP stdObject



I have an object (stored as $videos) that looks like this



object(stdClass)#19 (3) {
[0]=>

object(stdClass)#20 (22) {
["id"]=>
string(1) "123"

etc...


I want to get the ID of just that first element, without having to loop over it.



If it were an array, I would do this:




$videos[0]['id']


It used to work as this:



$videos[0]->id


But now I get an error "Cannot use object of type stdClass as array..." on the line shown above. Possibly due to a PHP upgrade.




So how do I get to that first ID without looping? Is it possible?



Thanks!

Update 2019




Moving on to the best practices of OOPS, @MrTrick's answer must be
marked as correct, although my answer provides a hacked solution its not

the best method.




Simply iterate its using {}



Example:



$videos{0}->id



This way your object is not destroyed and you can easily iterate through object.



For PHP 5.6 and below use this



$videos{0}['id']
