Dynamically Delete an Object’s Property in PHP

You can delete an object’s property using unset.

unset($object->property_name);

But if you want to access it using a string you need to be a little more creative. Why? Because if you enter this:

WRONG WAY:

Source code

unset($object["property_name"]);

You will end up with: “Fatal error: Cannot use object of type … as array”

CORRECT WAY:

Source code

unset($object->{"property_name"});

And that’s how you make an ice cream sunday…. Wait….. wrong post….

Showing php errors on your dev machine is useful while programming. But when you move a piece of code to staging or even dev and you have an issue you may need a quick solve, either log files or a quick Show Errors on Page while on off peak hours. My case it is a staging environment so no worries on showing the errors.

You can set it in your php.ini but placing in your code with php functions allows you to easily set up various configs for different environments.

Source code

error_reporting(0); // hides all errors
error_reporting(-1); // shows all errors

Pretty simple, and really assists with fast debugging.
