Array not an Array?

Question

Very simple and probably noob question about php. i run the following;

var_dump($this->criteria);

which returns me :

object(SimpleXMLElement)[24]
public 'id' => string '3C222489-4BE4-47BB-A731-EFCF98B9979F' (length=36)
public 'parentId' => string '_001' (length=4)
public 'template' => string '_100' (length=4)
public 'name' => string 'New Report' (length=10)
public 'description' => 
object(SimpleXMLElement)[23]
public 'breakdown' => string 'talkgroup' (length=9)
public 'selectedColumns' => 
array
  0 => string 'talkgroup' (length=9)
  1 => string 'id' (length=2)  
public 'dc' => string '1337185046621' (length=13)

Great! so now I can see that selectedColums is an array.. so

Did you press "Ask Question" before you finished typing? I hope so, for your sake... — DaveRandom, May 16 '12 at 17:05

Assuming that your question is:

How can I determine whether selectedColums is an array?

Try this:

is_array($this->criteria->description->selectedColumns)
