        )

Which lines like a string? What do you want to access in the objects? — Mark Baker, Jan 17 '14 at 15:06
`echo $myObject->relationship->source->following;` or `echo $myObject->relationship->target->following;` — Mark Baker, Jan 17 '14 at 15:08

Use the (string) method to cast a type in to the type string. For example:

$x = (string) $stdVar->relationship->source->screen_name;

var_dump($x); // will output string(n) "damisleq"

by the way, if you get the result from Twtter as JSON you can also use associative array function in json_decode. For example. $result = json_decode($string, true); the true states you want a array as result in stead of a stdObject.

Yes output is = string(11) "damisleq" How can i get only damisleq ? – Emre Y Jan 17 '14 at 15:15
Please learn about the different methods in PHP for outputting data: `var_dump()` can be replaced with (for example `print()`) or you could `echo` the value.... outputting text to a display really is fundamental PHP 101 day 1 type stuff – Mark Baker Jan 17 '14 at 15:18
