Accessing Properties with Spaces in PHP

In PHP, accessing class properties with spaces in their names can be challenging. Consider a stdClass object with properties "Sector" and "Date Found". While you can access "Sector" using $object->Sector, how do you retrieve the value for "Date Found"?

To access a property with a space in the name, use curly braces around the property name. For instance, in this case, you would use $object->{'Date Found'} to obtain the date found value.

$object = new stdClass();
$object->{'Sector'} = 'Manufacturing';
$object->{'Date Found'} = '2010-05-03 08:15:19';

echo $object->{'Date Found'}; // Output: 2010-05-03 08:15:19

This approach allows you to access properties with spaces or other special characters that would otherwise cause syntax errors.
