Okay. Now I give up. I have been playing with this for hours.

• I have a variable name $data.

• The variable contains these contents: (extracted by using var_export())

  array (
    'headers' =>
    array (
      'content-type' => 'multipart/alternative; boundary="_689e1a7d-7a0a-442a-bd6c-a1fb1dc2993e_"',
    ),
    'ctype_parameters' => 
    array (
      'boundary' => '_689e1a7d-7a0a-442a-bd6c-a1fb1dc2993e_',
    ),
    'parts' => 
    array (
      0 => 
      stdClass::__set_state(array(
        'headers' => 
        array (
          'content-type' => 'text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"',
          'content-transfer-encoding' => 'quoted-printable',
        ),
        'ctype_primary' => 'text',
      )),
    ),
  )
  

  I removed some non-essential data.

• I want to access the headers value (on the second line above) - simple: $data->headers
• I want to access the headers value (on the fourteenth line after the stdClass:: stuff) - how?

How can I possibly access the values within the stdClass::__set_state section?

I tried var_export($data->parts); but all I get is

NULL
