When calling a member class of another class, i get Object->variable instead of the variable?

When trying to echo multidimensional arrays I get sth. like array[second_key]. Why is that?

This occurres when you try to access member objects or multidimensional
arrays in a string. There are two ways to prevent PHP from
misunderstanding the second key/member-name for a generic string:
1. You could simply exclude the object/array from the string and
concatenate the results:
$string="Hello ".$user->data->lastname; and
$string="Hello ".$user[data][lastname]:
2. You could embedd them into "{" and "}":
$string="Hello {$user->data->lastname}"; and
$string="Hello {$user['data']['lastname']}": // remember the quotes!
