Output value of nested arrays?

@chrisburton

Everywhere I see it in that article, `isset()` (and/or `empty()`) is being used during the oauth process – e.g., to check what the response returned. The Opauth example does this as well (are you still using the opauth class?).

Yes, those checks should remain.

However, don’t use them when(if) you’re accessing the results via the `twitter_user` class:

#no
if( isset( $twitter_user->name ) ){
print $twitter_user->name;
}

#yes
print $twitter_user->name;

**edit**

*Also, the code in that article uses the mysql_…() functions.*

*ext/mysql is long outdated and will be deprecated in PHP 5.5. It **should not be used** in new work (try [ext/mysql**i**](http://php.net/mysqli) or [PDO](http://php.net/pdo) instead).*

@traq I mean, as long as it’s secure, I’m not worried about it. I just want to make sure the users info is not vulnerable. It looks like I have a lot to learn. By the way, when you get Kirby up and running, I’d love to see you create a plugin that does this.

Regarding Opauth class, I’m not sure. What I sent you is what I am still using. I just pasted your code below the code that Opauth comes with.

Keeping the checks will prevent errors. It may not lead directly to security vulnerabilities, but it definitely makes for better UX and also best coding practice.

> It looks like I have a lot to learn.

Everyone does. That’s the fun part.

Maybe. I’ll have to see how easy it is to integrate.

which is exactly what I did; works great (that example is on one of my old domains that is still running PHP 5.2). Taking the code you gave me, those minor changes to my class are all it took.

@traq – super forum props for helping Chris out with this. I’ve been following this thread and have admired your dedication to the problem!

@TheDoc – thanks very much. I’ve enjoyed it …and my own projects may benefit from this as well :)

[chrisburton]

@traq @TheDoc Yes, absolutely. I really appreciate all the help that you have given. I’m glad that we can both benefit from this as well. Thank you for everything.

My apologies for being MIA for the past couple of days. It’s been stressful getting everything ready for this semester of college.

You’re quite welcome, thank you.

Just to clarify, is this working for you now?

[chrisburton]

@traq Working 100%. Much easier to write also so that’s a definite plus. Thanks again, I owe you one.
