php - Special characters in property name of object

Get the solution ↓↓↓

If I have an object that contains a property that starts with a % symbol, how can I get its value.

If I use

echo $myobject->%myproperty;

I get an error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '%', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE

I know I shouldn't use % in variable names, but it wasn't my doing and I'm stuck with it.

Solution:

I have one more solution to convert object to an array, so that you will not get an error.

I have a symbol - on the object index, so I have used the above solution and got success. 

$array = (array) $yourObject;
