Now my IDE flags this unused variable as a hint, so (on autopilot) I changed it to be $obj = new MyObject(); foreach (array_keys($obj) as $key) { echo $key; } Which removes the hint, and looks like the right sort of thing. Of course this doesn't work: "array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be an array, object found". So what is the correct way to list the field names of an object? Two ways depending on whether you want to get them from the class definition or what the object actually contains: * http://php.net/get-class-vars * http://php.net/get-object-vars
