Filter items return value problem

My first steps working with the Podio API turns out to be a struggle to get items of an app out of Podio. I have found a possibly outdated but helpful example file with this in it:

`$item_collection = PodioItem::filter( YOUR_APP_ID );

// A collection is an associative array with some extra data in addition to the list of items.
print $item_collection['total']; // The total amount of items in the app
print $item_collection['filtered']; // Number of items matching the current filter
print_r($item_collection['items']); // Array of PodioItem instances`

but I found that 'total' and 'filtered' should be called as object properties ($item_collection->total and $item_collection->filtered). Unfortunately 'items' is not a property (anymore?) of the collection.

When I do a var_dump() of the $item_collection the first lines are:

object(PodioItemCollection)#340 (4) {
["filtered"]=>
int(116)
["total"]=>
int(116)
["__items":"PodioCollection":private]=>
array(20) {.....

and I don't have a clue how to get that result to show up in my PHP-page. Everything I need is in the array but it's in a private object.
Could you please point me to the part of the documentation where you explain how to get the actual result? I have read this https://developers.podio.com/doc/items/filter-items-4496747 and this https://developers.podio.com/doc/items/get-items-27803 .

Thank you so much!

  Hi Sabine,

  That is an old example you found. The current version of podio-php is a bit easier to work with. You can see a bit of documentation around collections at: http://podio.github.io/podio-php/objects/

  But basically you can treat the collection as an array and just iterate over it:

  $item_collection = PodioItem::filter( YOUR_APP_ID )
  
  foreach ($item_collection as $item) {
    print "Item: " . $item->title;
  }
  

  The documentation I link above also shows you how to use a get method to get items by their item_id and how to add and remove items from the collection.

  But thats only the value for the title, how do i get the email and category value etc?
  
  

  $items = PodioItem::filter($app_id, $attributes = array(), $options = array());

  foreach ($items as $item) {

      $item_fields = $item->fields;

      // echo $item_fields[0] . "<br>";

      // echo $item_fields[1] . "<br>";

      // echo $item_fields[2] . "<br>";

      // echo $item_fields[3] . "<br><br><br>";

   

      foreach ($item_fields as $item_field) {

          echo $item_field->values . "<br><br>";

      }

  
  

  }

  This is how far i got, but it only prints the title since its the only data not an array inside an array
