var_dump() is your friend here. It will show you the structure of a variable
- be it a nested array or object.

Try

$foo = array("key" => array(1,2,3,4), "fish" => false);
var_dump($foo);
var_dump($foo['key']);
var_dump($foo['key'][0]);
var_dump($foo['fish']);

vs
class Foo {
    public $key = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
    public $fish = false;
}

$foo = new Foo();
var_dump($foo);
var_dump($foo->key);
var_dump($foo->key[0]);
var_dump($foo->fish);

to see what things are a bit better
