Yes, you're missing the power of "magic" methods. Just because you
don't see it in a var_dump() doesn't mean that it isn't there.

Your code works perfectly. Just ask it for the first and last names,
and you'll find that it returns them to you just fine.

foreach($users as $user) {
  echo $user->first_name.' '.$user->last_name;
}
