Question

can someone help me print the “text” value from this json decoded array?
i did echo $obj[“text”] and i get a blank 🙁

ah, i did the var_dump ; it says its an array of 20 elements inside an array of 1 element 🙂
so after editing the code 42 times i have come to the solution only because the awesome Fangel helped that to print text the following line needs to be placed:
echo $obj[0][“text”];

$obj=[
        {
