<?php

$decode = json_decode($json, true);

echo "<pre>";
$count = count($decode); //counting the number of status
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
echo $decode[$i]['text']."<br>"; // in the original code there was $decode[$i][text] which is not correct
}
echo "</pre>";
?>

You have to put that text index in the 8th row into qoutes. I’ve posted here the corrected version.

The last code example block on that site also has the same error throughout all its lines. You must put string array indexes into quotation marks to avoid notices.
