Question

I have the folowing array:

outerarray{
            "id": "20154", 
            "from": {
              "name": "xyz", 
              "id": "10004"
            }}

Now how do i access the element name?

Answer 1

It is JSON, decode first using json_decode() and then access:

$arr = json_decode($yourjson, true);
echo $arr['from']['name']; // xyz

Or

$arr = json_decode($yourjson);
echo $arr->from->name; // xyz
