I want to echo every ID and NAME from each block, but Im very new at json and i always get stuck when i need to read more than one data. Thanks for any help.

Assumed your shown JSON object is assigned as that to a JS variable o and you want to loop in JS:

for (i = 0; i < o.data.length; i++) {
    alert(
        'id = ' + o.data[i].id + '\n' +
        'name = ' +  o.data[i].name  + '\n' +
        'from.id = ' + o.data[i].from.id + '\n' +
        'from.name = ' +  o.data[i].from.name
    );
}

Assumed your shown JSON object is assigned as that in a PHP string variable $s:

$aObject = json_decode($s, true);
foreach ($aObject['data'] as $i => $a) {
    echo
        'id = ' . $a['id'] . "<br />\n" .
        'name = ' . $a['name'] . "<br />\n" .
        'from.id = ' . $a['from']['id'] . "<br />\n" .
        'from.name = ' . $a['from']['name'] . "<br /><br />\n\n";
}
