I want to echo value by value

Answer 1

try it with:

$resArr = json_decode($response, true);

It will convert it into associative array format.

For more detail have a look at JSON Decode PHP

• Madushanka Sampath: i think it is object array... $resArr=(array)$resArr; so this is the right way
• Chetan Ameta: @Madushanka yes you can use that also, bu using php function json_decode is best way
