Cant access JSON data with PHP

Question

im trying to access the ID and SENT from this JSON but is not working for me.

UPDATED

$json = '{
 "response": {
 "sent": true,
 "message": "Sent to 57304",
 "id": "gBEGVzBChXFYAgmcOrfFpGem8qw"
 }
}';
json_decode($json);
$id=$json->id;
$sent=$json->sent;
echo "</br> id:".$id."</br>";
echo "</br> sent:".$sent."</br>";

• Jacob Mulquin: You need to wrap the json string in json_decode()
• Andres Carvajal: @mulquin just updated and still not working with json_decode()
• José Carlos PHP: Next time you can var_export($json) to see what it has and discover your mistake. That's the debug way.

Answer 1

Use the php json_decode() function. Like this:

$json = '{
 "response": {
 "sent": true,
 "message": "Sent to 57304",
 "id": "gBEGVzBChXFYAgmcOrfFpGem8qw"
 }
}';
$json = json_decode($json, true);
$json = (object) $json['response'];
echo $json->sent; // output: 1
echo $json->id; // output: "gBEGVzBChXFYAgmcOrfFpGem8qw"

1 is the equivalent for a boolean value of true

• Andres Carvajal: Thank a lot this worked !
• Petr Fořt Fru-Fru: Nothing is happening, I'm glad it works for you. @Andres Carvajal

Answer 2

It Works,There are two label of JSON object,so you cant access inner object directly. you should assign json_decode($json) into a php object like $obj=json_decode($json); here is the working file

<?php
$json = '{
 "response": {
 "sent": true,
 "message": "Sent to 57304",
 "id": "gBEGVzBChXFYAgmcOrfFpGem8qw"
 }
 }';
 // convert assign json data into php object
 $obj=json_decode($json);
 //All the inner key can be access throug 'response' object
 $id=$obj->response->id;
 $sent=$obj->response->sent;
 
 
 echo "</br> id:".$id."</br>";
 echo "</br> sent:".$sent."</br>";
