    I have long php variable after decoding JSON string using json_decode function.

    object(stdClass)#1 (3) {
    ["responseData"]=>
    object(stdClass)#2 (2) {
    ["results"]=>
    array(4) {
    [0]=>
    object(stdClass)#3 (8) {
    ["GsearchResultClass"]=>
    string(10) "GwebSearch"
    ["unescapedUrl"]=>
    string(32) "http://www.example.com/Home/"    ........

    What should be the php syntax to access highlighted portion of string/array.

    i want to access value of this variable ["unescapedUrl"]

    Please help.

    We've found it's much easier to use the associative array instead of the object return value. To do this, pass 'true' as the second parameter:

    $array = json_decode( 'string ...', true);
    $unescapedUrl = $array['responseData']['results']['unescapedUrl'];

    I have tried this
    
$json = json_decode($body, true);
echo $json['responseData']['results']['unescapedUrl'];
    PHP:
    It does not show anything. Than I tried following

    
$json = json_decode($body);
echo $json->$responseData->results[0]->unescapedUrl;
    PHP:
    and get this error: Fatal error: Cannot access empty property

    Any tips?

$json = json_decode($body);
echo($json->responseData->results[0]->unescapedUrl);
    PHP:
    if that doesn't work please post the json encoded string here

    Thanks Dagon. I just fixed it. I was adding $ sign before "responseData". Your code is perfect. Rep added. Thanks again.

    if ( $job == "done" ) {
    echo "Please message me next time you have something";
    } else {
    echo "I am interested in this job, Please Message me.";
    }

    Eh? This was almost clever, and actually on-topic, in the other thread you posted it in but now it's kinda lame and repetitive and out of place here since this wasn't really a "job" and plus he had already posted saying it works now so..

    EDIT: Wow, you actually posted this and only this in a lot of threads even threads that are just asking for help solving a problem (even when the problem was already solved like this thread). Might I suggest you not act like a spam bot?
