how to accessing data in a php object

Question

I am trying to the balance in a PHP object, I tried everything but am getting array to string conversion error, here is the string

{ "status": true, "message": "Balances retrieved", "data": [ { "currency": "NGN", "balance": 0 } ] }

its a response from a remote server, i am trying to get the balance, i tried

$response->data->balance json_decode($response)->data->balance json_decode($response[0])->data->balance

but none of them worked, the response from the remote server is stored in a variable called $response How can i get the balance from the response

Data is an array

json_decode($response)->data[0]->balance

Take a look at this example, that I created: http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/414f23b1a09221ed5bd7f299f5eb73a2f9f932b1

First you decode the JSON string Then access data array at the index 0, so data[0] And then data[0]->balance, access object property 'balance'

Gerard's answer is right.

Also you can naviguate the result of a json_decode function in array mode.

<?php $json = '{ "status": true, "message": "Balances retrieved", "data": [ { "currency": "NGN", "balance": 0 } ] }'; $response = json_decode($json); echo $response["data"][0]["balance"]; echo $response->data[0]->balance;

Using a variable to register the decode answer will save you time.
