PHP: How to access array element values using array-index

Question

How to access array element values using array-index?

Answer 1

array_values is function you are looking for

Examples:

<?php
$json = '{
    "dynamic":{
       "pageCount":"12",
       "tableCount":"1"
    }
}';

$arr = json_decode($json, true);
echo $arr['dynamic']['pageCount']; // working

$arr = array_values($arr);
echo $arr[0]['pageCount']; // NOW working

?>

Answer 2

$arr = json_decode($json, true);
foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
    if (isset($value['pageCount'])) {
        //do something with the page count
    }
}

If the structure is always a single nested JS object:

$obj = current($arr);
echo $obj['pageCount'];
