Answer 1

Not sure what you're jsonService is doing but this worked for me:

$json = '{"var1":null,"var3":null,"status":{"code":150,"message":"blah blah"}}';

$result = json_decode($json);

echo $result->status->code;

Answer 2

You can use json_decode() for this task. Also, your input string should have quotes:

$test='{"var1":null,"var3":null,"status":{"code":150,"message":"blah blah"}}';

$responseObj = json_decode($test);

echo $responseObj->status->code;

Answer 3

You should give PHP's json_decode() a try:

$test='{"var1":null,"var3":null,"status":{"code":150,"message":"blah blah"}}';
$responseObj = json_decode($test);
echo $responseObj->status->code;

For PEARS's Services_JSON Class (Documentation):

// create a new instance of Services_JSON
$jsonService = new Services_JSON();

$test='{"var1":null,"var3":null,"status":{"code":150,"message":"blah blah"}}';
$jsonService->decode($test);
echo $responseObj->status->code;
