How do I use response from an API into the controller - CodeIgniter - php

Question

I tried to integrate an API that built-in laravel and now I have to use that API's response into the Codeigniter project, I'm developing a Codeigniter project(I'm not familiar with this framework and it's my first time working with this),
I finally could do it, I'm getting a response from an API
$result = curl_exec($response);
$rs=json_decode($result,true); print_r($rs);
return $rs;
Array(
[user] =>
Array(
[user_no] => PMRQ3fVd6eGEvd5aO9MDJg()() [name] => Anthony [middle_name] => S [lastname] => Mosteller [email] => AnthonyMosteller#test.net
)
)
and desperately trying to access the object full name, email, and user_no into my controller
But I am stuck now.
controller code:
$user=$this->userapi->userapicall($user_url,$token);
$this->session->set_userdata('username',$user['name']); // here want to use full name (name+middle_name+lastname)
$this->session->set_userdata('useremail',$user['email']);
I'm getting an error for name and email
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: name
Filename: controllers/auth.php
Line Number: 106
Do I need to create for each loop or seems something really silly mistake I make
I would appreciate an example of this.

$rs = json_decode($result,true); print_r($rs);
Here you are getting a multidimensional array. As per your code sample it looks like -
$rs = ['user' => ['user_no' => 'PMRQ3fVd6eGEvd5aO9MDJg', 'name' => 'Anthony', 'middle_name' => 'S', 'lastname' => 'Mosteller', 'email' => 'AnthonyMosteller#test.net']];
So if are trying to access user's name in controller -
$this->session->set_userdata('username',$user['user]['name']);
This should fix the problem. Also you should check if you are getting success status from API.
