How to get the ID out of Braintree's JSON response? - php

Question

I'm trying to integrate PayPal Express Checkout using Braintree SDK.
I can so far charge the Nonce returned from the client and I receive this response. However, I need to take the ID out in order to save it in a table.
My question is how do I parse the id??
Successful {#315
+success: true
-_returnObjectNames: array:1 [
0 => "transaction"
]
#_attributes: []
+"transaction": Transaction {#324
#_attributes: array:63 [
"id" => "xxx"// How do I parse this out?
"status" => "settling"
"type" => "sale"
"currencyIsoCode" => "USD"
"amount" => "6.00"
The variable that holds this JSON is $success. Thus, I tried several things like:
$success->transaction->id
$success->id
If I do $success->success I get true and If I do $success->transaction I get the Transaction object.

Full disclosure: I work at Braintree. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact
support.
If running $success->successreturns True and $success->transaction returns the Transaction object, then you should be able to query the transaction ID using $success->transaction->id, we also demonstrate this in our developer documentation.
$result = $gateway->transaction()->sale([
'amount' => '10.00',
'paymentMethodNonce' => nonceFromTheClient,
'options' => [
'submitForSettlement' => True
]
]);
if ($result->success) {
// See $result->transaction for details
} else {
// Handle errors
}
