How to access specific value in php and json - php

Question

I'm using a token:
$url = "https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/deals?api_token=3bd884bb0078f836a56f1464097fb71eac9d50ce";
and here's the json text(not everything);
{
"success":true,
"data":[{
"id":1,
"creator_user_id":{
"id":1682756,
"name":"Kamilah",
"email":"kamilah#fractal.ae",
"has_pic":false,
"pic_hash":null,
"active_flag":true,
"value":1682756},
"title":"FFS Organization deal"
}]
}
I wanted to display "title" and I always get an error
Notice: Undefined index: creator_user_id in
C:\xampp\htdocs\pipedrive\getjson.php on line 8
Here's my code so far:
$url = "https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/deals?api_token=3bd884bb0078f836a56f1464097fb71eac9d50ce";
$response = file_get_contents($url);
$object = json_decode($response, true);
echo $object['data']['creator_user_id']['title'];
I'm new to json so I'm just practicing and trying to figure out how to echo a specific value in php. Would be appreciated if you can explain exactly how it works when you echo from json to php.
Thank you! :)

First of all you need to debug the array after using json_decode().
<?php
$url = "https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/deals?api_token=3bd884bb0078f836a56f1464097fb71eac9d50ce";
$response = file_get_contents($url);
$object = json_decode($response, true);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($object); // this will print all data into array format.
?>
As per this array, you do not have title index inside the creator_user_id array. title is a separate index.
Also note that, $object['data'] containing two indexes not one. you can get title as:
<?php
foreach ($object['data'] as $key => $value) {
//print_r($value); // this will print the values inside the data array.
echo $value['title']."<br/>"; // this will print all title inside your array.
}
?>
Result:
FFS Organization deal
Google deal
