PHP getting JSON data not working - php

Question

Does anyone know how I can get the data from the JSON data
{
"data":{
"verify-purchase":{
"item_name":"Simplified PHP Invoice \/ Billing System",
"item_id":"11438884",
"created_at":"Sun May 31 07:49:31 +1000 2015",
"buyer":"aurysilva",
"licence":"Regular License"
}
},
"code":200,
"msg":"SUCCESS. Simplified PHP Invoice \/ Billing System License Activated. Purchase date: Sun May 31 07:49:31 +1000 2015"
}
If I do:
<?php
$LE = new License_Enforcer( 'http://www.rebootdigital.co.uk/verify.php');
$username = LICENSE_USERNAME;
$purchase_code = LICENSE_KEY;
$verified = $LE->verify($username, $purchase_code);
// save the result
$license_verified = $verified;
//$class = $LE->return_code >= 200 ? 'update' : 'error';
//echo sprintf("<div id='message' class='%s'><p>%s</p></div>", $class, $LE->msg);
echo $LE->msg;
echo $LE->data->item_name;
?>
$LE->msg returns the msg data, but I am not sure how to get the actual data.
JSON code:
// Make curl request
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone Simulator; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3_2 like Mac OD X; en-us) AppleWebKit/535.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8H7 Safari/6533.18.5");
$url = 'http://marketplace.envato.com/api/edge/'.$envato_author_username.'/'.$envato_author_apikey.'/verify-purchase:'.$envato_purchase_code.'.json';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$ch_data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ( empty( $ch_data ) ) { # no data returned - Timeout or similar
$result['code'] = 111;
$result['msg'] = 'FAILED to Activate License. Envato API request returned: ' . curl_error( $ch ) . " Please try again later.";
}
else {
$json_data = json_decode( $ch_data, true );
$result['data'] = $json_data;
if ( isset( $json_data['verify-purchase'] ) && count( $json_data['verify-purchase']) > 0 ) {
$license_type = $json_data['verify-purchase']['licence'];
$item_name = $json_data['verify-purchase']['item_name'];
$item_id = $json_data['verify-purchase']['item_id'];
$buyer = $json_data['verify-purchase']['buyer'];
$created_at = $json_data['verify-purchase']['created_at'];
if ( strcasecmp( $envato_username, $buyer ) === 0 ) {
$result['code'] = 200;
$result['msg'] = "SUCCESS. " . $item_name . " License Activated. Purchase date: " . $created_at;
}
else {
$result['code'] = 122;
$result['msg'] = "FAILED to Activate License for " . $item_name . ". Envato states this purchase code is owned by another user.";
}
} else if ( $json_data['error'] ) {
$result['code'] = 112;
$result['msg'] = 'FAILED to Activate License. Envato API request returned: ' . $json_data['error'];
} else {
$result['code'] = 121;
$result['msg'] = 'FAILED to Activate License. Envato states purchase code ' . $envato_purchase_code . ' is not valid.';
}
$result = str_replace('verify-purchase','verify_purchase',$data);
}
}
echo json_encode( $result );
echo "\n";
// update log file
$logfile = dirname(__FILE__) . '/' . basename(__FILE__, '.php') . '.log';
$fh = #fopen( $logfile ,"a" );
if ($fh) {
fwrite( $fh, date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s',time() ) . ' ');
fwrite( $fh, $envato_username . ' ' );
fwrite( $fh, $envato_purchase_code . ' ' );
fwrite( $fh, $website . ' ');
fwrite( $fh, isset( $item_name ) ? '"' . $item_name . '"' : '-' );
fwrite( $fh, ' ==> ' );
fwrite( $fh, $result['code'] . ' ' );
fwrite( $fh, '"' . $result['msg'] . '" ');
fwrite( $fh, "\n" );
fclose($fh);
}
?>

anant's anwer is missing quotes around the property name 'verify-purchase'. Try it again with quotes:
echo $LE->data->{'verify-purchase'}->item_name;
