How do I access this JSON Element? (PHP) - php

Question

What am I doing wrong? This is my code:
$json_url = ";
$apikey = "..........";
$data_json = '{"user":"...........",
"customer" {"username":".....","password":".....","phishing":"....."},"seller":{"username":".....","password":"......","phishing":"....."},"amount":10000,"platform":"ps"}';
$ch = curl_init($json_url);
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $data_json,
CURLOPT_HEADER => true,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Connection: keep-alive',
'Accept: application/json',
'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8',
'Host: futservices.com',
'Content-Length: '.strlen($data_json).'',
'Accept-Encoding: gzip'
))
);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $response;
$order = json_decode($response, true);
echo "Your Token Is: ".$order['d'];`
The request goes through fine, however, I want to grab the "d" JSON element that sent by in a JSON Response from the API.
This is the response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: private, max-age=0 Content-Length: 44 Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.5 X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2015 16:58:09 GMT {"d":"d922bad4-60d8-4fe4-9cba-0231328744a0"}1Your Token Is:
As you can see "d" is not echoed after "Your Token Is: ".
How can I resolve this?

You need to set the CURLOPT_RETURN_TRANSFER flag to store the result of a CURL as a variable. What's happening is that the response is just being sent straight to your browser. Add the option as I have done below.
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $data_json,
CURLOPT_HEADER => true,
CURLOPT_RETURN_TRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
'Connection: keep-alive',
'Accept: application/json',
'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8',
'Host: futservices.com',
'Content-Length: '.strlen($data_json).'',
'Accept-Encoding: gzip'
))
);
I hope that helps!
