I have trouble reading a particular array in a JSON feed - php

Question

I use json_decode() to parse a json feed and everything works just fine until I come to the array (media) that keeps digits as key instead of letters. I have tryed everything but all I get is different errors when it comes to this array (media)
The media array contains links to images and I just need the first image in every media array really. But the array can keep random digits in different order for the image links.
But the main problem is that I can't print this key, even if I know the name of it is "10" for example.
My second problem is that I never know the digits of the first image.
I would be very grateful if I can get help with this.
My code:
$data = json_decode($json_obj);
foreach($data->events as $event) {
echo $event->eventDateTime.'<br>'; //works
echo $event->eventId.'<br>'; //works
echo $event->title->eventTitleText.'<br>'; //works
echo strtoupper($event->venue->city).'<br>'; //works
echo $event->venue->title.'<br>'; //works
echo $event->ticketing->url.'<br>'; //works
echo $event->media->10.'<br>'; // Does NOT work
}
Below is a complete json feed that contains just 1 event.

Answer 1

You need to use curly braces:
echo $event->media->{10}->width;
If you do not know what the properties will be called, you can iterate them in a nested loop:
foreach($event->media as $media){
echo $media->width . '<br/>';
}
To just get the 1st property, if you do not intend to iterate them, you can use reset():
$first = reset($event->media);
echo $first->width;
