Phrasing Json response in PHP - php

Question

So I have come to a slight issue in phrasing this api response.
I'm trying to phrase the screenshot data from this api response?..
I have tried the below but to no avail!.. It just seems to be NULL?..
any help would be great thanks
$jsonData = json_decode($response, true);
$testt = $jsonData->screenshot->data;
The response:

Answer 1

You set the assoc Parameter in json_decode on true, so it will return an array!
You just have to delete true like this:
$jsonData = json_decode($response);
$testt = $jsonData->screenshot->data;
Of course you can change true to false aswell:
$jsonData = json_decode($response, false);
$testt = $jsonData->screenshot->data;
More information about this in the PHP-Manual for json_decode

Answer 2

use it like
$jsonData = json_decode($aa, true);
echo $jsonData['screenshot']['data'];
working code

Answer 3

First, there is an error in your JSON on line 11 that stops json_deocde() returning a valid array (you should remove the trailing comma):
"numberStaticResources": 22,
Second, you are getting an array from json_decode() so you need to use the correct syntax:
$jsonData = json_decode($response, true);
$testt = $jsonData['screenshot']['data'];
