{   "data": [      {         "name": "Social Media Manager",         "category": "Local business",         "id": "164691116879928"      },      {         "name": "Support! Muffin the fool (Oldham Chronicle FAKE)",         "category": "Community",         "id": "181377645219010"      },      {         "name": "Northplanet",         "category": "Local business",         "id": "132483460132622"      },      {         "name": "Social Media Manager",         "category": "Application",         "id": "102650199811234"      },      {         "name": "Top Ten Things To Remember Me By!",         "category": "Application",         "id": "375102030458"      }   ]}

 

how would i use $user = json_decode($json) to access the value of the first id like $user->id(0); but that dose'tn work!

[RichardRotterdam]

Try accessing it as an array instead of as an object

[Danny620]

like how could you give me some examples? please

[RichardRotterdam]

<?php 
$json = '{   "data": [      {         "name": "Social Media Manager",         "category": "Local business",         "id": "164691116879928"      },      {         "name": "Support! Muffin the fool (Oldham Chronicle FAKE)",         "category": "Community",         "id": "181377645219010"      },      {         "name": "Northplanet",         "category": "Local business",         "id": "132483460132622"      },      {         "name": "Social Media Manager",         "category": "Application",         "id": "102650199811234"      },      {         "name": "Top Ten Things To Remember Me By!",         "category": "Application",         "id": "375102030458"      }   ]}';
$array = json_decode($json, true);
var_dump($array);

 

this should easily help you figure it out yourself

[Danny620]

i can do that myself its just i need help in accessing the array like is it something like user('id','0');

//try:
foreach($array['data'] as $value) {
echo 'Name: ' . $value['name'] . '<br />' . "\n";
}

 

Pretty sure that will get you started.
