Looks like a JSON array. You should decode the array from JSON to PHP and then access it like any other array.

Using the following may help you visualize your array better:

echo "<pre>"
print_r($your_array);
echo "</pre>";

Then to access your data, you would need to loop over the outter array then any sub arrays using foreach($your_array as $value).
