Access one element from array

Question

Im new to php. I have following situation:

$params   = array("code" => $_GET["code"], "redirect_uri" => $redirectUrl);
$response = $client->getAccessToken($accessTokenUrl, "authorization_code", $params);

$accessTokenResult = $response["result"];

$client->setAccessToken($accessTokenResult["access_token"]);
$client->setAccessTokenType(OAuth2\Client::ACCESS_TOKEN_BEARER);

$response = $client->fetch("https://oauth.reddit.com/api/v1/me.json");

And the result (print_r) from $response is this one:

Array (
    [result] => Array
        (
            [name] => histograf
            [created] => 12869553489
            [gold_creddits] => 0
            [created_utc] => 12869553489
            [link_karma] => 1
            [comment_karma] => 11
            [over_18] => 1
            [is_gold] => 
            [is_mod] => 0
            [has_verified_email] => 
            [id] => ap11l
        )

    [code] => 200
    [content_type] => application/json; charset=UTF-8 )

The point is now, how can I access the element name? I need to have the username to step further in the pgm.

I've tried these and none work:

$username = $response[0];
$username = $response->name;
$username = $response[0]name;

Solution:

$username = $response['result']['name'];

$respone = your array.
['result'] = The first element in your case.
['name'] = Access the name value.

In your example, to get the [name] field from the response:

$username = $response['result']['name'];

Replace the ['name'] with whatever field it is you are trying to access. For future reference, if you are testing the output of your script in an HTML file, you can surround your print_r() with <pre> tags as such:

<pre><?php print_r($response); ?></pre>

This makes the print_r() much more readable, and you'll be able to see the depth of the array.
