print only part of JSON string

Question

I need a PHP way to show only store_name in PHP

I have tried the following with no success

    <?php
require_once("admin/system/core.php");
$fetch = new server();
$fetch->connect();
$store = $fetch->getstore("movies");

print $store;
?>

the JSON looks like this [{"_id":{"$id":"4f67da1538fc5d7347000000"},"store_name":"movies","categories":{"name":"hoyts","products":{"name":"GoldClass","Price":"12.00","CashBack":"2.00"}}}]

Have you tried, you know, parsing it?

I assume the returned value is json string. So you have to decode it from string to an object with json_decode function

$store = $fetch->getstore("movies");
$data  = json_decode($store);

foreach($data as $d) {
    echo $d->store_name;
}

assuming your array will be

$array = array('id'=>'4f67da1538fc5d7347000000',
        'store_name'=>'movies');
echo $json = json_encode($array);

it echo's

{"id":"4f67da1538fc5d7347000000","store_name":"movies"}

then you can use

$data = json_decode($json);
echo $data->store_name;

which echo's movies
