PHP Get specific item from this type of array

Question

I've tried out a bunch of the answers on here and figure this should be really simple.. trying to get into a hook for a woo pdf export plugin to integrate with ACF..

If I run this -

echo $this->order

I get this -

{"id":7,"parent_id":0,"status":"processing","currency":"GBP","vers

How can I pull out just the id aka first item?

Many thanks!

SOLUTION:

As per below essentially, the code I used that works is..

$thisOrd = $this->order;
$obj = json_decode($thisOrd);
echo $obj->id;

Thanks All.

That is a JSON String Well a part of one So look up json_decode() in the manual — RiggsFolly

You could try to decode the json string, into a stdObject

$obj = json_decode($this->order);
echo $obj->id; // 7

echo $order['id']

As he like, he can use json_decode($this->order) and the result will be an instance of stdClass or json_decode($this->order, true) and the result will be an array

convert it to array first

$arr = json_decode($this->order,true);
var_dump($arr['id'])
