Answer 1

you have multi levels of objects so use:

echo($event_json->data->object->fee);

Basically you are echoing fee, which is a member of the object name object, which in turn is the attribute of an object named data, which again in turn is a member of your $event_json object.

Answer 2

When you do a json_decode, you get an array of this data. So, you can access data like this:

$event_json['data']['object']['fee']

good luck

Answer 3

First, I would suggest passing true as the second argument to json_decode. This results in an associative array rather than an object, which makes it a little easier to work with.

Then, you can do this:

$fee = $event_json['data']['object']['fee'];

You can chain these square brackets as many times as needed to delve deeper into the array.

Answer 4

You can quickly acheive this in following manner:

$body = @file_get_contents('php://input');
$event_json = json_decode($body, true);
print $event_json['data']['object']['fee'];
