PHP Echo from multidimensional arrays

Question

I'm trying to echo the "name" variable from this array.

array(2) {
    ["error"] => bool(false)["response"] => array(8) {
        ["id"] => int(560277)["name"] => string(7)
        "Jeff" ["avatar"] => string(55)
        "https://etc.etc" ["joinDate"] => string(19)
        "2015-09-21 16:47:53" ["steamID64"] => int(76521228272726998)
    ["groupName"] => string(6)
        "Player" ["groupID"] => int(1)["permissions"] => array(2) {
            ["isGameAdmin"] => bool(false)["showDetailedOnWebMaps"] => bool(false)
        }
    }
}

I'm not sure how to access it, I've tried: json->response->name;, but this won't work because this is an array not an object and json[0]["response"]["name"];

EDIT: The array is coming from a json API, here is an example. https://api.truckersmp.com/v2/player/2

I am then converting that using

$json = (json_decode($tmpServer, true, JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING));

@girish I tried echo($json['response']['name']);, but the output is empty. — chipyzs

can you show how you have formed the array and whether it is converted from javascript to php? — girish

i got it working on php fiddle like this

$arr = file_get_contents("https://api.truckersmp.com/v2/player/2");

$decoded = json_decode($arr,true);

echo $decoded["response"]["name"];
