json call from php twitter api

Question

$content = $connection->get('statuses/public_timeline');

. When I use this fragment in my php file. I would like to echo $content[0].text from result array that shown below:

Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
    (
        [in_reply_to_user_id_str] => 
        [coordinates] => 
        [geo] => 
        [user] => stdClass Object
            (
                [profile_sidebar_border_color] => a166d9
                [followers_count] => 40
                ...
            )

        [truncated] => 
        [text] => some dump text
        ...
    )
...
 )

How will I access [text] or [profile_sidebar_border_color]. What is the PHP syntax? Should I decode?

I suggest setting the 'true' flag for the 2nd arg in json encode (json_decode($your_data,true)). This makes the return data into numeric and associative arrays. I consider the mix of arrays and objects to be a pain in PHP, since the syntax is different but if the object has no methods, they do the same thing so there's no reason to mix them. Check out the json decode docs. — Mark Snidovich

You want

$content[0]->text

for the text and

$content[0]->user->profile_sidebar_border_color

For the user's profile sidebar border color
