$id = $json_array['response']['songs'][0]['id'];

Explanation

Take a look at the answer, your answer is a multidimensional array. This means that you have an array formed by several arrays, and each of them can contain one or more arrays.

In the first array you have the "answer", this one contains the rest, so ..

$id = $json_array['response']

from that array, you have to step inside until you get your desired element. What's in the songs of other arrays, so ..



$id = $json_array['response']['songs']

This one has multiple numbers indexed items, since you want the id from the first song we select item 0,

$id = $json_array['response']['songs'][0]

after that you can get the element you want:

$id = $json_array['response']['songs'][0]['id'];

The returned array is json_decode, so to access you do like this:

$id = $json_array['response']['songs'][0]['id'];


If you want to work on an object, you need to convert:

$object = (object) $json_array;
$object->response->songs[0]->id
0
