Retrieving a value from a multidimensional array

Hello, so I am using the callback function https://smsgateway.me and my current code is here:

<?php
include "smsGateway.php";
$smsGateway = new SmsGateway('email@gmail.com', 'password');

$message = //extract number value from multidimensional array;

$number = "09058789624";
$deviceID = 5495;
$result = $smsGateway->sendMessageToNumber($number, $message, $deviceID);
?>

In the smsgateway.me documentation here I have used every HTTP POST request and as you can see the contact with the parameter there says that it is a multidimensional array that contains ID, name and number. Now I just wanted to get a number. How can i do this?

Since the response is in JSON, you do something like the following:

$json = json_decode($result);
echo $json->result->success->contact->number;

Of course, you should also add error handling and check if the object exists, etc.



For reference, I used the documentation that describes the response that is returned when posting a message, as noted here: Send message to number

Response format (for success) :

{
   "success":true,
   "result":{
      "success":[
         {
            "id":"308",
            "device_id":"4",
            "message":"hello world!",
            "status":"pending",
            "send_at":"1414624856",
            "queued_at":"0",
            "sent_at":"0",
            "delivered_at":"0",
            "expires_at":"1414634856",
            "canceled_at":"0",
            "failed_at":"0",
            "received_at":"0",
            "error":"None",
            "created_at":"1414624856",
            "contact":{
               "id":"14",
               "name":"Phyllis Turner",
               "number":"+447791064713"
            }
         }
      ],
      "fails":[

      ]
   }
}

First get the response data and print it, see the array structure using:

echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
echo "</pre>";


Based on this, get access to the required data.
