I am new to JSON and I am having a problem accessing particular values in the JSON array that is being returned from the API call. For instance, I would like to access the name value in the response data below (these are the first two responses from the API call). I know I am missing something obvious but I can't quit get it. Any help would be appreciated:
ReadResponse::__set_state(array(
0 =>
array (
'address' => '6866 N Rochester Rd',
'category' => 'Food & Beverage > Restaurants',
'category_ids' =>
array (
0 => 347,
),
'category_labels' =>
array (
0 =>
array (
0 => 'Social',
1 => 'Food and Dining',
2 => 'Restaurants',
),
),
'country' => 'us',
'factual_id' => '8e6aacfa-b435-407d-83f9-90cec16c1cf8',
'latitude' => 42.69804075,
'locality' => 'Rochester Hills',
'longitude' => -83.134586375,
'name' => 'Sushi Little Tokyo',
'neighborhood' =>
array (
0 => '\\Livernois-Tienken\\',
),
'postcode' => '48306',
'region' => 'MI',
'status' => '1',
'tel' => '(248) 608-1260',
),
1 =>
array (
'address' => '2964 S Rochester Rd',
'category' => 'Food & Beverage > Restaurants',
'category_ids' =>
array (

Try this PHP function json_decode() to translate your JSON response into a PHP multidimensional array where you can easily access the values in the array like the name would be
$name = $myPHPArray->country->name;
This is the result of a var_export. The data is all contained in an instance of the ReadResponse. To find out how you can access the data, read the source or documentation of that class.
