How can i get the value of fee in this response

I am integrating the postman api in the php application, for that i am using a curl call from php,

here is the code

<?php

class PostMates extends Controller {

public function getDeliveryQuote()
    {
            $url = "https://api.postmates.com/v1/customers/cus_XX/delivery_quotes";

    $uname = "70538e7";
    $pwd = "xxxx";

    $process = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded','Accept: application/json'));
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $uname . ":" . $pwd);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "dropoff_address=20 McAllister St, San Francisco, CA 94102&pickup_address=101 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94105");
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    $return = curl_exec($process);

    curl_close($process);

    //var_dump($return);
    print_r($return);


    }

}

While i do print_r and var_dump, below given is the response.

Solution

  • Here ya go. You have to parse the results.

    $result = json_decode($result,true); //decodes JSON to associative array
    
    echo $result['fee']; //750
    

    Alternatively, if you want to use an object format

    $result = json_decode($result); //decodes JSON to an object
    
    echo $result->fee; //750
    

    EDIT

    You also need to set CURLOPT_HEADER to false

    This includes response header in output

    curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
