get data from return value of mandrillapp array

Question

Mandrill app return this : [{"email":"steven@gmail.com","status":"sent","_id":"234we4fvba4a3e8517d7a9","reject_reason":null}]

I need to get only the value of "status". Something like this: echo $result['status']; How can I do it in PHP?

Answer 1

use json_decode() to get the status.. like this :

<?php

$str = '[{"email":"steven@gmail.com","status":"sent","_id":"234we4fvba4a3e8517d7a9","reject_reason":null}]';
$json = json_decode($str, true);
echo $json[0]['status'];

 ?>
