how to get element from json_encode array response - Codeigniter

Question

I have a response from my code which looks like this

Controller

   $results = $response 
   echo $result->item;
   exit;

Response

{"item":"Samsung A","location":"Hamburg Avenue 5920"}

I want to get only item from the response..How do i achieve this ? The response is json encoded

Is there a typo in the controller code you posted? You've got both `$results` and `$result` variables. And if you're calling `exit` after echoing from the wrong variable, are you currently seeing any output at all? It's not very clear what the code is currently doing. — iainn, Mar 11 '20 at 12:35

You need to convert json to object, and after that you can get the element:

$respObject = json_decode($response);
echo $respObject->item;
exit;

Use json_decode the result will converted into array

$results = json_decode($response);
