Hi there I have little problem to get an object from an xml output

I would like to optain a user id from XML so I can continue make an order in WHMCS from the user ID.

The way to get the responce I have:
$arr = json_decode($jsondata); # Decode JSON String

print_r($arr); # Output XML Response as Array

responce:
stdClass Object ( [result] => success [clientid] => 7 )

So my problem is how to get 7 in to $user_id

$arr is an object.
clientid is a member variable of that object.
You access members of an object with ->.

$var = $obj->memberVariable;

Hi,

by the way, JSON is not XML. Those are two completely different languages/formats.

So
$var = $result->result; will give responce success if is success
$var = $user_id->clientid; will give the user id??

Try it and see! You're not going to break anything!

You have a single object with TWO member variables: result and client_id.

What is $result? What is $user_id? Those aren't defined anywhere in your code.

When you call json_decode($jsondata), you get back a PHP object representing the JSON document, right? You've stored this object in a variable called $arr (which is a rather unfortunate name for an object).

If you want the client ID from this object, you use the standard object syntax:

$user_id = $arr->clientid; 

Maybe it's a good idea to convert the JSON document into an array rather than a PHP object:

<?php

$jsondata = '{"result": "success", "clientid": 7}';

// parse JSON document and turn it into an associative array
$response = json_decode($jsondata, true);

// that's your array
print_r($response);

// get user ID
$user_id = $response['clientid'];
print_r($user_id);
