PHP - cURL 注意：数组到字符串的转换

Question

When I try and grab a value from the cURL response. I am getting a Illegal string offset 'type' in . When I remove the index value and just do $resp_orders . It returns the whole response fine.

$ch = curl_init('https://api.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/<companynumber>');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTREDIR, 3);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); // follow http 3xx redirects
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "AUTH_KEY" . ":" . "");
        $resp_orders = curl_exec($ch); // execute

        print_r($resp_orders['company_name']);

Answer 1

curl_exec() is going to return a string. Assuming the result back is suppose to be a JSON result, then you need to json_decode it an array:

$resp_orders_json = curl_exec($ch);

$resp_orders = json_decode($resp_orders_json, true);

Answer 2

I think instead of: print_r($resp_orders['company_name']);

remove ['company_name'] just print_r($resp_orders);
