getting value from nested json response

Question

Here is my json response where I want to fetch the User Id value.

I saw similar threads but did not help me.

Here is code how I acheive:

$tweets3 = $connection->get("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/home_timeline.json?include_entities=true&trim_user=".$userid."");
        foreach ($tweets3 as $item)
        {
                 echo $item->text;
                echo "<br/>";
                $tweet = $item->text;
                $userid = $item->user; // How to get user id here?
        }

And Json response:

UPDATED CODE

$tweets3 = $connection->get("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/home_timeline.json?include_entities=true&trim_user=".$userid."");
        $data = json_decode($tweets3,true);
         print_r($data);
        foreach($data as $key=>$val){
                 echo "--------------------------------<br />";
                 echo "Tweet : ".$val["text"];
                 echo "<br />";
                 echo "User : ".$val["user"]["name"];
                 echo "<br />--------------------------------<br />";
        }

But this does not give any output.

Answer 1

You can do

$tweets3 = $connection->get("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/home_timeline.json?include_entities=true&trim_user=".$userid."");

$data = json_decode($tweets3,true);

Now $data will be an array and you can loop through and get the values

UPDATE ON DISPLAYING ITEMS

foreach($data as $key=>$val){
 echo "--------------------------------<br />";
 echo "Tweet : ".$val["text"];
 echo "<br />";
 echo "User : ".$val["user"]["name"];
 echo "<br />--------------------------------<br />";

}

In the above I just displayed tweet text and user name, you can print_r($data) before the loop and see the different element names and can display within the loop.
