Getting only the message of the status facebook php API

Question

I'm using the Facebook php api. I want to get only the message (string) of the users status. In my code it's returning lots of fields but I want only to get message field. How can I do that?

$request = new FacebookRequest($sess,'GET','/400495666788117');
$response = $request->execute();
$graph = $response->getGraphObject();

echo '<pre>' . print_r( $graph, 1 ) . '</pre>';

output :

Facebook\GraphObject Object
(
    [backingData:protected] => Array
        (
            [id] => 400495666788117
            [from] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [id] => *******
                    [name] => *******
                )

            [message] => aaa
            [updated_time] => 2015-03-02T11:59:12+0000

Get the raw_response and json_decode to get the message. This is assuming that you are querying for a single status. For multiple from a feed, you have to loop through the data element.

Single status

   $arrayResult = json_decode($response->getRawResponse(), true);
   $message = $arrayResult['message']; 

Feed

$arrayResult = json_decode($response->getRawResponse(), true);
foreach($arrayResult['data'] as $post){
    $message = $post['message'];
    $post_time = $post['created_time'];
}
