example:

<?php
  echo "country: ".[country];
?>

output must be:

country: US

Answer 1

Use json_decode

$json = '{ 
"status": "success", 
"country": "US", 
"countryCode": "+1",   
"regionName": "REGION NAME", 
"city": "NY" 
}';
$obj = json_decode($json);
print "country: ".$obj->{'country'}; // country: US

Answer 2

You must convert JSON to php array:

$json = '{ "status": "success", "country": "US", "countryCode": "+1", "regionName": "REGION NAME", "city": "NY" }';
$a = json_decode($json,true);

echo "country: ".$a['country'];
