Can't access json value returned from PHP script

Question

My PHP script returns response like

Optional({
    message = "";
    response =     {
        "session_id" = mf6pnrsf931m96g0hc3n4pjbw3;
        "session_name" = d72d1363f44031cac4148b0e6fa789d6;
    };
    "session_valid" = true;
    success = true;
})

How can I access/print the value of session id/session name in Swift 2.2? I dont have any problem in storing the value returned by 'session_valid'

No, no..I am able to access 'the_message' from the data, but I dont know how to print 'value1' or 'value2' — F Gala, Sep 19 '16 at 08:13
So you already have Swift code accessing the data? Can you show it? — Pekka, Sep 19 '16 at 08:14
See this..I know how this works.. var json = try! NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.AllowFragments) as? NSDictionary if let parseJSON = json { message = parseJSON[“message"] as? String } — F Gala, Sep 19 '16 at 08:19
key1 and key2 are actually 2 parameters which the response field is returning..i dont know how to access them — F Gala, Sep 19 '16 at 08:20
@FGala you need to edit the question and put your code there in proper formatting. — Umair Afzal, Sep 19 '16 at 08:23
Read the Apple article [Working with JSON in Swift](https://developer.apple.com/swift/blog/?id=37). It's for Swift 3 but you can learn the proposed procedures. — vadian, Sep 19 '16 at 08:25

     var parseObject: AnyObject?

    let data = NSData() //response data that you get from script(use this instead of "data"). if response is string then you need to convert the string to data


    do{
        parseObject = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: [])
    }catch let error as NSError{
        print(error)
    }

    let objectDic = parseObject as! NSDictionary

    if let status = objectDic.objectForKey("success") as? Bool  {
        if status == true {
            if let validSession = objectDic.objectForKey("session_valid") as? Bool{

                if validSession {
                    let response = objectDic.objectForKey("response") as? NSDictionary

                    print(response)
                }

            }
        }

    }

That doesn’t really seem to address the OP’s situation, though. Can you edit it to parse the specific bits they need? They already know how to parse JSON in general. – Pekka Sep 19 '16 at 08:25

What I needed was this-

let response = objectDic.objectForKey("response") as? NSDictionary

followed by

let session_name = response.objectForKey("session_name") as! String
