How to parse multi associative arrays to echo out by key values

Question

Hey guys Im a student and my question might seem simple but i can't find the right answer anywhere. Please take a look. as you can see $parsed_json works fine with this code $parsed_json = $parsed_json['photos']; how do i add another key of the array there? i tried $parsed_json = $parsed_json[(['photos']['contactInfo'])]; but did now work. Any help will much appreciated. Thank you.

<?php

$json_string =    file_get_contents("api/goes/here")
$parsed_json = json_decode($json_string, true);

print_r($parsed_json);

$parsed_json = $parsed_json[(['photos']['contactInfo'])];



foreach($parsed_json as $key => $value)
{
echo $value['typeName'] . '<br>';
echo $value['typeId'] . '<br>';
echo $value['familyName'] . '<br>';
// etc


?>

Square brackets provide access to elements of the array or string or object(javascript) or JSON. So use $parsed_json[any][amount][of][braces] to reach needed level of parsed JSON — Timur Gilauri, Aug 03 '17 at 23:18
Please add a sample of your JSON. It's clear to see what's wrong, but without a look at the input, it's not as obvious how to fix it. — Don't Panic, Aug 03 '17 at 23:24
@Don'tPanic Hey I just added the JSON. Please have a look and let me know. thank you. — SHARKY, Aug 04 '17 at 00:13

The short answer is that if $parsed_json represents an associative array of associative arrays, then it stands to reason that $parsed_json['photos'] is an associative array itself. To access the 'contactInfo' value inside it, you simply use $parsed_json['photos']['contactInfo'].
