how do i grab orderId from this array?

Question

How can i enter this array and grab the orderId ?

array(1) { 

["data"] => array(1) {

["orderId"] => int(100)
  }

}

ive tried to

print_r ["array"]["1"]["array"]["1"]["orderId"];

ive tried

foreach($array as $data)
echo ["data"]["orderId"] ;

Also note, i am receiving this json as a webhook and decoding it to php object with json_decode($json, true);

What am i missing? Should be simple but i cannot get it.

Thanks

@LioraHaydont, I guess the variable name is `$array`, as this variable is used in `foreach` loop. I am not sure whether this is a reserved keyword or not. — Vikas, Jun 08 '18 at 21:20
I would recommend that you [read the manual about arrays](http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php). It explains how you create arrays, read and set values. — M. Eriksson, Jun 08 '18 at 21:26
a hint: the '1' you see here `array(1) { ` is _not_ the index, but the size (number of items in the array). And the 'array' is a description of the datatype, not a name. (because you tried `["array"]["1"]`). So `$array['data']['orderId']` would be it. — Jeff, Jun 08 '18 at 21:37

If your array is named $that, use $that['data']['orderId'];

Assuming the JSON data you're receiving is in the $array variable:

$orderId = $array["data"]["orderId"];

I hope this helps :)

you're sure about the indexes (`[0]`)? – Jeff Jun 08 '18 at 21:39
Not sure, now that you mention it, the counts in the print_r statement could point to the amount of properties on the objects. In this case it should be: `$array["data"]["orderId"]` – Jesse Kramer Jun 08 '18 at 21:43
yup, that's it. but what we see (on the top) is a var_dump. Keys are always in `[]` - for print_r and for var_dump – Jeff Jun 08 '18 at 21:50
@Jeff I just edited my answer :) Thanks for pointing it out – Jesse Kramer Jun 08 '18 at 21:53
