I'm trying to slice a multi-array in php. I'm using google's geo-location api and I've managed to get it to return lat,lng and accuracy. I've used 

$message =  json_decode($result, true);

To convert the Json into an array. The problem I have is that I have the results in this form:

Array ( [location] => Array ( [lat] => 10.1453652 [lng] => 0.2338764 ) [accuracy] => 33 )

and I can't figure out how to extract the lat and lon. Can anyone help?

    `echo $message["location"]["lat"]` for lat. I guess you can understand how to get the lng... – dWinder May 15 '19 at 13:19
  • You are a legend, thank you. It would be embarrassing for me to tell how how long I've been struggling with this, but let's just say it's been far too long! – matt3526 May 15 '19 at 13:23

Try the following code:

echo $message['location']['lat'];

  • Do or do not. There is no "try". A ***good answer*** will always have an explanation of what was done and why it was done in such a manner, not only for the OP but for future visitors to SO. – Jay Blanchard May 15 '19 at 13:50

It's simple, if not what you are expected, its straight forward

echo $message['location']['lat'].' '.$message['location']['lng'];

Working demo.
