How do I get certain message from a curl response?

Question

So i have a curl that returns this response.

 {"creditCards":[{"type":"CreditCard","nonce":"tokencc_bd_v3vyfk_7r75rw_vcprsv_yds997_9gz","description":"ending in 00","consumed":false,"threeDSecureInfo":null,"details":{"bin":"434769","lastTwo":"00","lastFour":"1100","cardType":"Unknown"},"binData":{"prepaid":"No","healthcare":"Unknown","debit":"Yes","durbinRegulated":"Unknown","commercial":"Unknown","payroll":"Unknown","issuingBank":"Unknown","countryOfIssuance":"USA","productId":"Unknown"}}]}

How ever I only want to echo (tokencc_bc_pyp7yn_vgdr5x_rr6rj8_zntbj5_n45) to be clean

I have already tried this code but it doesnt work

function GetStr($string, $start, $end)
{
    $str = explode($start, $string);
    $str = explode($end, $str[1]);
    return $str[0];
}

$message = trim(strip_tags(getstr($curl,'nonce": "','"')));
echo"$message";

Assume `$string` is the return from curl; `echo json_decode($string)->message;` — GrumpyCrouton, Jul 18 '19 at 15:21
Okay that works for my curl1 but for the returned string of curl 2 /**/callback_json7130933127f843d3b1aac141ada5e52b({"creditCards":[{"type":"CreditCard","nonce":"tokencc_bc_tc5n2d_hh8zc8_2bnqkb_kfqt5z_597","description":"","consumed":false,"threeDSecureInfo":null,"details":{"bin":"","lastTwo":"","lastFour":"","cardType":"Unknown"},"binData":{"prepaid":"Unknown","healthcare":"Unknown","debit":"Unknown","durbinRegulated":"Unknown","commercial":"Unknown","payroll":"Unknown","issuingBank":"Unknown","countryOfIssuance":"Unknown","productId":"Unknown"}}],"status":202}) — legolock holmes, Jul 18 '19 at 15:28
I want to get this tokencc_bc_tc5n2d_hh8zc8_2bnqkb_kfqt5z_597 but it doesnt work as echo json_decode($string)->nonce; — legolock holmes, Jul 18 '19 at 15:29
Update your question with that code, hard to read in comment. — GrumpyCrouton, Jul 18 '19 at 15:32
You are getting that exact string from a CURL request? it's not valid JSON. — GrumpyCrouton, Jul 18 '19 at 15:36
Is there a way I can get the certain text I want? Yes that is the response — legolock holmes, Jul 18 '19 at 15:38
You can't get the text you want easily without it being valid JSON. You could try `json_decode($string)->creditCards[0]->nonce` but I doubt it will work — GrumpyCrouton, Jul 18 '19 at 15:39
Hello would it be a valid json if this string would be removed? /**/callback_json7130933127f843d3b1aac141ada5e52b — legolock holmes, Jul 18 '19 at 15:50
then is there a php command that removes the first 48 characters? then using json_decode to get the string? — legolock holmes, Jul 18 '19 at 15:57
What API are you using that returns this data? It would be better to just fix it there... — GrumpyCrouton, Jul 18 '19 at 15:58
I have removed the callback thing but still I cannot get the nonce — legolock holmes, Jul 18 '19 at 16:18
As I said before, you also have to remove the parenthesis at the beginning and end. — GrumpyCrouton, Jul 18 '19 at 16:18
Yes I have removed it on the beginning and in the end making the code like this (check edited post) — legolock holmes, Jul 18 '19 at 16:22
With that exact output, you would access it with `json_decode($string)->creditCards[0]->nonce` — GrumpyCrouton, Jul 18 '19 at 16:24

$message will be json, so you'll need to first use json_decode on the result.

Then in order to access 'message' you would do this just as you would any other object.

$message = json_decode($message);
echo $message->message;
