Retrieve Curl Information json_decode

I connected to an e-commerce application via the following on the command line:

 curl -u xxxxxx: https://xxxx/xxx

It returns something like this: 

{ "charge_enabled": true, 
  "details_submitted": true, 
  "email": "[email protected]", 
  "id": "xxxx", 
  "statement_descriptor": "xxxx", 
  "xxxx": [ "USD" ] 
}

When I change this to PHP to run this in a script, I also can retrieve the same info via the following:

 $ch = curl_init('https://xxxx/xxxx');
 $options = array(        
  CURLOPT_USERPWD=> $xxxxxx
   );
  curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
  $result2= curl_exec($ch);

However, when I try to retrieve the individual information like the email, I am unable to do so. I try to do so via json_decode as follows:

 $parsedresult = json_decode($result2,true);
 $emailretrieve = $parsedresult["email"];

This returns only the single number 1 and not the email address.

Can anyone help and tell me what's wrong? I tried many things already posted here on StackOverflow and got none of them to work.

You should set the option CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER (mentioned in http://php.net/curl_exec) to fetch the result. Right now, you only get "successful" or "failed" as result.
