PHP API Get Node

I am getting a API response as such: 

"alert": "success",
"content": [
    {
        "id": "HIDDEN",
        "answers": {
            "3": {
                "text": "Name",
                "type": "control_textbox",
                "answer": "Tim"
            },
            "4": {
                "text": "Telephone Number",
                "type": "control_textbox",
                "answer": "Sample"
            }
   }

Whilst I can get "alert" for example I am not sure how to get each of the "TEXT" responses

I have tried this:

foreach ($submissions as $submissions) {
      print "<p class='list'><b>" . $submissions["alert"] . "</b><br>"; $answer['text'];

}

Just to be clear the code above is returning the ALERT content but not TEXT. I understand this is because it is in an array but I can't get that returned, nor can I find any responses similar to this in JotForm or find the answer by reading up on APIs!

If you want an associative array as the result, you can specify the second parameter for json_decode() as `TRUE:

$submissions = json_decode($yourJSONstring, TRUE);

Now, you'll have an associative array in $submissions. We just need to loop through the array:

foreach ($submissions['content'][0]['answers'] as $submission) {
    print $submission["text"]."<br/>"; 
}

Output:

Name
Telephone Number

Similarly, you can access other elements too.

See it live!

I am not sure how you are processing it, but if you use $submission= json_decode($api_response, true); you will get a multi-dimensional array, which you can loop through or access however you would like.

$submission["alert"] //"success"
$submission["content"]["answers"]["3"]["text"] //"name"
