How to decode json string stored in variable in php

i have a response encoded in JSON. Stored in a variable and trying to decode. But it not displaying any thing. code is here 

echo $response; //prints response like

({ "OrderStatus" : "REJECT", "OrderID" : "","PONumber" :"", "Reject Reason" : "INVALID_FLD_VALUE You have entered an Invalid Field Value 41111 for the following field: ccnumber", "AUTHCODE" : "", "ShippingCost" : "", "HandlingCost" : ""});

//Trimming braces etc
$routes = ltrim($response, '('); //left trim
$routes_comp= rtrim($routes, ');'); //right trim
echo "<br/>"; 
  echo $routes_comp;

  //decoding here 
   $jsoni=json_decode($routes_comp);
   $var= $jsoni->OrderStatus;
    print_r($var);

Done with this tech. actually the error was white spaces between json string words.

     $routes_comp=preg_replace('/\s+/', '',$routes_comp);
     $json=json_decode(stripslashes($routes_comp));
     $os=$json->OrderStatus;

use json_decode($routes_comp, true); -- Wrong

EDIT Tested your code creating response variable as you said it was;

$response = '({ "OrderStatus" : "REJECT", "OrderID" : "","PONumber" :"", "Reject Reason" : "INVALID_FLD_VALUE You have entered an Invalid Field Value 41111 for the following field: ccnumber", "AUTHCODE" : "", "ShippingCost" : "", "HandlingCost" : ""});';

$routes = ltrim($response, '('); //left trim
$routes_comp= rtrim($routes, ');'); //right trim
echo "<br/>"; 
  echo $routes_comp;

  //decoding here 
   $jsoni=json_decode($routes_comp);
   $var= $jsoni->OrderStatus;
    print_r($var);

      exit;

Got This 

<br/>{ "OrderStatus" : "REJECT", "OrderID" : "","PONumber" :"", "Reject Reason" : "INVALID_FLD_VALUE You have entered an Invalid Field Value 41111 for the following field: ccnumber", "AUTHCODE" : "", "ShippingCost" : "", "HandlingCost" : ""}REJECT

So I think $response may be coprrupted somehow. Could you put var_dump before trimming and test again?
