Multiple arrays after exporting from json?

Here's my JSON file:

{"settings":{"name":"pracamojanowa","owner":"kaitek666","id":"AhuJagUjAHu8"}}

I wanted to get the owner from this array. I have all values exported into an array, but when I try..

$data2['settings']['owner'][$_SESSION['user']];

I get a false return and an error:

Warning: Illegal string offset 'kaitek666' in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\login\home.php on line 84

That was a bit weird for me, but my print_r exported array looks a bit unusual as well:

Array ( [settings] => Array ( [name] => pracamojanowa [owner] => kaitek666 [id] => AhuJagUjAHu8 ) )

I need to access the owner value and the above PHP code to return true.

$data2['settings']['owner']

Contains the value of the owner.

By doing $data2['settings']['owner'][$_SESSION['user']]; you are attempting to treat the string "kaitek666" as an array, hence the error.

If you just want the value of the owner $data2['settings']['owner'] will contain what you want. if you want to check to see if the owner matches the user value in $_SESSION then do:

if($data2['settings']['owner'] === $_SESSION['user']){
    echo "Owner match!";
}else{
    echo "Owner does not match!";
}
