Extract data from PHP curl response

My code is

$url = "URL";
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_URL => $url,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1
));
$result = curl_exec($curl); 
var_dump($result);
$json = json_decode($result);
print_r($json);

curl_close($curl);

The response from var_dump($result) is - 

string(1866) "{"status":true,"result":[{"time":"2016-11-15T19:20:27.000Z"},{"time":"2016-11-15T19:18:15.000Z"},{"time":"2016-11-15T19:15:03.000Z"},

The response I get from print_r($json) is -

stdClass Object
(
    [status] => 1
    [result] => Array
    (
        [0] => stdClass Object
            (
                [time] => 2016-11-15T19:20:27.000Z
            )

        [1] => stdClass Object
            (
                [time] => 2016-11-15T19:18:15.000Z
            )

        [2] => stdClass Object
            (
                [time] => 2016-11-15T19:15:03.000Z
            )

I need the value of time into some variable.

Something I have done in Javscript is -

var response = JSON.parse(xmlHttpSerie.responseText);
response.forEach(function(items)
{
    currentTime = items.time;
}

Can anyone tell me how do I get the value of time from the response in a variable?

echo $json['result'][0]['time'];

EDIT after major changes to the original question:

You need to use the second parameter of json_decode() to convert objects to associative arrays. Then you can use foreach() to cycle through the array and print times:

$json = json_decode($result, TRUE);
foreach ($json['result'] as $index => $v) {
  echo $v['time'].'<br>';
}
