authors is an array within an object and its elements are again objects. Thereby, you would access the name attribute of the first author like so:

$jsonStr = '{
 "title":   "Archive",
 "authors": [
  {
   "name": "MyName",
   "company":   "Company",
   "email": "emailopping.org",
   "website":   "website"
  }
 ]
}';

$result_content_module = json_decode($jsonStr);
echo $result_content_module->authors[0]->name;

The snippet from above will print the following.

MyName

According to your code snippet authors is an array of objects so you have to pass array index

$dt = '{
 "title":   "Archive",
 "authors": [
  {
   "name": "MyName",
   "company":   "Company",
   "email": "emailopping.org",
   "website":   "website"
  }
 ]
}';
$data = json_decode($dt);
echo $data->authors[0]->name;

Now if you have multi dimension array of authors then you have to use loop like following

    foreach($data->authors as $auth){
      echo $auth->name;
   }

You have a mixture of objects and arrays.

Specifically, authors is an array so should be accessed using square bracket, rather than arrow, notation. In your example, the array has one entry so you want index 0.

Try:

var_dump($result_content_module->authors[0]->name);
