Understanding Nested JSON Arrays in PHP

Working with JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) in PHP can seem daunting, especially when you're faced with nested structures. If you’re new to PHP and need to read nested JSON arrays, it’s essential to understand how the data is organized and how to access it correctly.

The Problem

You might encounter a long nested JSON structure like this:

Suppose you want to extract and print the value of hostPoolType for each pool. Attempting to do this with the following code snippet might lead to an error:

In this case, the code fails because it’s looking for properties in the wrong place. The properties array is nested inside each element of the value array.

Let's see how to approach this correctly.

The Solution

To effectively read and print the values of hostPoolType, follow these steps:

Step 1: Decode the JSON

First, use json_decode() to convert the JSON string into a PHP associative array:
