How to parse JSON decoded by cURL on PHP

Question

I 'm trying to make some pages with php and curl using REST API. I can connect application and get all values as JSON format with curl on PHP. But, I can not parse values what i want.

I used this PHP commands for decode json values ;

$data = json_decode($response, true);
print_r($data);

When I use this command i'm getting returning value like this ;

Array ( [links] => Array ( ) [content] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [@type] => ConsumerEnt [links] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [@type] => link [rel] => GET: Request [href] => http..... ) => Array ...etc

There are arrays inside arrays.. I could not find how to parse values i want. You can see values i want at following json codes;

Do you have any idea how it can be possible ?

You should start with the manual: http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php — jeroen, Oct 27 '16 at 08:42
The parsing is perfect. You have to iterate through the array to get the desired result — Mayank Pandeyz, Oct 27 '16 at 08:44

I guess i solved my issue like this ;

$data = json_decode($response, true);
print_r($data);

  $j=count($data["content"]);

                for ( $say=0 ; $say < $j ; $say++ )
                {

                    print $data["content"][$say]["name"];

                }

as a result i can list my products ;

Product1
Product2
Product3
