I have the following code that searches for tweets with the hashtag "baseball".
<?php
echo "<h2>Simple Twitter API Test</h2>";
require_once('TwitterAPIExchange.php');
/** Set access tokens here - see: https://dev.twitter.com/apps/ **/
$settings = array(
'oauth_access_token' => "*****",
'oauth_access_token_secret' => "*****",
'consumer_key' => "****",
'consumer_secret' => "*****"
);
$url = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json';
$requestMethod = 'GET';
$getfield = '?q=#baseball';
$twitter = new TwitterAPIExchange($settings);
$string = json_decode($twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->performRequest(),$assoc = TRUE);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($string);
echo "</pre>";
?>
The output that i am getting is of the form :

I would like to print only the 'text' as well as the 'created at' fields . I am unable to decode json into an associative array and print it using the following code:
$string = json_decode($twitter->setGetfield($getfield)
->buildOauth($url, $requestMethod)
->performRequest(),$assoc = TRUE);
foreach($string as $items)
{
echo "Time and Date of Tweet: ".$items['created_at']."<br />";
echo "Tweet: ". $items['text']."<br />";
echo "Tweeted by: ". $items['user']['name']."<br />";
echo "Screen name: ". $items['user']['screen_name']."<br />";
echo "Followers: ". $items['user']['followers_count']."<br />";
echo "Friends: ". $items['user']['friends_count']."<br />";
echo "Listed: ". $items['user']['listed_count']."<br /><hr />";
}
Please suggest as to what changes should be made to print the associative array.
