echo a specific element from a multi-element json array

Question

Can you anyone show me the correct syntax to echo a specific element from the snippet below? I wish to echo the accountName element. How about the employeeId element?

A part of the output of var_dump($api_response):

object(stdClass)#1 (3) {
  ["responseCode"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["responseObject"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    object(stdClass)#2 (50) {
      ["accountId"]=>
      int(429987)
      ["firmId"]=>
      int(129564)
      ["accountName"]=>
      string(12) "Acme"
      ["description"]=>
      string(0) ""
      ["website"]=>
      string(0) ""
      ["tickerSymbol"]=>
      string(0) ""
      ["rating"]=>
      string(0) ""
      ["assignedTo"]=>
      object(stdClass)#3 (33) {
        ["employeeId"]=>
        int(31142)

Notice that responseObject is an array, so use the array index to access the element(s) in it.

echo $api_response->responseObject[0]->accountName;
echo $api_response->responseObject[0]->assignedTo->employeeId;

if the responseObject contains multiple elements, use the foreach loop:

foreach($api_response->responseObject as $p)
{
    echo $p->accountName;
    echo $p->assignedTo->employeeId;
}
