how to Access to nested items in JSON with foreach PHP?

Question

I have the following JSON structure

{"Id":"1","Persons":[{"Name":"Carl","Time":"00:00:03","info":"","Timeext":"","Timeout":"","Timein":""}, {"Name":"Carl","Time":"00:00:03","info":"","Timeext":"","Timeout":"","Timein":""}{"Name":"Luis","Time":"00:00:08","info":"","Timeext":"","Timeout":"","Timein":""}]}

How I can have acces or read the item inside the nest? For example if I just want the value of time for Carl or all information about Carl. Till now I just can get without a problem the single item in the collection 'Id'. The rst nested items not. I tryed with json_decode like this:

if( $_POST ) {

            $arr['Id'] = $_POST['Id'];
            $arr['NP'] = $_POST['NP'];

            $jsdecode = json_decode($arr);

            foreach ($jsdecode as $values){
                echo $values->Time;
            }

Can PLEASE somebody help me?

use var_dump or print_r and check the array elements with their values — Sagar Pawar

Is the JSON sent as the full body of the request, or is it url-encoded? — Francis Eytan Dortort

if( $_POST ) {

        $arr['Id'] = $_POST['Id'];
        $arr['NP'] = $_POST['NP'];

        $jsdecode = json_decode($arr,true);

        foreach ($jsdecode as $values){
            echo $values->Time;
        }

Adding 'true' to json_decode converts it to array

Like this I am doing in the client side: success: function (data) { $(data).each(function(i, v){ alert( v.Time); }) },

You are processing it correct , Just add true as the second parameter to json_decode which will be converted to an Array like

$jsdecode = json_decode($arr,true);
