I make a curl request to a URL, got this JSON $data back

{"status":200,"message":"Success","data":[{"cpe_mac":"665544332211","device_mac":"223344556677","device_activity":"INACTIVE","dhcp_lease_held":"CONNECTED_DEVICE_DHCP_LEASE_NOT_AVAILABLE","ip_address":"127.0.0.3","vlan_id":1002,"hostname":"babyhost","dhcp_lease_start_time":400,"dhcp_lease_length":600,"interface":"WIRELESS","ssid":"2219","port_ranges":[{"startport":0,"endport":06000:6500}],"last_updated_utc_in_secs":1446061806668}]}

Then, I decode that $raw = json_decode($data, true);

When I print them out I got null:

dd($raw); // null

How can I convert that json to an array and access it?

If you're running PHP 5.5 or better you can use echo json_last_error_msg(); to see what the error was. Either way you must have malformed JSON. — user21926

Would your answer provide any value if the image weren't there? Pictures should illustrate things, not be the entirety of your answer.

Yes, it illustrates where the issue is in the json

This part:

[{"startport":0,"endport":06000:6500}]

of your JSON is invalid. The 06000:6500 is not a valid property value. Once I fixed that, json_decode worked properly.
