accessing a json.parse multidimensional array php

Question

I have the following json :-

{
    "firstName": "Jhon",
    "lastName": "Doe",
    "username": "jhon",
    "avatar": "localhost/uploads/avatars/default.jpg",
    "language": "ar",
    "birth_date": "2017-11-22 00:00:00",
    "weight_chart": [],
    "health_status": {
        "id": 130,
        "user_id": 258,
        "weight": 95,
        "height": 171,
    },

I decoded the above json

$user = json_decode($response);

Now i am able to print the firstname by using: $user->firstName

My questions is :-

Can i access the json values without decoding it ?
How can i access the "health_status" values id, weight ... ?

Your json is malformed, try this structure:

$str = '{
    "firstName": "Jhon",
    "lastName": "Doe",
    "username": "jhon",
    "avatar": "localhost/uploads/avatars/default.jpg",
    "language": "ar",
    "birth_date": "2017-11-22 00:00:00",
    "weight_chart": [],
    "health_status": {
        "id": 130,
        "user_id": 258,
        "weight": 95,
        "height": 171
    }
}';

$obj = json_decode($str);
echo $obj->firstName.' - ';
echo $obj->health_status->id.' - ';
echo $obj->health_status->weight;

response: Jhon - 130 - 95

@user2873860 Your JSON document in the question is malformed. If it's just a typo because you hand-wrote/edited it you should just admit/fix that so everyone can move on.
