How do I access nested arrays from a json_decode in PHP?

Question

I have spent hours at this and I've read loads of answers here on stackoverflow and none have helped.

All I've been able to do so far is to print Market Square - Clifden for this example.

$obj = json_decode($data);
$obj = $obj[0];
print $obj->{'title'};

I can't figure out how to access "name" nested inside "image" so I can get market_square_clifden.jpg.

I'd be grateful for some pointers.

array(1){
        [0]=>array(12){
            ["_id"]=>array(1){
                ["$oid"]=>string(24)"51f674e4e4b0066cc8197033"
            }

As the commenters mentioned, please fix your variable formatting - it helps get answers more quickly.

Assuming you are using default json_decode settings, each JSON object will become a PHP object. (See the json_decode documentation at php.net.)

$obj = json_decode($data);
$obj = $obj[0];
// title attribute
$obj->title
// image object
$obj->image
// image name
$obj->image->name

If you force everything to be associative arrays:

$obj = json_decode($data,true);
$obj = $obj[0];
// title attribute
$obj['title']
// image object
$obj['image']
// image name
$obj['image']['name']
