How to pull only specific json object field value in php? [duplicate]

Question

I am working on a php code as shown below:

echo "<pre>";print_r($episode);echo "</pre>";

The above php code displays the following o/p:

stdClass Object
(
    [air_date] => 2019-04-15 07:15:00
    [air_duration] => 9900
    [schedule_id] => 4220986
    [program_id] => 23
)

Now on doing print_r($episode->air_date); it displays the following o/p:

2019-04-15 07:15:00

Problem Statement:

I am wondering what changes I need to make here print_r($episode->air_date); so that it displays only date, not the time.

If you're just looking to print, you could just print the substring from the beginning to the position of the first space:

print(substr($episode->air_date, 0, strpos($episode->air_date, ' ')));
