Reading data from a PHP subarray

Question

Arrays always blow my mind and even the simplest tasks sometimes seem impossible!

I need to read the value of [total] from [exact_matches]. How do I do it?

$result = Array ( 
           [exact_matches] => Array ( 
                [total] => 0 
                [members] => Array ( ) 
           ),
           [full_search] => Array ( 
                [total] => 1 
                [members] => Array ( ) 
           ) 
        )

Thanks in advance for any help!

Use $result['exact_matches']['total'] – Sunil Pachlangia Sep 28 '15 at 07:37 — Sunil Pachlangia, Sep 28 '15 at 07:37

For level one you would do,

$total = $result['exact_matches']['total']; which would return 0;

for the second total

$total = $result['exact_matches']['full_search']['total']

which would return 1;

First Total:

echo $result['exact_matches']['total'];

Second Total:

echo $result['exact_matches']['total']['full_search']['total'];

I don't know which total do you want
