Mandrill app return this : [{"email":"steven@gmail.com","status":"sent","_id":"234we4fvba4a3e8517d7a9","reject_reason":null}] 
I need to get only the value of "status". Something like this: echo $result['status']; How can I do it in PHP?
use json_decode() to get the status.. like this :
<?php
$str = '[{"email":"steven@gmail.com","status":"sent","_id":"234we4fvba4a3e8517d7a9","reject_reason":null}]';
$json = json_decode($str, true);
echo $json[0]['status'];
 ?>
 
    
    you can use like
$json = '[{"email":"steven@gmail.com","status":"sent","_id":"234we4fvba4a3e8517d7a9","reject_reason":null}]';
$json_array = json_decode($json);
print "<pre>";print_r($json_array[0]->status);
