Multi dimensional associative array in php

Question

I need some guide to associative array below, how do i access or retrieve specified value,for example the height under the student_name "Kevin" in the student_details in JSON format.

<?php
$college=[
    'college_id' => '123',
    'student_details'=> [
        'student_name'=>[
            'Kevin'=> [
                'height'=>'170',
                'weight'=>'65',
            ],
            'Daniel'=> [
                'height'=>'170',
                'weight'=>'65',
            ] ,
            'Paul'=> [
                'height'=>'179',
                'weight'=>'70',
            ]
        ]
    ]
];
echo json_encode($college);
?>

Why would you deal try to deal with JSON in PHP? You should only be manipulating the array and converting to JSON for output. — Devon Bessemer, Jul 17 '18 at 02:22
if i need to pass this array in JSON encode to another page, how should i access the value in it ? — Lin Chee Wei, Jul 17 '18 at 02:29
Is another page a PHP or JavaScript? If PHP so you can use `json_decode()` — Rendi Wahyudi Muliawan, Jul 17 '18 at 02:34

If you use $array = json_decode($json, true);

<?php
echo $array['student_details']['student_name']['Kevin']['height'];
?>

Or if you use $object = json_decode($json);

<?php
echo $object->student_details->student_name->Kevin->height;
?>
