Answer 1

I assume this is a JSON string you have in your hands so basically:

$arr = json_decode($str, true);
$name = $arr[0]["name"];

Answer 2

If you call your array $myArray you would extract only the variable name like so:

$name = $myArray->name;

And if it's JSON:

$myJSONArray = json_decode($myArray);
$name = $myJSONArray[0]["name"];
