PHP: Illegal string offset

php

Solution

`$bmstatus` contains a JSON string. You have to decode it first to be able to extract the required information out of it. For this purpose, you can use the built-in function `json_decode()` (with the second parameter set as `TRUE` to get an associative array, instead of an object):

$json = json_decode($bmstatus, true);
echo $json['networkConnections'];

Problem

I know there already are questions like this, but It didn't help me. I get the follow error on my site: Warning: Illegal string offset 'networkConnections' in /var/www/bitmsg/templates/header.php on line 25 { The line is ` <?= $bmstatus["networkConnections"] ?> p2p nodes ` if I `print_r` $`bmstatus`, then I get: ``` { "numberOfBroadcastsProcessed": 2308, "networkStatus": "connectedAndReceivingIncomingConnections", "softwareName": "PyBitmessage", "softwareVersion": "0.4.1", "networkConnections": 52, "numberOfMessagesProcessed": 22888, "numberOfPubkeysProcessed": 8115 } ``` How to I fetch the information from this array? I've tried both `$bmstatus['networkConnections']` and `$bmstatus->networkConnections` but both is returning that error?
