I have json result from API like:

 {
 "pagination":
 {
 "results" : 2248,
 "page" : 1,
 "page_size" : 200,
 **"pages" : 12**
 }, 

 "products" :
 [  {"id": "370c3876-a2b9-11e2-b2b4-bc764e10976c", "source_id": "",....}]}

I would like to retrieve "pages" : 12 from pagination. How can I do it?

I tried this and it worked fine

$data = ' {
 "pagination":
 {
 "results" : 2248,
 "page" : 1,
 "page_size" : 200,
 "pages" : 12
 }
}';
$response = json_decode($data, true);

echo $response['pagination']['pages'];//12
