I'm trying to echo a value from the game stats of a certain CS:GO player using Steam's Web API.
I'm grabbing the file as so:
$gamestatlink = file_get_contents('http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUserStats/GetUserStatsForGame/v0002/?appid=730&key=<<MY API KEY>>&steamid=<<PLAYERS STEAM ID>>&format=json');
$statarray = json_decode($gamestatlink, true);
and attempting to echo the line with
echo $statarray['playerstats']['stats'][0]['total_kills'][0];
However, the echo returns empty.
The file returns

I use a similar code to read a player summary file, which is structured slightly differently, but the code works.
I am attempting to grab the value of total_kills.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I do not feel as though the answer at How can I access an array/object? helps me here, as the structure of the returned array is different, and uses a different api.
