How to decode a JSON string in PHP?

Question

I have a JSON string that looks something like this:

{\"addresses\":{\"address\":[{\"@array\":\"true\",\"@id\":\"888888\",\"@uri\":\"xyz\",\"household\":{\"@         


        

Answer 1

print_r is your friend for figuring out JSON structure.

addresses->address[0]->address1;
$_SESSION['address2'] = $addresses->addresses->address[0]->address2;
$_SESSION['address3'] = $addresses->addresses->address[0]->address3;
$_SESSION['city'] = $addresses->addresses->address[0]->city;
$_SESSION['postalCode'] = $addresses->addresses->address[0]->postalCode;

print_r($_SESSION);

Results in:

Array
(
    [address1] => xyz
    [address2] => 
    [address3] => 
    [city] => xyz
    [postalCode] => 111111
)
