How to convert JSON string to array

Question

What I want to do is the following:

1. taking JSON as input from text area in php
2. use this input and convert it to JSON and pass it to php curl to send

Answer 1

Make sure that the string is in the following JSON format which is something like this:

{"result":"success","testid":"1"} (with " ") .

If not, then you can add "responsetype => json" in your request params.

Then use json_decode($response,true) to convert it into an array.
