Access JSON object name in PHP

Question

I have the following JSON:

{
  \"nickname\": \"xadoc\",
  \"level\": 4,
  \"loc\": \"Tulsa, OK, USA\",
  \"score\": 122597,
  \"money\": 29412.5,
  \"street         


        

Answer 1

A simple way to extract data from Json string is to use jsone_decode() function. For example:

$json_data = '{"nickname":"xadoc","level":4,"loc":"Tulsa}';
$decoded_data = json_decode($json_data);

Then you can simply access the members of $decoded_data using -> operator:

echo "$decoded_data->nickname \n";
echo "$decoded_data->level \n";

And if your extracted members from $decoded_data are json strings again, then you can use json_decode() again!
