How to Decode Json object in laravel and apply foreach loop on that in laravel

Question

i am getting this request.   

 { \"area\": [
        {
            \"area\": \"kothrud\"
        },
        {
            \"area\": \"katraj\"
        }
             


        

Answer 1

your string is NOT a valid json to start with.

a valid json will be,

{
    "area": [
        {
            "area": "kothrud"
        },
        {
            "area": "katraj"
        }
    ]
}

if you do a json_decode, it will yield,

stdClass Object
(
    [area] => Array
        (
            [0] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [area] => kothrud
                )

            [1] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [area] => katraj
                )

        )

)

Update: to use

$string = '

{
    "area": [
        {
            "area": "kothrud"
        },
        {
            "area": "katraj"
        }
    ]
}

';
            $area = json_decode($string, true);

            foreach($area['area'] as $i => $v)
            {
                echo $v['area'].'
';
            }

Output:

kothrud
katraj

Update #2:

for that true:

When TRUE, returned objects will be converted into associative arrays. for more information, click here
