Parse JSON string contents into PHP Array

Question

I am trying to parse a string in JSON, but not sure how to go about this. This is an example of the string I am trying to parse into a PHP array.

$json = \'{         


        

Answer 1

Try json_decode:

$array = json_decode('{"id":1,"name":"foo","email":"foo@test.com"}', true);
//$array['id'] == 1
//$array['name'] == "foo"
//$array['email'] == "foo@test.com"

Answer 2

It can be done with json_decode(), be sure to set the second argument to true because you want an array rather than an object.

$array = json_decode($json, true); // decode json

Outputs:

Array
(
    [id] => 1
    [name] => foo
    [email] => foo@test.com
)

Answer 3

$obj=json_decode($json);  
echo $obj->id; //prints 1  
echo $obj->name; //prints foo

To put this an array just do something like this

$arr = array($obj->id, $obj->name, $obj->email);

Now you can use this like

$arr[0] // prints 1

Answer 4

You can use json_decode()

$json = '{"id":1,"name":"foo","email":"foo@test.com"}';  

$object = json_decode($json);

Output: 
    {#775 ▼
      +"id": 1
      +"name": "foo"
      +"email": "foo@test.com"
    }

How to use: $object->id //1

$array = json_decode($json, true /*[bool $assoc = false]*/);

Output:
    array:3 [▼
      "id" => 1
      "name" => "foo"
      "email" => "foo@test.com"
    ]

How to use: $array['id'] //1
