Parse Laravel Array

Question

This seems like a very basic question, but I just cannot figure it out. I am trying to parse through this array in a blade template.

I am saving data to a session variable that is an array. When I dd the variable in the view I get this...

"[["Less than $50,000","$50,000-$100,000","More than $100,000"],["Step2-option1","Step2-option2"],["Step3-option2"]]"

It looks like it's saving to the database as a string instead of an array. Is that correct? When I try to dd($variable[0]) I only get "[". If it is a string, I need to be saving it another way or at least taking this and converting it back to an array.

Each piece of this "array" is from a multi-step form that I am aggregating into a session variable using Session::push();

Thanks for your help!

How are you saving/storing the data? Show that part of your code. — Kenny Horna

Can you try json_decode first? then show us the new result. add true also as the 2nd parameter. — Vandolph Reyes

I don't know how it would work if you don't have escaped double quotes or used combination of single quotes/double quotes there. And secondly, we don't know your DB structure to help with insert. — Tpojka

Wow...json_decode was the way. I can't believe I didn't see that. Thanks, Vandolph! Feel free to submit that as an answer if you like and I'll check it. — Matt Pierce

Use json_decode, if still not working, try to add true in the 2nd parameter.
