Convert json to array and iterate array

Question

I'm using curl to receive a json object but I'm having problem to convert it and iterate it to insert in database.

I start to decode the information received:

$response = json_decode(curl_exec($curl), true);

and it return this:

array(1) { ["d"]=> string(14033) "[{"casa":181,"id":"8892","nome":"XPTO","morada":"rua 1"}]"

Next I access to "d" because I don't need that:

$resp =  $response["d"];

and it returns this:

"[{"casa":181,"id":"8892","nome":"XPTO","morada":"rua 1"}]"

How can why iterate this with " "?

What is the better way to do that?

Thank you

You can do double decode because your curl response is double encoded, Do it this way-

$response = json_decode(curl_exec($curl), true);
$resp = json_decode($response['d'], true);

As they can already access $response["d"], it looks as though you only need to decode this rather than decoding the whole thing twice.
