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 = '{"id":1,"name":"foo","email":"[email protected]"}';
Is there some library that can take the id, name, and email and put it into an array?
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] => [email protected]
)
Try json_decode:
$array = json_decode('{"id":1,"name":"foo","email":"[email protected]"}', true);
//$array['id'] == 1
//$array['name'] == "foo"
//$array['email'] == "[email protected]"
$obj=json_decode($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
json_decode? Now you lose the array keys, which seem to be quite usefull here.You can use json_decode()
$json = '{"id":1,"name":"foo","email":"[email protected]"}';
$object = json_decode($json);
Output:
{#775 ▼
+"id": 1
+"name": "foo"
+"email": "[email protected]"
}
How to use: $object->id //1
$array = json_decode($json, true /*[bool $assoc = false]*/);
Output:
array:3 [▼
"id" => 1
"name" => "foo"
"email" => "[email protected]"
]
How to use: $array['id'] //1
