JSON data as string >> MAKE object to access data?

Question

I have a form that gets a data stream back from an outside server. The result returns as text that looks like JSON, but it isn't an object - is there an easy way to turn the string below into an object so I can access the info in it? Or am I just missing something REALLY simple?

Here's what I get back, and I need to get the transaction_id. Keep in mind, this is NOT an object, just a text string.

{
    "result_code":     "TargetNameExist",
    "transaction_id":  "74cdb984f9914e93acbc04579d6675ee"
}

Use the Json Decode function:

json_decode ( string $json )

THANKS! I know it was simple... I was able to access the individual variable like this: $jtest = json_decode ( $response->getBody(), true ); echo "transaction_id=" . $jtest['transaction_id'];
