Sending string arrays to php

Question

I want to send string array to php by Json and retrieve there.

String[] Books = {"book1", "book2", "book3", "book4",..};

In Json:

List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>;
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("books", Books));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
...

In php side:

$books = $_POST['books'];
$result = json_decode($books);    // is this OK?

Or Can I use it like below?

$book1 = $result[0];

if u send data as Json then u need json_decode() but for row data without any json format the post data will be in array form. — Abhik Chakraborty

I'm sending by json. The thing is that I'm not sure if this method is true or not. Is $result and array or not. Is nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("books", Books)); a good method for sending string array or should I use nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("books", Books[])); here? — Namikaze Minato

$jsonString = '["[email protected]","[email protected]","[email protected]"]';
$arrayOfYourEmails=json_decode($jsonString);

Or

$jsonString = "[\"[email protected]\",\"[email protected]\",\"[email protected]\"]";
$arrayOfYourEmails=json_decode($jsonString);

and yes your this code is right

$books = $_POST['books'];
$result = json_decode($books);

In $arrayOfYourEmails=json_decode($jsonString); you are decoding a static $jsonString. But I need to decode String[] Books = ["book1", "book2", "book3", "book4",...].
