JSON Decode decodes only part of the JSON string?

Question

When I'm trying to decode the JSON string to the array, it decodes only one entry from the entire string.

    public function GetAllCommunities() {
        $json_url = "URL";
        $json_name = "NAME";

        $returnArray = null;

        $curl_init = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($curl_init, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
        curl_setopt($curl_init, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($curl_init, CURLOPT_URL, $json_url);
        $result = curl_exec($curl_init);
        curl_close($curl_init);

        //print_r($result);

        $jsonArray2 = json_decode($result, true);

        print_r($jsonArray2);
    }

When I print_r the result, I get all the data, but when I do decode the json_decode($result, true);, I get only 1 entry from the entire feed.

Any idea why? Could this mean there's error in the feed?

I have nested JSONs there, and I'm checking their correctness by using this: http://json.parser.online.fr/

Thanks.

You can't have duplicate entries. In your JSON string, you have Community repeated several times. Check here: jsonlint.com — Amal

Your JSON is malformed. You have several objects on the same level with the same name (Comnunity).

Instead of

[
    {
        Comunity: ... ,
        Comunity: ... ,
        Comunity: ... ,
    }
]

Do:

[
    {
        Comunity: ... 
    },
    {
        Comunity: ...
    },
    {
        Comunity: ...
    }
]

There are several possible ways, but the one he tries is def not working :D

@scragar: I think he's getting the JSON structure from an external feed, so he probably wouldn't be able to edit the structure :p

I don't construct the feed, I'm just using it. thanks anyways.
