PHP: Json decode error

Question

I'm trying to parse json string to mysql but I get an error saying array_keys() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given on line 58.

<?php
function array_value_recursive($key , $arr){
$val = array();
array_walk_recursive($arr, function ($v, $k) use($key, &$val){

        });
return count($val) > 1 ? $val : array_pop($val);

is your $_POST is in json as you dumped here, or an array ? — Viral

Because array_keys() wants an array and $trip is a (json-)string. you must call json_decode() before you are using the json-data.
