PHP Parse this string

Question

I'm getting the following sample string through post parameter. I need to get the key value pair from the data to process further. I've used

json_decode($data)

But it throws an error. I copied the string into jsonlint and validated. The string is a valid json

Can someone help me on getting the key, value from the above sample?

Error:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string

Also, please show where you assign the JSON to $data. I think you may have escaping issues. — Jeff Watkins

You probably want $array = json_decode($data, true); and then do echo $array['553468811388609']; — user1592648

Downvotes because "an error" is not the most helpful description of the problem. — GluePear

Your issue is the second parameter of json_decode. If true, it will return an array, if false (by default) it will return a StdClass.

You should use the second parameter to true in your case.

Alternatively, you can embrace the fact that it returns an object and write : $object->553468811388609

Maybe $object -> {'553468811388609'} ?
