Laravel 5.2 - convert json key values to array

Question

I have the following json object:

{"keywords": "foo", "industries":"1,37","contractTypes":"1"}

How can i convert the following key values in to an array as follows:

{"keywords": "foo", "industries": ["1", "37"], "contractTypes": ["1"]}

So basically I want to loop through the object and if property industries and contractTypes exist and not empty then convert the values into array.

Any reason why when you convert it, value for keywords is not in an array but value for contractTypes is? — runofthemillgeek

Define the list of properties that you want to convert to arrays
```
$array_properties = ['industries', 'contractTypes'];
```
decode the JSON
```
$object = json_decode($json);
```

Iterate the properties you defined and convert each one to an array if it exists on the object.

foreach ($array_properties as $property) {
    if (isset($object->$property)) {
        $object->$property = explode(',', $object->$property);
    }
}

You can re-encode the object to JSON afterward if you need to.
```
$object = json_encode($object);
```
