String Object to Array with PHP

Question

Wonder, I get from some API the following string:

parseresponse({"eurusd":{ "id": "eurusd", "category": "Forex", "price": 1.3161, "name": "EUR/USD", "buy": 1.3162, "sell": 1.3159, "change": 0.00, "date":1328288216000}});

for some reason I can't replace it to Array when I using:

var_dump(json_decode($content));

and I trying with php function also:

function object2array($object) {
if (is_object($object)) foreach ($object as $key => $value) $array[$key] = $value;
    else $array = $object;
return $array;
}

any idea?..

You're trying to parse JSONP response as JSON, you should remove wrapping function first.

$response = 'parseresponse({"eurusd":{ "id": "eurusd", "category": "Forex", "price": 1.3161, "name": "EUR/USD", "buy": 1.3162, "sell": 1.3159, "change": 0.00, "date":1328288216000}});';
$json = preg_replace('/^parseresponse\((.*)\);/', '$1', $response);
$data = json_decode($json, true);
print_r($data);

That's strange, if your input matching the sample you provided it output should be correct. If not just tune regex for your needs.

You could try something like this:

$content = '{"eurusd":{ "id": "eurusd", "category": "Forex", "price": 1.3161, "name": "EUR/USD", "buy": 1.3162, "sell": 1.3159, "change": 0.00, "date":1328288216000}}';

function toArray($data) {
    if (is_object($data)) $data = get_object_vars($data);
    return is_array($data) ? array_map(__FUNCTION__, $data) : $data;
    }

$newData = toArray (json_decode($content));

print_r($newData);

output will be:

Array ( [eurusd] => Array ( [id] => eurusd [category] => Forex [price] => 1.3161 [name] => EUR/USD [buy] => 1.3162 [sell] => 1.3159 [change] => 0 [date] => 1328288216000 )

)
