PHP JSON to Array
In this tutorial, we uses the json_decode() function to convert JSON data to array. If you want to check whether the JSON data is a valid one, please visit json_last_error() function.
Syntax
Convert JSON data to array, without assign the second parameter, it returns an object not an array.
json_decode($json_data, 1); OR (array)json_decode($json_data);
Example 1
<?php
$address = '{
"street1":"2459 Kub Rd",
"street2":"apt 3913",
"city":"Houston",
"state":"Tx"}';
$array_address = json_decode($address,1);
print_r($array_address);
?>
Output
Array
(
[street1] => 2459 Kub Rd
[street2] => apt 3913
[city] => Houston
[state] => Tx
)
Example 2
<?php
$name = '[
{"name":"John"},
{"name":"Mark"},
{"name":"Marry"}
]';
$array_name = json_decode($name,1);
print_r($array_name);
?>
Output
Array

[0] => Array
(
[name] => John
)
[1] => Array
(
[name] => Mark
)
[2] => Array

)
)
