Converting Data from JSON to PHP
Using the function json_decode
you can automatically convert
data from JSON format to PHP structures.
Let's look at an example.
Suppose we have the following JSON:
<?php
$json = '[1, 2, 3]';
?>
Let's convert the data to PHP:
<?php
$data = json_decode($json);
?>
Let's see what we got:
<?php
var_dump($data); // array [1, 2, 3]
?>
Convert the following JSON into a PHP structure:
<?php
$json = '[
"x",
"y",
"z"
]';
?>
