json_decode to array

Question

I am trying to decode a JSON string into an array but i get the following error.

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in C:\\w

Answer 1

json_decode support second argument, when it set to TRUE it will return an Array instead of stdClass Object. Check the Manual page of json_decode function to see all the supported arguments and its details.

For example try this:

$json_string = 'http://www.example.com/jsondata.json';
$jsondata = file_get_contents($json_string);
$obj = json_decode($jsondata, TRUE); // Set second argument as TRUE
print_r($obj['Result']); // Now this will works!
