Answer 1

Decode into an array and pass it in your mysql_query, the code below is not using mysql_real_escape_string or any other means of security, which you should implement.

Assume $json is {"name":"jack","school":"colorado state","city":"NJ","id":null}

$json_array = json_decode($json);

You now have indexes in a php array, such as: $json_array['name']

mysql_query("INSERT INTO student (name, school,city) VALUES('".$json_array['name']."', '".$json_array['school']."', '".$json_array['city']."') ") or die(mysql_error());
