How to decode a json response from API

Question

I am calling data from an API like this:

$curl = curl_init();
//adding fields to the curl object to enter the site
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $my_url);
curl         


        

Answer 1

Use json_decode(). If you want to view the php object so you can better understand how to use it, try

echo '
';
echo print_r(json_decode($jsonStr, true));
echo '
';
