Get value from JSON array in PHP

Question

I\'m trying to get the value from this following JSON array in a PHP variable.

This is a var_dump of the array:

array(3) {
  [\"id\"]=>
  string(2         


        

Answer 1

you can convert a valid JSON string to a PHP variable with json_decode(). Note the second parameter to get an assoc array instead of the less usefull stdClass.

$jsonData = json_decode($data[0]['json'], true);
$header = $jsonData['Canvas']['MainObjects']['After Participation']['afterParticipationHeader'];

Answer 2

It looks like you need to decode it. Try using: $json = json_decode($data[0]['json']);

Let me know if this helps.

Answer 3

First you have to decode your json data

$json = json_decode($data[0]['json']);

Then you can access your AfterParticipationHeader

$json->Canvas[0]->MainObjects->{"After Participation"}->afterParticipationHeader

Answer 4

You can decode the JSON via the json_decode function:

$json = json_decode($data[0]['json']);

Then, you'll have arrays (in the same structure) with your data.
