Question

I have some JSON code in a string that I am trying to parse. I havent used JSON much so this is prolly a simple question.

It is like:

$json_code =" 
    {
    "key1":"value",
    "key2":"value"
    },
    {
    "key3":"value",
    "key4":"value"
    }";

Im having problems trying to loop through all of different Objects(? – the sets of curly braces) with php.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Bryan

You can’t use a JSON literal in PHP like that. Turn it into a string (wrap it in quotes), and then use json_decode() to access it in an object like manner.

If you’d prefer to access it like an array, set json_decode()‘s second argument to TRUE.

Update

I see you have wrapped it in quotes – you must now escape the inner quotes.

To loop through it, just use foreach() on the object or array returned from json_decode().

To visualise the structure once parsed via json_decode(), use var_dump().

Update

Your problem is, your JSON is not proper – it has 2 objects, but not in array literal syntax. You need to wrap that structure with [].
