Question

if my JSON data is coming back as this:

{"errorCodes":[0]}resultArray=[{....}]

how do I grab the resultArray as the actual JSON string and ignore the rest?

and why would I need errorCodes in front of it?

Answer 1

Just use string manipulation to get rid of everything up through resultArray= and then decode with json_decode().

$json_raw = '...'; // the raw "JSON" string
$delimiter = 'resultArray=';
$cleaned_json = substr($json_raw, strpos($json_raw,$delimiter) + strlen($delimiter)));
$object = json_decode($cleaned_json);
