Question

Let’s say I have this:

var achievementData = {
    "achievements": { 
        0: {
            "id": 0,
            "title": "All Around Submitter",
            "description": "Submit and approved one piece of content in all six areas.",
            "xp": 500,
            "level_req": 3
        }, 
        1: {
            "id": 1,
            "title": "Worldwide Photographer",
            "description": "Submit and approved one piece of image content in all six areas.",
            "xp": 1200,
            "level_req": 1
        }, 
        2: {
            "id": 2,
            "title": "Super Submitter",
            "description": "Get approved 10 players and 2 clubs in one week or less.",
            "xp": 2500,
            "level_req": 5
        }, 

        }
};

That’s JavaScript, so how I would turn it into PHP? I tried changing brackets and finding information on PHP arrays but it seems it’s just SIMPLE examples.

You should use json_decode() to turn that string into something useful in php, with second parameter set to true it will give you an associative array.
