Question

SO I’ve been searching for a while now but I haven’t found anything useful. Im interested in decoding a json code like this:

[
{"server":"1","available":true},
{"server":"2","available":false},
{"server":"3","available":true},
{"server":"4","available":true}
]

I want to decode that using json_decode in php. How can I do that? =)

With the php native function json_decode you will get an structure that matches the json structure.

Use the function like this:

$myobject = json_decode('[
                            {"server":"1","available":true},
                            {"server":"2","available":false},
                            {"server":"3","available":true},
                            {"server":"4","available":true}
                         ]');

With this code you will have in $myobject this structure:

array(4) {
  [0] =>
  array(2) {
    'server' => string(1) "1"
    'available' => bool(true)
  }
  [1] =>
  array(2) {
    'server' => string(1) "2"
    'available' => bool(false)
  }
  [2] =>
  array(2) {
    'server' => string(1) "3"
    'available' => bool(true)
  }
  [3] =>
  array(2) {
    'server' => string(1) "4"
    'available' => bool(true)
  }
}
