I am getting the response from one of the API calls something like this :
{status: 'true',description: '0617971781'}
I would like to convert into an associative array with ´status´ and ´description´ being the key elements.
I tried the following explode :
explode($str, ",")
But, I am not able to figure out how, still, Is there a quicker way to do it ?
Thanks
As said in comments, the string {status: 'true',description: '0617971781'} is not a valid json, but if you can modify the string you get to make it valid, you can use json_decode.
This question can help you to convert the invalid json into a valid one.
// this is a valid json
$json = '{"status": "true","description": "0617971781"}';
$obj = json_decode($json); //
$array = json_decode($json, true); // force the return type as full array
EDIT: added the 2nd parameter option as suggested by plain jane ;) + added link to change string into valid json
json_decode would return NULL in this case as this is not valid JSON.", and the string values should also use double quotes instead of single quotes.Your JSON is not a valid JSON.At first make it valid,if you no control on API call then contact with API provider.
Then try something like this:
$json = '{"status": "true","description": "0617971781"}';
$obj = json_decode($json); //
$array = json_decode($json, true);
print_r($array);
output:
Array ( [status] => true [description] => 0617971781 )
