webservice receives array of parameters as string not as array

Question

I have developed a web service using php(zend) which receives array of parameters from ios app, but when the ios app sends the parameters, the web service receives them as string, and I can't convert it into array so I can't handle the request

received string format like this

  (
            {
            "parm1" = "val1";
            "parm2" = val2;
            "parm3" = val4;
            }
    )

How can I convert this json into array?

Use json_decode function to convert it into array.

Consider you are getting

$json = ' (
            {
            "parm1" = "val1";
            "parm2" = val2;
            "parm3" = val4;
            }
    )';
$array = json_decode($json,true); // this is the array

And you will get parameters :

$parm1 = $array->parm1;
$parm2 = $array->parm2;
$parm3 = $array->parm3;

json_decode takes a JSON encoded string and converts it into a array.

It looks like JSON format. Pass this string to method json_decode and it will convert it to an array for you (or any other object it was encoded from).

Just use json_decode to decode this json into array. Use the code below

$json = ' (
            {
            "parm1" = "val1";
            "parm2" = val2;
            "parm3" = val4;
            }
    )';
$array = json_decode($json,true); // this is the array

Hope this helps you
