PHP – JSON ( json_encode() and json_decode() )

A common use of JSON is to read data from a web server, and display the data in a web page. This chapter will teach you how to exchange JSON data between the client and a PHP server.

  • json_encode()
  • json_decode()
json_encode() ( Convert array into json )
<?php
  $age = array("Peter"=>35, "Ben"=>37, "Joe"=>43);
  echo json_encode($age);
?>
json_decode() ( Convert json into array )
<?php
  $jsonobj = '{"Peter":35,"Ben":37,"Joe":43}';
  var_dump(json_decode($jsonobj));
?>
