First steps in JSON

[herghost]

Hi all,

 

I am sure this is simple, but I just can't wrap my head around a suitable way of doing this!

 

Basically I have my JSON result as something like :

 

Array ( [result] => success [source] => gotBits [success] => 64 ) 

 

What I simply want to do is get the [success] output and store it as a variable.

 

I have been looking at json_decode, but I cant find any examples for arrays, just strings?

 

Can you push me in the right direction?

JSON can't be an array... it is a string. It looks like this:

{"one":1,"two":2,"three":3}

 

Using json_decode, you convert the JSON into an array.

Hi mate, its from a PHP page that calls a game server api.

 

I think I understand that I have the output of the array as a string???

Basically I am doing this:

 

<?php

$json = new MYCALL($host, $port, $username, $password, $salt);

print_r($json->call('getBits',Array()));

?>

 

Which prints the original string, basically how do I just take the result of [success]?

Hi dude still i m not completely cleared but

 

If you are getting value in an array format than u don't u store it in a variable and than use that variable to get that data example

$valueHolder = $json->call('getBits',Array());

 

print_r($valueHolder['success']);

Thats exactly what I was aiming at! Cheers!
