json_decode
(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PECL json >= 1.2.0)
json_decode — 对 JSON 格式的字符串进行编码
说明
mixed json_decode
( string $json
[, bool $assoc = false
[, int $depth = 512
[, int $options = 0
]]] )
接受一个 JSON 格式的字符串并且把它转换为 PHP 变量
参数
json
      
       待解码的 json string 格式的字符串。
      
This function only works with UTF-8 encoded data.
assoc
      
       当该参数为 TRUE 时,将返回 array 而非 object 。
      
depth
      User specified recursion depth.
options
      
       Bitmask of JSON decode options.  Currently only
       JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING
       is supported (default is to cast large integers as floats)
      
返回值
   Returns the value encoded in json in appropriate
   PHP type. Values true, false and
   null (case-insensitive) are returned as TRUE, FALSE
   and NULL respectively. NULL is returned if the
   json cannot be decoded or if the encoded
   data is deeper than the recursion limit.
  
范例
Example #1 json_decode() 的例子
<?php
$json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}';
var_dump(json_decode($json));
var_dump(json_decode($json, true));
?>
以上例程会输出:
object(stdClass)#1 (5) {
    ["a"] => int(1)
    ["b"] => int(2)
    ["c"] => int(3)
    ["d"] => int(4)
    ["e"] => int(5)
}
array(5) {
    ["a"] => int(1)
    ["b"] => int(2)
    ["c"] => int(3)
    ["d"] => int(4)
    ["e"] => int(5)
}
    Example #2 Accessing invalid object properties
Accessing elements within an object that contain characters not permitted under PHP's naming convention (e.g. the hyphen) can be accomplished by encapsulating the element name within braces and the apostrophe.
<?php
$json = '{"foo-bar": 12345}';
$obj = json_decode($json);
print $obj->{'foo-bar'}; // 12345
?>
Example #3 common mistakes using json_decode()
<?php
// the following strings are valid JavaScript but not valid JSON
// the name and value must be enclosed in double quotes
// single quotes are not valid
$bad_json = "{ 'bar': 'baz' }";
json_decode($bad_json); // null
// the name must be enclosed in double quotes
$bad_json = '{ bar: "baz" }';
json_decode($bad_json); // null
// trailing commas are not allowed
$bad_json = '{ bar: "baz", }';
json_decode($bad_json); // null
?>
Example #4 depth errors
<?php
// Encode the data.
$json = json_encode(
array(
1 => array(
'English' => array(
'One',
'January'
),
'French' => array(
'Une',
'Janvier'
)
)
)
);
// Define the errors.
$constants = get_defined_constants(true);
$json_errors = array();
foreach ($constants["json"] as $name => $value) {
if (!strncmp($name, "JSON_ERROR_", 11)) {
$json_errors[$value] = $name;
}
}
// Show the errors for different depths.
foreach (range(4, 3, -1) as $depth) {
var_dump(json_decode($json, true, $depth));
echo 'Last error: ', $json_errors[json_last_error()], PHP_EOL, PHP_EOL;
}
?>
以上例程会输出:
array(1) {
  [1]=>
  array(2) {
    ["English"]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      string(3) "One"
      [1]=>
      string(7) "January"
    }
    ["French"]=>
    array(2) {
      [0]=>
      string(3) "Une"
      [1]=>
      string(7) "Janvier"
    }
  }
}
Last error: JSON_ERROR_NONE
NULL
Last error: JSON_ERROR_DEPTH
    Example #5 json_decode() of large integers
<?php
$json = '12345678901234567890';
var_dump(json_decode($json));
var_dump(json_decode($json, false, 512, JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING));
?>
以上例程会输出:
float(1.2345678901235E+19) string(20) "12345678901234567890"
注释
Note:
The JSON spec is not JavaScript, but a subset of JavaScript.
Note:
In the event of a failure to decode, json_last_error() can be used to determine the exact nature of the error.
