json_decode.php

<?php

    // The response from an API call..
    $json_string = '{"array" : ["a", "b", "c"]}';

    // Use json_decode to get a JSON object as a PHP associative array
    $json_obj = json_decode($json_string, true);

    // Iterate through it for fun
    foreach ($json_obj['array'] as $value) {
        echo $value . "\n";
    }
