In DB TEXT field i have saves string (polygon coordinates), similar to this: "[[35.408686311173874,-119.14944509590913],[35.408686311173874,-119.14538959587861]]"
What would be the easiest way to convert this string back to actual PHP array like this: [[35.408686311173874,-119.14944509590913],[35.408686311173874,-119.14538959587861]], when assigning it to a variable?
When I try to unserialize I get this error unserialize(): Error at offset 0 of 163 bytes
At fist, I thought it will be easy, but I still haven't found a solution on how to do that. Any thoughts? Thank you.

As #Nick noted, json_decode worked.

I have been scratching my head with this one and wonder if anybody would be kind enough to give me a pointer. I am extracting some data as a variable from JSON to PHP, and I can do this no problem when there are nested nodes - IF the node is a text but not if the node is a number. I am using json_decode
THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS How do I extract data from JSON with PHP?
This is ok
$get_temp = $jsonobj->main->temp;
This is not working
$get_weather = $jsonobj->main->0->weather;
So my question is how do I target the node when it is a number?
Thanks
Probabily you have an array into main node.. so you can get its value with an index like this:
$get_weather = $jsonobj->main[0]->weather;
Where 0 is the index that you want to get
$get_weather = $jsonobj->main[$x]->weather;
$x would be the index
This should work:
$get_weather = $jsonobj->main[0]->weather;

if i solve this i will have my desired result for any expert this will take few minutes to guess and i am stuck in this from last 2 hours searching and googling but couldn't found the one i want. Okay so here is the thing ...
I am sending data through ajax to my php by doing JSON.stringify and receving that that to my php in the form of this
{"0":["BE","test","test","1993"],"1":["HSSC","test","test","1995"]}
All i want to do is to get the values and insert them to the separate variables.
You need to use json_decode to convert the string to array. You can pass the second parameter to this method to convert this to array instead of object. Then you can retrieve the data like
$string = '{"0":["BE","test","test","1993"],"1":["HSSC","test","test","1995"]}';
$array = json_decode($string, true);
print_r($array[0][0]);
Here's the example of it https://repl.it/HhI8/1

Have tried every variation I can think of to access an object property in an array. I'm getting some data back form an API which i'm storing in a variable called $userTokenValid:
$userTokenValid = [{"authTokenValid":1}];
i'm then trying to access the authTokenValid property like so:
echo json_decode($userTokenValid[0]->authTokenValid);
I appreciate this might be quite basic but can't spot where I have gone wrong.
$userTokenValid isn't valid php. However [{"authTokenValid":1}] is a valid json string.
$userTokenValid = '[{"authTokenValid":1}]';
you can decode it with
$json = json_decode($userTokenValid);
finally
echo $json[0]->authTokenValid;

What kind of string is this? How do I unserialize this string? [duplicate]

I got the following string:
a:16:{i:0;s:1:"6";i:1;s:2:"12";i:2;s:1:"2";i:3;s:2:"11";i:4;s:1:"7";i:5;s:2:"10";i:6;s:2:"16";i:7;s:1:"5";i:8;s:1:"3";i:9;s:1:"1";i:10;s:2:"14";i:11;s:1:"8";i:12;s:2:"13";i:13;s:1:"9";i:14;s:1:"4";i:15;s:2:"15";}
I can't use
var_dump(json_decode($json))
because it doesn't return anything. I found 2 websites that where a bit usefull:
http://jsonlint.com/ for checking if the object is valid (what it ain't) and http://www.unserialize.com/ wich can 'unserialize' the json string back to an array.
Now I wonder what unserialize does to the json string. So I can use it in my script as well.
Looks like this is in serialized form. You need to use unserialize() function here.
$input = 'a:16:{i:0;s:1:"6";i:1;s:2:"12";i:2;s:1:"2";i:3;s:2:"11";i:4;s:1:"7";i:5;s:2:"10";i:6;s:2:"16";i:7;s:1:"5";i:8;s:1:"3";i:9;s:1:"1";i:10;s:2:"14";i:11;s:1:"8";i:12;s:2:"13";i:13;s:1:"9";i:14;s:1:"4";i:15;s:2:"15";}';
var_dump(unserialize($input));
Use unserialize function in php
<?php
echo '<pre>';
print_r(unserialize('a:16:{i:0;s:1:"6";i:1;s:2:"12";i:2;s:1:"2";i:3;s:2:"11";i:4;s:1:"7";i:5;s:2:"10";i:6;s:2:"16";i:7;s:1:"5";i:8;s:1:"3";i:9;s:1:"1";i:10;s:2:"14";i:11;s:1:"8";i:12;s:2:"13";i:13;s:1:"9";i:14;s:1:"4";i:15;s:2:"15";}'));

I need to extract the name of the png which in this array is: 56f26f5862fb85.90873638.png. The value is the following context:
i:204;s:27:"56f26f5862fb85.90873638.png";
It would be really convenient if I could look the name after the 204 which is always fixec.
Any guidance or suggestion as for how to solve it is much appreciated.
That is a serialized PHP value, created using the serialize() function.
You can unserialize it using the unserialize() function:
$data = unserialize('a:2:{s:18:"_gravity [...] tal";s:5:"Total";}}');
