parsing JSON in php using angularJS object - php

Question

I am trying to pass JSON object from angular to php like this :
<?php
$placeBean = "{{masterCtrl.getLastplace();}}";
//VAR DUMP IS -> string(30) "{"id":1841,"name":"Milano","areaCode":"MI","latitude":0,"longitude":0}"
$json = '{"id":1841,"name":"Milano","areaCode":"MI","latitude":0,"longitude":0}';
//VAR DUMP IS -> string(70) "{"id":1841,"name":"Milano","areaCode":"MI","latitude":0,"longitude":0}"
?>
Then I need to parse the json in $placeBean, because it is not yet a json in php, so I use
<?php
$manage = json_decode($placeBean);
?>
And this is the problem... because it doesn't work, in fact the result is an empty value: instead, if I do the same thing with $json( instead of $placeBean), the code works perfectly.
I Think the issue is some
missing chars, which are placed in$json, and not in $placeBean.
Those are the echo of the variables
ECHO OF JSON ->{"id":1841,"name":"Milano","areaCode":"MI","latitude":0,"longitude":0}
ECHO OF placeBean ->
placeBean{"id":1841,"name":"Milano","areaCode":"MI","latitude":0,"longitude":0}
I Also tried to use json_last_error, which gave me this : - Syntax error, malformed

Well, the first one is not a valid JSON object, for this PHP refuses to parse it.
When you run it though AngularJS it will actually use its own mechanism and replaces the string with the data returned by the masterCtrl.getLastplace() call.
