extract parameter from response - php

Question

I am getting this string from CURL response
{status: 'false',description:'5400'}
I want to extract description parameter only.
I want $description = 5400 ;
How to do this ?

Answer 1

You have a bad json response, you have to change your json code and than using the following code you can access the variable.
<?php
$response = '{"status":false,"description":5400}';
$response_array = json_decode($response);
echo $response_array->description;
?>
And if you want to get the value of description with the existing bad json, you can do following thing.
<?php
$response = "{status:'false',description:'5400'}";
$r = explode("description:'", $response);
$description = rtrim($r[1],"'}");
echo $description;
?>

Answer 2

That response is json. Turn it into a PHP array:
$response = "{status: 'false',description:'5400'}";
$response_array = json_decode($response, true);
$description = $response_array['description'];
echo $description;

If Your JSON with space then it will be write solution
$response = "{status : 'false', description : '5400'}";
$response = str_replace(" ","",$response);
OR
$response = preg_replace('/\s+/', '', $response);
$t_repsonse = explode("description:", $response);
$i_description = str_replace("}","",str_replace("'","",$t_repsonse [ 1 ] ));
OR
$i_description = str_replace("}","",preg_replace('([ "\' ])', '', $t_repsonse [ 1 ]));
$description = $i_description;
