Extracting information from an array in php - php

Question

Can any one tell me how to extract the 'honda' value out of the array below using php?
{
"version": "1.0",
"encoding": "UTF-8",
"entry": {
"name": "bob",
"car": {
"model": "honda"
}
}
}

Answer 1

This looks like a json encoded object. What you could do is:
$info = json_decode($data, true); //where $data has your stuff from the question
$carModel = $obj['entry']['car']['model'];

Answer 2

If you have all that in a variable called "obj", then
$obj = '{ "version": "1.0", "encoding": "UTF-8", "entry": { "name": "bob", "car": { "model": "honda" } } }';
$arr = json_decode($obj, true);
echo $arr['entry']['car']['model'];
should be 'honda'
EDITED: Per Omar below, you do need the true as the second param in json_decode. He should get selected as the correct answer.

Answer 3

Use json_decode as: http://php.net/manual/fr/function.json-decode.php
<?php
$json = '{"version": "1.0","encoding": "UTF-8","entry": {"name": "bob","car": {"model": "honda"} } }';
$tab = json_decode($json, true);
$honda = $tab['entry']['car']['model'];
var_dump($honda);
// or with object:
$obj = json_decode($json);
$honda = $obj->entry->car->model;
var_dump($honda);
