json_decode() and json_encode() in php

1.json_decode()

json_decode
(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PECL json >= 1.2.0)

json_decode — Encode a JSON-formatted string

Description
mixed json_decode ( string $json [, bool $assoc ] )
Accepts a JSON formatted string and converts it into a PHP variable

Parameters

json
The string in json string format to be decoded.

assoc
When this parameter is TRUE, an array is returned instead of an object.


Return value
Returns an object or if the optional assoc parameter is TRUE, an associative array is instead returned.

Example

Example #1 Example of json_decode()

The code is as follows Copy code
 代码如下 复制代码

$json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}';
var_dump(json_decode($json));
var_dump(json_decode($json, true));
?>

上例将输出:

object(stdClass)#1 (5) {
["a"] => int(1)
["b"] => int(2)
["c"] => int(3)
["d"] => int(4)
["e"] => int(5)
}

array(5) {
["a"] => int(1)
["b"] => int(2)
["c"] => int(3)
["d"] => int(4)
["e"] => int(5)
}


$data='[{"Name":"a1","Number":"123","Contno":"000","QQNo":""},{"Name":"a1","Number":"123","Contno":"000","QQNo":""},{"Name":"a1","Number":"123","Contno":"000","QQNo":""}]';
echo json_decode($data);

结果为:

Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [Name] => a1 [Number] => 123 [Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) [1] => stdClass Object ( [Name] => a1 [Number] => 123 [Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) [2] => stdClass Object ( [Name] => a1 [Number] => 123 [Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) )

$json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}'; var_dump(json_decode($json));
 代码如下 复制代码

echo json_decode($data,true);

结果:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [Name] => a1 [Number] => 123 [Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) [1] => Array ( [Name] => a1 [Number] => 123 [Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) [2] => Array ( [Name] => a1 [Number] => 123 [Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) )

var_dump(json_decode($json, true)); ?> The above example will output: object(stdClass)#1 (5) { ["a"] => int(1) ["b"] => int(2) ["c"] => int(3) ["d"] => int(4) ["e"] => int(5) } array(5) { ["a"] => int(1) ["b"] => int(2) ["c"] => int(3) ["d"] => int(4) ["e"] => int(5) } $data='[{"Name":"a1","Number":"123","Contno":"000","QQNo":""},{"Name":"a1","Number" :"123","Contno":"000","QQNo":""},{"Name":"a1","Number":"123","Contno":"000","QQNo": ""}]'; echo json_decode($data); The result is: Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [Name] => a1 [Number] => 123 [Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) [1] => stdClass Object ( [Name] => a1 [Number] => 123 [Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) [2] => stdClass Object ( [Name] => a1 [Number] => ; 123 [Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) )
It can be seen that the object compiled by json_decode() is an object. Now try to output json_decode($data,true)
The code is as follows Copy code
echo json_decode($data,true); Result: Array ( [0] => Array ( [Name] => a1 [Number] => 123 [Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) [1] => Array ( [ Name] => a1 [Number] => 123 [Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) [2] => Array ( [Name] => a1 [Number] => 123 [ Contno] => 000 [QQNo] => ) )

You can see that json_decode($data,true) outputs an associative array. From this, we can see that json_decode($data) outputs an object, and json_decode("$arr",true) forces it to generate a PHP associative array. .

2.json_encode()

json_encode
(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PECL json >= 1.2.0)

Report a bug Example

Example #1 A json_encode() example

The code is as follows Copy code

$arr = array ('a'=>1,'b'=>2,'c'=>3,'d'=>4,'e'=>5);

echo json_encode($arr);
?>

The above routine will output:

{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}

Example #2 Usage of options parameter in json_encode() function

$a = array('',"'bar'",'"baz"','&blong&', "xc3xa9");

echo "Normal: ", json_encode($a), "n";
echo "Tags: ", json_encode($a, JSON_HEX_TAG), "n";
echo "Apos: ", json_encode($a, JSON_HEX_APOS), "n";
echo "Quot: ", json_encode($a, JSON_HEX_QUOT), "n";
echo "Amp: ", json_encode($a, JSON_HEX_AMP), "n";
echo "Unicode: ", json_encode($a, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE), "n";
echo "All: ", json_encode($a, JSON_HEX_TAG | JSON_HEX_APOS | JSON_HEX_QUOT | JSON_HEX_AMP | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE), "nn";

$b = array();

echo "Empty array output as array: ", json_encode($b), "n";
echo "Empty array output as object: ", json_encode($b, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT), "nn";

$c = array(array(1,2,3));

echo "Non-associative array output as array: ", json_encode($c), "n";
echo "Non-associative array output as object: ", json_encode($c, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT), "nn";

$d = array('foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => 'long');

echo "Associative array always output as object: ", json_encode($d), "n";
echo "Associative array always output as object: ", json_encode($d, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT), "nn";
?>

The above routine will output:

Normal: ["","'bar'",""baz"","&blong&","u00e9"]
Tags: ["u003Cfoou003E","'bar'",""baz"","&blong&","u00e9"]
Apos: ["","u0027baru0027",""baz"","&blong&","u00e9"]
Quot: ["","'bar'","u0022bazu0022","&blong&","u00e9"]
Amp: ["","'bar'",""baz"","u0026blongu0026","u00e9"]
Unicode: ["","'bar'",""baz"","&blong&","é"]
All: ["u003Cfoou003E","u0027baru0027","u0022bazu0022","u0026blongu0026","é"]

Empty array output as array: []
Empty array output as object: {}

Non-associative array output as array: [[1,2,3]]
Non-associative array output as object: {"0":{"0":1,"1":2,"2":3}}

Associative array always output as object: {"foo":"bar","baz":"long"}
Associative array always output as object: {"foo":"bar","baz":"long"}

Example #3 Example of continuous and non-continuous arrays

The code is as follows
 代码如下 复制代码

echo "连续数组".PHP_EOL;
$sequential = array("foo", "bar", "baz", "blong");
var_dump(
$sequential,
json_encode($sequential)
);

echo PHP_EOL."非连续数组".PHP_EOL;
$nonsequential = array(1=>"foo", 2=>"bar", 3=>"baz", 4=>"blong");
var_dump(
$nonsequential,
json_encode($nonsequential)
);

echo PHP_EOL."删除一个连续数组值的方式产生的非连续数组".PHP_EOL;
unset($sequential[1]);
var_dump(
$sequential,
json_encode($sequential)
);
?>

Copy code

 代码如下 复制代码

连续数组
array(4) {
[0]=>
string(3) "foo"
[1]=>
string(3) "bar"
[2]=>
string(3) "baz"
[3]=>
string(5) "blong"
}
string(27) "["foo","bar","baz","blong"]"

非连续数组
array(4) {
[1]=>
string(3) "foo"
[2]=>
string(3) "bar"
[3]=>
string(3) "baz"
[4]=>
string(5) "blong"
}
string(43) "{"1":"foo","2":"bar","3":"baz","4":"blong"}"

删除一个连续数组值的方式产生的非连续数组
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(3) "foo"
[2]=>
string(3) "baz"
[3]=>
string(5) "blong"
}
string(33) "{"0":"foo","2":"baz","3":"blong"}"


$obj->Name= 'a1';$obj->Number ='123';
$obj->Contno= '000';
echo json_encode($obj);

结果为:

{"Name":"a1",
"Number":"123",
"Contno":"000"
}

echo "continuous array".PHP_EOL; $sequential = array("foo", "bar", "baz", "blong");

var_dump(
$sequential,

json_encode($sequential)

);

 代码如下 复制代码

/* 处理json_encode中文乱码 */
$data = array ('game' => '冰火国度', 'name' => '刺之灵', 'country' => '冰霜国', 'level' => 45 );
echo json_encode ( $data );
echo "
";
$newData = array ();
foreach ( $data as $key => $value ) {
$newData [$key] = urlencode ( $value );
}
echo urldecode ( json_encode ( $newData ) );
?>

echo PHP_EOL."non-continuous array".PHP_EOL; $nonsequential = array(1=>"foo", 2=>"bar", 3=>"baz", 4=>"blong"); var_dump( $nonsequential, json_encode($nonsequential) ); echo PHP_EOL."A non-continuous array generated by deleting a continuous array value".PHP_EOL; unset($sequential[1]); var_dump( $sequential, json_encode($sequential) ); ?> The above routine will output:
The code is as follows Copy code
Contiguous array array(4) { [0]=> string(3) "foo" [1]=> string(3) "bar" [2]=> string(3) "baz" [3]=> string(5) "blong" } string(27) "["foo","bar","baz","blong"]" Non-contiguous array array(4) { [1]=> string(3) "foo" [2]=> string(3) "bar" [3]=> string(3) "baz" [4]=> string(5) "blong" } string(43) "{"1":"foo","2":"bar","3":"baz","4":"blong"}" A non-continuous array generated by deleting a continuous array value array(3) { [0]=> string(3) "foo" [2]=> string(3) "baz" [3]=> string(5) "blong" } string(33) "{"0":"foo","2":"baz","3":"blong"}" $obj->Name= 'a1';$obj->Number ='123'; $obj->Contno= '000'; echo json_encode($obj); The result is: {"Name":"a1", "Number":"123", "Contno":"000" } It can be seen that json_encode() and json_decode() are compilation and decompilation processes. Note that json only accepts utf-8 encoded characters, so the parameters of json_encode() must be utf-8 encoded, otherwise you will get null characters or null If it’s in Chinese, be careful Find a solution online:
The code is as follows Copy code
/* Process json_encode Chinese garbled characters */ $data = array ('game' => 'Ice and Fire Country', 'name' => 'Thorn Spirit', 'country' => 'Frost Country', 'level' => 45 ); echo json_encode ( $data ); echo "
"; $newData = array (); foreach ( $data as $key => $value ) { $newData [$key] = urlencode ( $value ); } echo urldecode ( json_encode ( $newData ) ); ?>

Later I asked others for advice and found that base64 encoding can also be used, but base64 encoding cannot be placed in the URL. Baidu explained this:

Standard Base64 is not suitable for transmission directly in the URL, because the URL encoder will change the "/" and "+" characters in standard Base64 into the form of "%XX", and these "%" The number needs to be converted when it is stored in the database, because the "%" sign has been used as a wildcard character in ANSI SQL.

However, my data is sent via POST and is not in the HTTP head, but in the message-body, so it is not affected.

json_encode can only accept data in utf-8 format


For example: 'Xu' becomes 'u80e5' after json_encode processing, and the Chinese part of the final json is replaced with unicode encoding. What we have to solve is to convert the object into json and ensure that the Chinese inside the object still appears as normal Chinese in json. Now it seems that only using json_encode cannot achieve the goal.
My solution: first url-encode the Chinese field in the class (urlencode), then json-encode the object (jsonencode), and finally url-decode (urldecode) the json, which is the final json. The Chinese inside is still the same Chinese !
The test code is as follows:

The code is as follows
 代码如下 复制代码

class myClass {
public $item1 = 1;
public $item2 = '中文';
function to_json() {
//url编码,避免json_encode将中文转为unicode
$this->item2 = urlencode($this->item2);
$str_json = json_encode($this);
//url解码,转完json后将各属性返回,确保对象属性不变
$this->item2 = urldecode($this->item2);
return urldecode($str_json);
}
}
$c = new myClass();
echo json_encode($c);
echo '
';
echo $c->to_json();
echo '
';
echo json_encode($c);
echo '
';
echo json_encode('胥');
?>

程序输出结果:

{"item1":1,"item2":"u4e2du6587"}
{"item1":1,"item2":"中文"}
{"item1":1,"item2":"u4e2du6587"}
"u80e5"


 

Copy code
class myClass {

public $item1 = 1;

public $item2 = 'Chinese'; //url encoding, avoid json_encode converting Chinese to unicode $this->item2 = urlencode($this->item2); $str_json = json_encode($this); //Decode the url and return each attribute after converting to json to ensure that the object attributes remain unchanged $this->item2 = urldecode($this->item2); return urldecode($str_json); } } $c = new myClass(); echo json_encode($c); echo '
';
echo $c->to_json(); echo '
'; echo json_encode($c);
echo '
';
echo json_encode('襥'); ?> Program output result: {"item1":1,"item2":"u4e2du6587"} {"item1":1,"item2":"中文"} {"item1":1,"item2":"u4e2du6587"} "u80e5" http://www.bkjia.com/PHPjc/632210.htmlwww.bkjia.comtruehttp: //www.bkjia.com/PHPjc/632210.htmlTechArticleThis article introduces the usage of json_decode() and json_encode() in php and the solution for Chinese not displaying, if necessary Friends can refer to it. json_decode() and json_encode() in php 1.js...

Arrays can be stored in PHP sessions. 1. Start the session and use session_start(). 2. Create an array and store it in $_SESSION. 3. Retrieve the array through $_SESSION. 4. Optimize session data to improve performance.

How does garbage collection work for PHP sessions?How does garbage collection work for PHP sessions?Apr 27, 2025 am 12:19 AM

PHP session garbage collection is triggered through a probability mechanism to clean up expired session data. 1) Set the trigger probability and session life cycle in the configuration file; 2) You can use cron tasks to optimize high-load applications; 3) You need to balance the garbage collection frequency and performance to avoid data loss.

How can you trace session activity in PHP?How can you trace session activity in PHP?Apr 27, 2025 am 12:10 AM

Tracking user session activities in PHP is implemented through session management. 1) Use session_start() to start the session. 2) Store and access data through the $_SESSION array. 3) Call session_destroy() to end the session. Session tracking is used for user behavior analysis, security monitoring, and performance optimization.

How can you use a database to store PHP session data?How can you use a database to store PHP session data?Apr 27, 2025 am 12:02 AM

Using databases to store PHP session data can improve performance and scalability. 1) Configure MySQL to store session data: Set up the session processor in php.ini or PHP code. 2) Implement custom session processor: define open, close, read, write and other functions to interact with the database. 3) Optimization and best practices: Use indexing, caching, data compression and distributed storage to improve performance.

How do you loop through all the values stored in a PHP session?How do you loop through all the values stored in a PHP session?Apr 26, 2025 am 12:06 AM

In PHP, iterating through session data can be achieved through the following steps: 1. Start the session using session_start(). 2. Iterate through foreach loop through all key-value pairs in the $_SESSION array. 3. When processing complex data structures, use is_array() or is_object() functions and use print_r() to output detailed information. 4. When optimizing traversal, paging can be used to avoid processing large amounts of data at one time. This will help you manage and use PHP session data more efficiently in your actual project.
