Conversion of Json std object into array

Question

I have json like this :

{"status":"TRUE","flag":1,"message":"Has Data","data":[{"country_id":"1","country_name":"India"}]}

This is the return value I am getting from api. I need to convert this into array and I need the values country_id and country_name.

I tried to convert using but unable to parse it as array

json_decode();

but still I am getting in std object format. Someone help me. Thanks in advance.

In model I am returning the values in

return $Result->result_array()

Use `json_decode($json, true)` for an associative array. Read the docs. http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php — Emile Pels, Jul 22 '18 at 08:01
Because it is an object. But I suppose, you need the 'data' member of it. — ZorgoZ, Jul 22 '18 at 08:03

Use json_decode($json, true) ;

$json = '{"status":"TRUE","flag":1,"message":"Has Data","data":[{"country_id":"1","country_name":"India"}]}';
 $array = json_decode($json,TRUE);

echo $array['data'][0]['country_id'].PHP_EOL;
echo $array['data'][0]['country_name'];

almost works, but I will get more country list inside data, So I can't use $array['data'][0]['country_name'] – Bergin Jul 22 '18 at 08:20
