Array manipulation

Question

Hey I am stuck in the middle of my code. I am getting some input data from my partner and I get an array. At the 0 index of the array there are 3 strings. The array looks like this

array
0 => 
   object(MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Entity\PatentIdJson)[1405]
   private 'patentId' => string 'EP.02708872.A' (length=13)
   private 'jsonData' => string '{"ops:world-patent-data": {
    "@xmlns":   {
    "ops": "http://ops.epo.org",
    "$": "http://www.epo.org/exchange",
    "ccd": "http://www.epo.org/ccd",
    "xlink": "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
  },
  "ops:meta":   {
  "@name": "elapsed-time",
  "@value": "69"
  }
  private 'status' => string 'Found' (length=5)

What I am interested in is the 'jsonData' String. Can I covert this whole array to a multidimensional array or just get the 'jsonData' and convert it into an array so that I get the information what I need from the 'jsonData'.

Thanks

Does the MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Entity\PatentIdJson class have a method to return jsonData? — jeroen

what you need is json_decode and you can do the following:

$jsonObject = json_decode($myArray[0]->getjsonData(), true);

That will generate an object from the jsonData your partner is providing in the array

but to get the assocciated array we need to pass true as 2nd parameter to json_decode

Based on your comment, you can get to the data using:

$jsonData = $your_array[0]->getjsonData();

Assuming that the MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Entity\PatentIdJson extends the MunichInnovationGroup\PatentBundle\Entity class.
