How to parse a string in json?

Question

I have a string like this:

 0: array( 'name' => 'john', 'username' => 'foo' ) 1: array( 'name' => 'jack', 'username' => 'foo' )"

how I can encode it in json? I tried with:

$value = array_values($arr);
var_dump($value);

but I get NULL

UPDATE - If I do json_encode($arr); I get:

 ""\r\n 0: array(\r\n 'name' => 'john',\r\n 'username' => 'foo'\r\n )\r\n 1: array(\r\n 'name' => 'jack',\r\n 'username' => 'foo'\r\n )""

@JayBlanchard there is a problem with json_encode I get a bad encoding, check the update question. — Sandokan

How is your array built? It's encoding it like a string instead of an array. — aynber

@aynber how you can see in my first code, my array have space internally. — Sandokan

Let me rephrase: how did you create and build your array? Is it being passed from a form or database, or are you creating it within your code? — aynber

Your "array" is really a string, and it won't encode as an array. I'd suggest building a correct array, then you can use it with json_encode. — aynber

Take a look at json_encode php function. I believe this is what you're looking for.

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

echo json_encode($arr);
?>

The variable that your calling json_encode with is not an array. Looks like a string. Am I seeing this correctly?
