IOS Dictionary to php array

Question

I have IOS dictionary like

[{\"my_id_one\":16403,\"my_id_two\":7239}]

When I decode using json_decode, it returns null.

What is best way to decode it to convert it to a PHP array?

you have to un-escape slashes, if your example is correct. what is the origin of above string? — fusion3k

If you want to escape the " make sure you use " to enclose the string. — frz3993

Take a look at stripcslashes():

$str = '[{\"my_id_one\":16403,\"my_id_two\":7239}]';
$str_unescaped = stripcslashes($str);
$array = json_decode($str_unescaped, true);

print_r($array);

This outputs:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [my_id_one] => 16403 [my_id_two] => 7239 ) )

yes it works when you create string in PHP as you did. but when a dictionary is submitted by IOS, it won't decode properly. I have already tried this but didn't work. When i test it with RESTclient, it works but in case IOS, i won't. I also tried all methods on php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php Nothing get work and then i finally post my question to stackover. anyway thanks for the help
