Parse nested JSON in php

Question

I am trying to decode JSON string as follows-

<?php
    $data = '{"hrm.com": { "a": "1",  "b": "c"  }}';
    $character = json_decode($data);
    $character = json_decode($character->hrm.com);
    echo $character->a;
?>

I am getting the error

Undefined property: stdClass::$hrm

Any help?

One single json_decode is enough:

$character = json_decode($data);

echo $character->{'hrm.com'}->a;

Or you can use the second parameter of the json_decode function to return an associative array:

$character = json_decode($data, true);

echo $character['hrm.com']['a'];

Try this-

<?php
    $data = '{"hrm.com": { "a": "1",  "b": "c"  }}';
    $character = json_decode($data,true);
    echo $character['hrm.com']['a'];
?>
