how to parse json object in php

Question

json code -

"days": [
        {
            "day-code": "SUN", 
            "runs": "Y"
        }, 
        {
            "day-code": "MON", 
            "runs": "Y"
        }, 
        {
            "day-code": "TUE", 
            "runs": "Y"
        }, 
        {
            "day-code": "WED", 
            "runs": "Y"
        }, 
        {
            "day-code": "THU", 
            "runs": "Y"
        }, 
        {
            "day-code": "FRI", 
            "runs": "Y"
        }, 
        {
            "day-code": "SAT", 
            "runs": "Y"
        }
    ]

for retrieving the "day-code" from PHP by using the following code -

days[0]['day-code'];

OR

days[0][0];

php error -

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array

Can anyone help me from this problem.

I already parsed it after that i used for retriving object. I used also (days[0]->day-code) but niether this works. I think problem is in (-) which between day-code. — user7865403, Apr 14 '17 at 04:20

As per the documentation, you need to specify if you want an associative array instead of an object from json_decode, this would be the code

json_decode($jsondata, true);

1.json_decode() with parameter true needed.

2.Then you can do like $json_array['days'][0]['day-code'];

Working example:- https://eval.in/776344

you can apply foreach() also(in the working example to print all values one-by-one)

Note:-

The json data you shown is invalid (check here). It missed starting { and closing }

Reference:- http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php

First You need to understand Array and stdClass Object to check this you can use var_dump($var)

your data contain all numeric index. you can can access it by 0,1,2

and single element of array is an object so you can access it by arrow (->)

So it will be like

$days[0]->day-code;
