PHP string array to php array

Question

I have this string array:

["652","110","111","1032","118","416","147","121","112","1033","113","1031","868"]

I need to read each value so to get

i try to convert string array using explode and then foreach but is not working...

$channels = explode('"', $string_array);

foreach($channels as &$channel) {
    echo $channel.'<br>';
}

It doesn't look like a JSON string to me, it looks like a php array literal. — James, Dec 04 '17 at 20:32
How is this json string generated / where does it come from? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25568420/properly-format-json-array-in-javascript — mickmackusa, Dec 04 '17 at 20:50

it's an JSON format, so use json_decode

$json = '["652","110","111","1032","118","416","147","121","112","1033","113","1031","868"]';
$array = json_decode($json, true);
foreach($array AS $channel) {
    echo $channel.'<br>';
}

missing your single quotes, to make it not a PHP array ;p – Lawrence Cherone Dec 04 '17 at 20:21
json_decode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given – Ravinder Reddy Dec 04 '17 at 20:22
yes... put all the json string in single quotes ... i updated the code – shushu304 Dec 04 '17 at 20:22
OP never mentioned it as a json string, not even tagged – Ravinder Reddy Dec 04 '17 at 20:25
It is obvious @RavinderReddy – Jay Blanchard Dec 04 '17 at 20:26
