The string used below in "$myArrEncoded" is generated in javascript, after
creating the structure and spitting out:
var JSONVar = javascriptVar.toSource();
I can eval JSONVar and work with it as I would be working with the original
javascriptVar so I know the transition back and forth from a structure to a
string isn't causing problems. The problem is when I try to work with the
string in PHP.
Here is my code:
<?php
$myArrEncoded = "({Salary:{'50-70K':{filterType:"range",
fieldName:"SALARY", fieldValueLabel:"50-70K",
lowerValue:"50", upperValue:"70",
inclusive:"BOTH"}},
Position:{Developer:{filterType:"single",
fieldName:"POSITION", fieldValueLabel:"Developer",
fieldValue:"Developer", constraint:"equals"},
SysAdmin:{filterType:"single", fieldName:"POSITION",
fieldValueLabel:"System Admin", fieldValue:"SysAdmin",
constraint:"equals"}}, 'Required Action':{'2 -
GenScreen':{filterType:"single",
fieldName:"REQUIRED_ACTION", fieldValueLabel:"General Phone
Screen", fieldValue:"2 - GenScreen",
constraint:"equals"}}})";
echo var_dump( $myArrEncoded ) . '<br><br>';
echo '$myArr encoded: ' . $myArrEncoded . '<br><br>';
try {
echo '$myArr decoded: <pre>' . print_r( json_decode( $myArrEncoded, TRUE
), TRUE ) . '</pre><br><br>';
} catch( Exception $e ) {
echo 'Error: ' . var_dump( $e );
}
?>
When I run it, I get the following output:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
string(587) "({Salary:{'50-70K':{filterType:"range",
fieldName:"SALARY", fieldValueLabel:"50-70K", lowerValue:"50",
upperValue:"70", inclusive:"BOTH"}},
Position:{Developer:{filterType:"single", fieldName:"POSITION",
fieldValueLabel:"Developer", fieldValue:"Developer",
constraint:"equals"}, SysAdmin:{filterType:"single",
fieldName:"POSITION", fieldValueLabel:"System Admin",
fieldValue:"SysAdmin", constraint:"equals"}}, 'Required
Action':{'2 -
GenScreen':{filterType:"single", fieldName:"REQUIRED_ACTION",
fieldValueLabel:"General Phone Screen", fieldValue:"2 - GenScreen",
constraint:"equals"}}})"
$myArr encoded: ({Salary:{'50-70K':{filterType:"range",
fieldName:"SALARY", fieldValueLabel:"50-70K", lowerValue:"50",
upperValue:"70", inclusive:"BOTH"}},
Position:{Developer:{filterType:"single", fieldName:"POSITION",
fieldValueLabel:"Developer", fieldValue:"Developer",
constraint:"equals"}, SysAdmin:{filterType:"single",
fieldName:"POSITION", fieldValueLabel:"System Admin",
fieldValue:"SysAdmin", constraint:"equals"}}, 'Required
Action':{'2 -
GenScreen':{filterType:"single", fieldName:"REQUIRED_ACTION",
fieldValueLabel:"General Phone Screen", fieldValue:"2 - GenScreen",
constraint:"equals"}}})
$myArr decoded: ({Salary:{'50-70K':{filterType:"range",
fieldName:"SALARY", fieldValueLabel:"50-70K", lowerValue:"50",
upperValue:"70", inclusive:"BOTH"}},
Position:{Developer:{filterType:"single", fieldName:"POSITION",
fieldValueLabel:"Developer", fieldValue:"Developer",
constraint:"equals"}, SysAdmin:{filterType:"single",
fieldName:"POSITION", fieldValueLabel:"System Admin",
fieldValue:"SysAdmin", constraint:"equals"}}, 'Required
Action':{'2 -
GenScreen':{filterType:"single", fieldName:"REQUIRED_ACTION",
fieldValueLabel:"General Phone Screen", fieldValue:"2 - GenScreen",
constraint:"equals"}}})

Why isn't json_decode() converting the string to an array? Is there
something extra in there that json_decode() can't deal with? I can work
with it fine in javascript... :(
thnx,
