You can use the json_decode function, to decode your JSON string :

$json = '{"inbox":[{"from":"55512351","date":"29\/03\/2010","time":"21:24:10","utcOffsetSeconds":3600,"recipients":[{"address":"55512351","name":"55512351","deliveryStatus":"notRequested"}],"body":"This is message text."},{"from":"55512351","date":"29\/03\/2010","time":"21:24:12","utcOffsetSeconds":3600,"recipients":[{"address":"55512351","name":"55512351","deliveryStatus":"notRequested"}],"body":"This is message text."},{"from":"55512351","date":"29\/03\/2010","time":"21:24:13","utcOffsetSeconds":3600,"recipients":[{"address":"55512351","name":"55512351","deliveryStatus":"notRequested"}],"body":"This is message text."},{"from":"55512351","date":"29\/03\/2010","time":"21:24:13","utcOffsetSeconds":3600,"recipients":[{"address":"55512351","name":"55512351","deliveryStatus":"notRequested"}],"body":"This is message text."}]}';
$data = json_decode($json);
var_dump($data);

And you'll get something like this :

object(stdClass)[1]
  public 'inbox' => 
    array
      0 => 
        object(stdClass)[2]
          public 'from' => string '55512351' (length=8)
          public 'date' => string '29/03/2010' (length=10)
          public 'time' => string '21:24:10' (length=8)
          public 'utcOffsetSeconds' => int 3600
          public 'recipients' => 
            array
              0 => 
                object(stdClass)[3]
                  public 'address' => string '55512351' (length=8)
                  public 'name' => string '55512351' (length=8)
                  public 'deliveryStatus' => string 'notRequested' (length=12)
          public 'body' => string 'This is message text.' (length=21)
      1 => 
        object(stdClass)[4]
          public 'from' => string '55512351' (length=8)
          public 'date' => string '29/03/2010' (length=10)
          public 'time' => string '21:24:12' (length=8)
          public 'utcOffsetSeconds' => int 3600
          public 'recipients' => 
            array
              0 => 
                object(stdClass)[5]
                  public 'address' => string '55512351' (length=8)
                  public 'name' => string '55512351' (length=8)
                  public 'deliveryStatus' => string 'notRequested' (length=12)
          public 'body' => string 'This is message text.' (length=21)
      ....
      ....

Now that you know the structure of the data, you can iterate over it ; for instance, you could use something like this :

foreach ($data->inbox as $note) {
  echo '<p>';
  echo 'From : ' . htmlspecialchars($note->from) . '<br />';
  echo 'Date : ' . htmlspecialchars($note->date) . '<br />';
  echo 'Body : ' . htmlspecialchars($note->body) . '<br />';
  echo '</p>';
}

And you'll get this kind of output :

From : 55512351
Date : 29/03/2010
Body : This is message text.

From : 55512351
Date : 29/03/2010
Body : This is message text.

Pascal MARTIN, thank you for quick react! But the problem in this multiply arrays. I really can't operate with all these arrays and make a simple structure as I would like to do it above like separate notes! Please, I ask you could you show how should I operate with all these arrays? Could you show it using I don't know foreach() or what? Thank you!

@ilnur777: If you don't know `foreach`, read the documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php . `for` and `foreach` loops are essential tools when dealing with arrays.

Pascal MARTIN, you saved my life and nerves!!! Thank you very much. It really now understandable for me how to operate with arrays on JSON!

@ilnur777: Don't forget to mark Pascal's answer as the correct one :-)

How to get address, name and deliveryStatus ???

ilnur777 2010-03-30 08:02:52

If there is always one and only one recipient, something like `$note->recipients[0]->name` should work ; if there is sometimes more than one, you can use a `foreach` loop to iterate over `$note->recipients`
