ok I was not sure, I will look into that.

it doesn't `json_decode()` for me.

Strictly speaking, JSON would require the names in the name/value pairs to be quoted, ie `"label"` rather than `label`. See the [json_decode()](http://us3.php.net/json-decode) docs, Example #3. My PHP 5.3.3 cannot parse your string.

It's not JSON since the keys to the objects are not quoted. It's very similar though (in fact, it looks like pure JS objects)... Perhaps it's time to build a JS object parser?

Answer 2

+3 A:

Simply get it in an array:

$str = '...';
$arr = json_decode(preg_replace('/([{,])([^:{,]+):/', '${1}"${2}":', $str));
var_dump($arr);

Simple/Perfect/Best ;-)
