read JSON into Multidimensional Array PHP

[brenton]

How can i read a multidimensional JSON array into a multidimensional PHP array

JSON:

Code: [Select]

{
  'updates': {
    'ssid':'tb-hotspot1',
    'mac':'00:15:6D:1A:A2:E2',
    'clientusage': [
      {
        'ip':'192.168.182.232',
        'used':'500000'
      },
      {
        'ip':'192.168.182.200',
        'used':'500000'
      }
    ]
  }
}


Sent POST to PHP server with curl in bash:

Code: [Select]

curl -k -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d $json https://myserver.xx/uam.php

Receive POST from curl into PHP:

Code: [Select]

<?php
$json = file_get_contents("php://input");
echo "\n";
print_r($json);
echo "\n";
echo "\n";
var_dump(json_decode($json));
echo "\n";
echo "\n";
$obj=json_decode($json);
print $obj->Updates[0]->{'SSID'};  //help needed with this line
?>

The ",true" makes it into an associative array... Didn't read the php.net manual properly 

Code: [Select]

<?php
////////////////////

$json_array=json_decode($json,true);
echo "SSID: ".$json_array['Updates']['SSID']."\n";
echo "MAC: ".$json_array['Updates']['MAC']."\n";
?>
