Help with decoding json data

[kevin_marshall2]

If I run the following everything works as expected

$json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}';
var_dump(json_decode($Response));
var_dump(json_decode($json, true));

But when I run the following I get an error

$response = curl_exec($ch);
$json_response = json_decode($response);
var_dump(json_decode($json_response));

Returned data looks like this when I echo to screen,

{ "STANDARDUNIT":"Each", "UNITDESCRIPTION":"Each", "ISTIMEUNIT":0, "TIMEPERHOUR":0, "UPPERSTANDARDUNIT":"EACH", "SYSDATECREATED":"14/11/2006 1:54:36 PM", "SYSDATEMODIFIED":"14/11/2006 1:54:36 PM", "SYSUNIQUEID":10075, "SYSUSERCREATED":"", "SYSUSERMODIFIED":"" }

Error when I try to run the page with 'var_dump(json_decode($json_response));' active:

There has been an error processing your request

Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons.

Error log record number: 1133047947559

Everything works without a hitch until I try to print or access the return data in Json format. I have tried returning the data as application/json and text/html but nothing seems to be working.

Hey @kevin_marshall2 

Please run the following code to get rid of the error:

$response = curl_exec($ch);
$json_response = json_decode($response);
var_dump($json_response);

Do let me know if it was helpful, or you need any further assistance.

Thanks for that, it worked but I cannot seem to access any of them by reference name. I have tried both of the following. the first gives a fatal error, the second return 404 page not found.

echo $json_response['STANDARDUNIT'];
echo $json_response.['STANDARDUNIT'];

var_dump displays

object(stdClass)#973 (10) { ["STANDARDUNIT"]=> string(4) "Each" ["UNITDESCRIPTION"]=> string(4) "Each" ["ISTIMEUNIT"]=> int(0) ["TIMEPERHOUR"]=> int(0) ["UPPERSTANDARDUNIT"]=> string(4) "EACH" ["SYSDATECREATED"]=> string(21) "14/11/2006 1:54:36 PM" ["SYSDATEMODIFIED"]=> string(21) "14/11/2006 1:54:36 PM" ["SYSUNIQUEID"]=> int(10075) ["SYSUSERCREATED"]=> string(0) "" ["SYSUSERMODIFIED"]=> string(0) "" }
