How to receive JSON object via POST method

Question

I have the following code:

{
"order": {
    "id": "5RTQNACF",
    "created_at": "2012-12-09T21:23:41-08:00",
    "status": "completed",
    "total_btc": {
        "cents": 100000000,
        "currency_iso": "BTC"
    },
    "total_native": {
        "cents": 1253,
        "currency_iso": "USD"
    },
    "custom": "order1234",
    "receive_address": "1NhwPYPgoPwr5hynRAsto5ZgEcw1LzM3My",
    "button": {
        "type": "buy_now",
        "name": "Alpaca Socks",
        "description": "The ultimate in lightweight footwear",
        "id": "5d37a3b61914d6d0ad15b5135d80c19f"
    },
    "transaction": {
        "id": "514f18b7a5ea3d630a00000f",
        "hash": "4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b",
        "confirmations": 0
    }
}
}

I want to retrieve it as Json, so how I do it?

Answer 1

You need to decode it with json_decode() like this

$json = json_decode($jsonString);

That will give you an object and then you can use it like this

 echo $json->order->total_btc->cents;
