I am trying to parse a string in JSON, but not sure how to go about this. This is an example of the string I am trying to parse into a PHP array.
$json = '{"id":1,"name":"foo","email":"[email protected]"}';
Is there some library that can take the id, name, and email and put it into an array?

To receive JSON string we can use the “php://input” along with the function file_get_contents() which helps us receive JSON data as a file and read it into a string. Later, we can use the json_decode() function to decode the JSON string.
Parsing JSON with PHPPHP has built-in functions to encode and decode JSON data. These functions are json_encode() and json_decode() , respectively. Both functions only works with UTF-8 encoded string data.
You just have to use json_decode() function to convert JSON objects to the appropriate PHP data type. Example: By default the json_decode() function returns an object. You can optionally specify a second parameter that accepts a boolean value. When it is set as “true”, JSON objects are decoded into associative arrays.
You can use json_decode()
$json = '{"id":1,"name":"foo","email":"[email protected]"}';
$object = json_decode($json);
Output:
{#775 ▼
+"id": 1
+"name": "foo"
+"email": "[email protected]"
}
How to use: $object->id //1
$array = json_decode($json, true /*[bool $assoc = false]*/);
Output:
array:3 [▼
"id" => 1
"name" => "foo"
"email" => "[email protected]"
]
How to use: $array['id'] //1

Try json_decode:
$array = json_decode('{"id":1,"name":"foo","email":"[email protected]"}', true);
//$array['id'] == 1
//$array['name'] == "foo"
//$array['email'] == "[email protected]"
It can be done with json_decode(), be sure to set the second argument to true because you want an array rather than an object.
$array = json_decode($json, true); // decode json
Outputs:
Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => foo
[email] => [email protected]
)
