This is the error presented with json_decode()

Errorexception json_decode() expects Parameter 1 to be string, array Given

How can I?

Answer 1

json_decode, as you can see in documentation, is used to decode a JSON string. That is, unless you have a JSON string, it should not work.

Here’s an example:

$string = "{\"version\": \"4.5.0\", \"objects\": {}}";
$decode = json_decode($string);

I’m not sure what this chunk of code you quoted represents, but if you have an array and want to convert it into a JSON string, you should use json_encode (see the documentation).

An example:

$array = ['versao' => '4.5.0', 'objects' => []];
$encode = json_encode($array);

If it’s interesting, see a functional example.
