I'm attempting to update records through decoded JSON by ID in this CakePHP function:
public function update() {
$this->layout = 'ajax';
if($this->request->is('post')) {
$decoded = json_decode($this->request->data,true);
if($data = $this->Foobar->save($decoded)) {
$data = json_encode(array(
"message" => "Foobar successfully updated.",
"update" => $this->request->data
));
} else {
$data = json_encode(array(
"message" => "Foobar could not be updated.",
"update" => $decoded,
"updateJson" => $this->request->data
));
}
} else {
$data = json_encode(array(
"message" => "Method should be post."
));
}
$this->set('data', $data);
But the decode keeps returning null:
{"message":"Foobar could not be updated.","update":null,"updateJson":{"ID":"1","status":2}}
However, if I go to http://www.compileonline.com/execute_php_online.php and enter:
<html><head></head><body>
<pre>
<?php
print_r(json_decode('{"ID":"1","status":2}', true));
?>
</pre>
</body></html>
It works just fine...
Looking at related questions...
- I've seen suggestions to try
json_last_error(), this returns0for me. - I've seen someone mention
magic_quotesmight be on, mine are off. - I've seen suggestions to use
json_decode(utf8_encode($this->request->data),true);, this still returnsnullfor me
Any ideas?
