将json数据存储在局部变量中

Question

I get gdata of youtube video from the URL. It returns the json code like this.

{"apiVersion":"2.1","data":{"id":"4TSJhIZmL0A","uploaded":"2008-07-15T18:11:59.000Z","updated":"2013-05-01T21:01:49.000Z","uploader":"burloandbardsey","category":"News","title":"bbc news start up theme","description":"bbc","thumbnail":{"sqDefault":"http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4TSJhIZmL0A/default.jpg","hqDefault":"http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4TSJhIZmL0A/hqdefault.jpg"},"player":{"default":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TSJhIZmL0A&feature=youtube_gdata_player","mobile":"http://m.youtube.com/details?v=4TSJhIZmL0A"},"content":{"5":"http://www.youtube.com/v/4TSJhIZmL0A?version=3&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata","1":"rtsp://v5.cache7.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQlAL2aGhIk04RMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp","6":"rtsp://v5.cache7.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQlAL2aGhIk04RMYESARFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp"},"duration":15,"aspectRatio":"widescreen","rating":4.6683936,"likeCount":"354","ratingCount":386,"viewCount":341066,"favoriteCount":0,"commentCount":155,"accessControl":{"comment":"allowed","commentVote":"allowed","videoRespond":"allowed","rate":"allowed","embed":"allowed","list":"allowed","autoPlay":"allowed","syndicate":"allowed"}}}

But I working internet connection only on my remote server not a local system.

Now my question is,

For my testing purpose, Before using json_decode(), I want to store the above json code in a local variable. but it gives syntax error.

for example,

$myJson = {"apiVersion":"2.1","data":{"id":"4TSJhIZmL0A","uploaded":"2008-07-15T18:11:59.000Z","updated":"2013-05-01T21:01:49.000Z","uploader":"burloandbardsey","category":"News","title":"bbc news start up theme","description":"bbc","thumbnail":{"sqDefault":"http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4TSJhIZmL0A/default.jpg","hqDefault":"http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4TSJhIZmL0A/hqdefault.jpg"},"player":{"default":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TSJhIZmL0A&feature=youtube_gdata_player","mobile":"http://m.youtube.com/details?v=4TSJhIZmL0A"},"content":{"5":"http://www.youtube.com/v/4TSJhIZmL0A?version=3&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata","1":"rtsp://v5.cache7.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQlAL2aGhIk04RMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp","6":"rtsp://v5.cache7.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQlAL2aGhIk04RMYESARFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp"},"duration":15,"aspectRatio":"widescreen","rating":4.6683936,"likeCount":"354","ratingCount":386,"viewCount":341066,"favoriteCount":0,"commentCount":155,"accessControl":{"comment":"allowed","commentVote":"allowed","videoRespond":"allowed","rate":"allowed","embed":"allowed","list":"allowed","autoPlay":"allowed","syndicate":"allowed"}}};

Answer 1

$myJson = '{"apiVersion":"2.1","data":{"id":"4TSJhIZmL0A","uploaded":"2008-07-15T18:11:59.000Z","updated":"2013-05-01T21:01:49.000Z","uploader":"burloandbardsey","category":"News","title":"bbc news start up theme","description":"bbc","thumbnail":{"sqDefault":"http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4TSJhIZmL0A/default.jpg","hqDefault":"http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4TSJhIZmL0A/hqdefault.jpg"},"player":{"default":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TSJhIZmL0A&feature=youtube_gdata_player","mobile":"http://m.youtube.com/details?v=4TSJhIZmL0A"},"content":{"5":"http://www.youtube.com/v/4TSJhIZmL0A?version=3&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata","1":"rtsp://v5.cache7.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQlAL2aGhIk04RMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp","6":"rtsp://v5.cache7.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQlAL2aGhIk04RMYESARFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp"},"duration":15,"aspectRatio":"widescreen","rating":4.6683936,"likeCount":"354","ratingCount":386,"viewCount":341066,"favoriteCount":0,"commentCount":155,"accessControl":{"comment":"allowed","commentVote":"allowed","videoRespond":"allowed","rate":"allowed","embed":"allowed","list":"allowed","autoPlay":"allowed","syndicate":"allowed"}}}';

Should work, you need to surround the string with either '' or "". In any case it would be a good idea to escape ", and ' in the string.
