从数据中提取JSON数组

Question

I am requesting data from another website and expecting a clean json array in return.

However I am getting this instead:

<pre></pre>{"Status":"Success","Result":1}

which won't parse with json_decode();.

How do I extract the JSON array out of this data so I can parse it?

Note: I am not in control of the code I am requesting the data from.

Answer 1

try this

$output_array = array();

$badstr = '<pre></pre>{"Status":"Success","Result":1}';

preg_match("/{.*}/", $badstr, $output_array);

in $output_array[0] you have your json string.
