如何解码json对象

Question

This might be simple to some but a challenge to me. Well from a documentation, I am getting JSON object in the body of the POST request. The format is shown below.

Question how do I decode the json object when they have not given the variable name of the json object. I thought I would get a variable name so that I would decode this way $data = json_decode($jsonFromSource);

I can not figure out a way to do the same, anyone? Thanks.

Direction from documentation: The POST request will be sent to a URL provided by the enterprise. The following POST parameters that will be passed will be as follows
The parameters passed above will be contained in a JSON object in the body of the POST request. Link to the brief documentation https://app.kopokopo.com/push_api

{
   "service_name" : "MPESA",
   "business_number" : "888555",
   "transaction_reference" : "DE45GK45"
   "internal_transaction_id" : 3222
   "transaction_timestamp" : "2013-03-18T13:57:00Z"
   "transaction_type" : "Paybill"
   "account_number" : "445534"
   "sender_phone" : "[phone]"
   "first_name" : "John"
   "middle_name" : "K"
   "last_name" : "Doe"
   "amount" : 4000
   "currency" : "KES"
   "signature" : "dfafwerewKkladaHOKJdafdf"
}

I am not sure how you are initially retrieving the data - perhaps this will help?

$url='http://www.example.com/api/feed.json';
$data=file_get_contents( $url );
$json=json_decode( $data,true );
foreach( $json as $param => $value ) echo $param, $value, '<br />';
