I am trying to decode a JSON string in PHP,but somehow the json_decode doesnt like my string, i think it is not valid json. The thing that is very strange to me is, that if i put the json response in a variable manually, it is working. If i write the json response out in the browser, and i write the content of the variable, both are completely the same, like this:
{"id":455463,"Created":"2016-04-30T14:20:38.09","SenderCompanyName":"x","InvoiceNumber":"2555","PaymentDueDate":"2016-04-30T00:00:00","ToBePaidAmount":350.0000}
If i look in the webpage source, the content is also completely the same. I have also tryed to convert to UTF8, but no change.
How do you guys usually debug this, or what did i forget ?
code:
// calling web service and saving json response in variable
$json_response = CallAPI($method, $url, $json_request);
// the response contain some unvalid character in the end, so i am removing it
$json_response = substr($json_response, 0, strpos($json_response, "}"));
// trying to decode it, IT PRINTS OUT NULL
var_dump(json_decode($json_response, true));
// copying the json response from the above and putting it into a variable
$json_response = '{"id":455433,"Created":"2016-04-30T12:55:12.313","SenderCompanyName":"x","InvoiceNumber":"2525","PaymentDueDate":"2016-04-30T00:00:00","ToBePaidAmount":350.0000}';
// trying to decode it, IT PRINTS OUT THE RESULT SUCCESFULLY
var_dump(json_decode($json_response, true));
