How to convert string on format array to array

Question

I have a string variable in this format:

$array = '[{"name":"jack","address":"who knows"},{"name":"jill","address":"who knows too"}]';

how can I get value from

$array[0]['name']; //value is 'jack'

Do you 100% control where that `$array` value come from? If this is the case you can use `eval`. — Jeto, Apr 06 '19 at 08:24

$json = '[ {"id":"1", "name":"foo" }, {"id":"2", "name":"bar" } ]';
$baz = json_decode($json,true);

echo($baz[1]['name']); //bar
