My PHP script gets the content from another site via file_get_contents(). The site im grabbing the content from only has an array thats being displayed with print_r() looking like this.

Array
(
 [0] => apple
 [1] => 10
 [2] => 6
 )

Now on my Page i want the grabbed content to be an array and not string? Is there anyway todo this ive been searching around for quite some time now and cant find a solution.

What does `var_dump()` give you? – Moses Schwartz Aug 02 '19 at 12:42
Is the other site in your control? – nice_dev Aug 02 '19 at 12:43

@Freddy789 See [json_encode()](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php); – nice_dev Aug 02 '19 at 13:44
