Trying to Get Property of non-object in PHP JSON

Question

I am getting the following variable, which I put in a variable $request:

{ "id":0, "person_name":"Altensis DominicX", "age":"14", "dob":"22/02/2004", "sex":"male", "marital_status":"singleX", "addr_name":"Fetles Ingus IncX", "po_box":"box 41", "post_office":"SYDKK", "district":"XXCity", "phones":"456-234", "fax":"8525", "email":"[email protected]", "person_type":"1", "phy_addr":"XXL Business CentreX", "religion":"none", "case_no":"case 1", "username":"user nameX", "pwd":"password", "req_code" = "1" }

When I do

$values = json_encode($request);

I get:

"{\r\n\"id\":0,\r\n\"person_name\":\"Altensis DominicX\",\r\n\"age\":\"14\",\r\n\"dob\":\"22\/02\/2004\",\r\n\"sex\":\"mal\",\r\n\"marital_status\":\"singleX\",\r\n\"addr_name\":\"Fetles Ingus IncX\",\r\n\"po_box\":\"box 41\",\r\n\"post_office\":\"LL 1\",\r\n\"district\":\"LilongweX\",\r\n\"phones\":\"456-234\",\r\n\"fax\":\"8525\",\r\n\"email\":\"[email protected]\",\r\n\"person_type\":\"1\",\r\n\"phy_addr\":\"Balaka Business CentreX\",\r\n\"religion\":\"IslamX\",\r\n\"case_no\":\"case 1\",\r\n\"username\":\"user nameX\",\r\n\"pwd\":\"password\",\r\n\"req_code\" = \"1\"\r\n}"

I want to get the values of id, person_name etc. But when I do

$var_id = $values->id;

I get

h1>500 Internal Server Error
Trying to get property of non-object (8)
#0 /var/www/html/myapp/index.php(175): flight\Engine->handleError(8, 'Trying to get p...', '/var/www/html/m...', 175, Array)
 

I have tried

$values = json_decode($request);

but nothing seems to work.

What I am not doing right?

Why not just $request['id']?

you are encoding the 'encoded' json

$values = json_encode($request);

you need to reverse this , by decoding the $request variable instead of re-encoding it by :

$values = json_decode($request);

by the way you have typo in your json , it is invalid json

replacing this "req_code" = "1" by "req_code": "1" will solve your issue

that's because he have a json type "req_code" = "1" ?! it's not about decoding or encoding
Yes, indeed, it was the typo causing the problem. Thanks @Hassan Ahmed

First of all your json is not valid... Using a json linter will show:

Error: Parse error on line 21: ...sword", "req_code" = "1"} ----------------------^ Expecting 'EOF', '}', ':', ',', ']', got 'undefined'

After you correct the "=" to a ":" use json_decode and then your code will fly :)

Yes, indeed, it was the typo causing the problem. Thanks, @Jakob Vibe
