How can JSON data be parsed and processed in PHP?
To parse and process JSON data in PHP, you can use the built-in json_decode function to convert a JSON string into a PHP variable. Once the JSON data is decoded, you can then access and manipulate the data using PHP arrays or objects.
// JSON data to be parsed
$jsonData = '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}';
// Decode JSON data into PHP variable
$decodedData = json_decode($jsonData);
// Accessing and processing the decoded data
echo "Name: " . $decodedData->name . "<br>";
echo "Age: " . $decodedData->age . "<br>";
echo "City: " . $decodedData->city;
