What are some best practices for parsing JSON data in PHP and storing specific values in variables?
When parsing JSON data in PHP, it is important to decode the JSON string using the `json_decode()` function. Once decoded, you can access specific values by traversing the decoded object/array. To store specific values in variables, you can simply assign the values to variables based on their keys.
// JSON data
$jsonData = '{"name": "John Doe", "age": 30, "email": "johndoe@example.com"}';
// Decode JSON data
$data = json_decode($jsonData);
// Store specific values in variables
$name = $data->name;
$age = $data->age;
$email = $data->email;
// Output stored values
echo "Name: " . $name . "<br>";
echo "Age: " . $age . "<br>";
echo "Email: " . $email;
