How can I access the elements of this json?
string(305) "{"puesto":"181","sexo":"Hombre","edad":"28","experienciaPuesto":"1","diasTrabajados":"Lunes,Martes,Miercoles,Jueves,Viernes","id":"6","idPromocion":"61,64,69,4","habilidades":"1,3,2","paquetesLenguajes":"Excel,Power point,Word","conocimientosEspecificos":"1,2","sueldo":"600.00","ultimoGradoEstudios":"6"}"
I wanted to do it this way but it does not work out
echo $solicitudEmpleo['puesto'];
What you have is a text string, not an object.
First you have to convert that JSON text to a JSON object.
$obj = json_decode($solicitudEmpleo,true);
echo $obj["puesto"];
The true is to be able to handle it as an "arrangement".
You have to decodear the json with json_decode() are thus:
<?php
$json = $solicitudEmpleo;
var_dump(json_decode($json));
var_dump(json_decode($json, true));
$solicitudEmpleoArray = json_decode($solicitudEmpleo);
// esto imprime "181"
var_dump($solicitudEmpleoArray['puesto']);
?>
The first one prints it in a object and the second one in a array indexed.
