Can't parse json. Can you help?

Question

PHP

It is necessary to parse json through foreach.

Did it like this:

$arr = json_decode('[
  {
    "name": "test1",
  },
  {
    "name": "test2",
  }
]', true);
            
            foreach($arr as $item) {
                echo $item['name'];
            }

after executing the code, the page is empty, that is, there is no answer.

Answer 1

Wrong format. Extra commas. There must be no commas before the closing brace.

Answer 2

Well, firstly, your JSON is incorrectly described. It must be so...

$arr = json_decode(' {"my_array": [
  {
    "name": "test1"
  },
  {
    "name": "test2"
  }
]}', true);

Secondly, learn how to display errors in PHP and print different structures - the function print_r($arr);
