I need help decoding this, is this json?

Question

Is this json? I need to echo certain info out of this and having trouble doing it. I have tried json_decode, and it doesn't seem to work.

a:4:{s:5:"entry";a:1:{s:4:"type";s:10:"individual";}s:5:"group";a:1:{s:6:"family";a:0:{}}s:5:"image";a:3:{s:6:"linked";b:1;s:7:"display";b:1;s:4:"name";a:4:{s:9:"thumbnail";s:19:"jim12_thumbnail.jpg";s:5:"entry";s:15:"jim12_entry.jpg";s:7:"profile";s:17:"jim12_profile.jpg";s:8:"original";s:18:"jim12_original.jpg";}}s:4:"logo";a:3:{s:6:"linked";b:1;s:7:"display";b:1;s:4:"name";s:14:"jim12_logo.jpg";}}

Answer 1

use

$decode = unserialize('a:4:{s:5:"entry";a:1:{s:4:"type";s:10:"individual";}s:5:"group";a:1:{s:6:"family";a:0:{}}s:5:"image";a:3:{s:6:"linked";b:1;s:7:"display";b:1;s:4:"name";a:4:{s:9:"thumbnail";s:19:"jim12_thumbnail.jpg";s:5:"entry";s:15:"jim12_entry.jpg";s:7:"profile";s:17:"jim12_profile.jpg";s:8:"original";s:18:"jim12_original.jpg";}}s:4:"logo";a:3:{s:6:"linked";b:1;s:7:"display";b:1;s:4:"name";s:14:"jim12_logo.jpg";}}')

and then

print_r($decode);

to have informations about the object

EDIT:

it's just an array and you can access it's information this way:

$decode['image']['name']['thumbnail']

in this example, you'll get the thumbnail value
