Convert json to array php gives Array to string conversion

json, php

Solution

The function `json_decode` returns an array. You can't `echo` an array, or you'll get that conversion error.

You want to use `print_r` instead:

print_r(json_decode($json_response, true));

Problem

I have a json as shown below.I want to access the value of `adult`.However when i do `echo json_decode($json_response, true);` i get `Array to string conversion`.What is wrong here ? ``` { "responses": [ { "safeSearchAnnotation": { "adult": "VERY_UNLIKELY", "spoof": "VERY_UNLIKELY", "medical": "UNLIKELY", "violence": "LIKELY" } } ] } ```
