CURL response as Array

Question

When the CURL response is returned in format like below.

Array
(
    [timestamp] => 20150409065254
    [callback_status_code] => 200
    [fingerprint] => 252839e4790446a4bdd3a353aa232281a7a0b464
    [txnid] => 219773
    [merchant] => ABC0001
    [restext] => Approved
    [rescode] => 00
    [expirydate] => 052016
    [settdate] => 20150409
    [refid] => t1
    [pan] => 444433...111
    [summarycode] => 1
    )

is there any way to access its data as array. Its just in array format not array

I'm using following code.

$options = array(
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,   // return web page

    );

$param = http_build_query($data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$param);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
$content  = curl_exec($ch);
$status = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $content;

Any help guys ???

Get whoever is supplying the array to use json_encode(). Then, when you get the data, use json_decode($response, true); — ʰᵈˑ

No. That output looks like the result of print_r(). It's designed to be human-readable, but it's not possible to parse it reliably. — Barmar

@JobinJose then contact them as that seems more like a debug message (human readable array print_r) than a usable response. — ʰᵈˑ

You can try the print_r_reverse() function described here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php#93529

So then you would define this function somewhere, and change the last couple lines of your code as follows:

...
$content = curl_exec($ch);
$myArray = print_r_reverse($content);
$status = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);
// Do something with $myArray

Hope that helps.

Did you follow the instructions in that link I sent you? Did you create that function? What exactly is happening when you try execute that code?

I copied that function then tried this $ar = (print_r_reverse($content)); echo $ar['pan']; but its empty

instead of runing echo $ar['pan']; Try running var_dump($ar); and take a look to see what is outputted. See if it is what you expect.

it work but that not necessary to use print_r_reverse even print_r() do the same it just out put the sting not in array format!!.

I've just tested, and it works perfectly. Look at the code here: pastebin.com/taeK8iT8
