Retrieving data from array in php

As I see your array items are json encoded ..

Try to decode them as this:

foreach($array as $key=>$value){
    $decodedValue = json_decode($value, true);
    print_r($decodedValue);
}

You have to use json_decode(), because the string [{"basicsDescription":"<p><br></p>"}]represents an array with an object in JSON.

$string = '[{"basicsDescription":"<p><br></p>"}]';

$objectArray = json_decode( $string );

$objectArray now looks like:

array(1) {
    [0]=>
    object(stdClass)#1 (1) {
      ["basicsDescription"]=>
      string(11) "<p><br></p>"
    }
}

To get the value of basicsDescription you need to access the array in this case with the index 0, then you have the object:

$object = $objectArray[0];

Once you've got the object you can access it's attributes with the object operator ->:

$object->basicsDescription;// content: <p><br></p>

Short form of this:

$string = '[{"basicsDescription":"<p><br></p>"}]';// in your case Input::get('getWysiwyg')

$objectArray = json_decode( $string );
$objectArray[0]->basicsDescription;

If it's possible, that there are more than one item in it, you should go for foreach

If all items of your array representing JSON strings you can use array_map():

$array = array(
    "getWysiwyg" => '[{"basicsDescription":"<p><br></p>"}]',
    "getGoal" => '[{"iconURL":"","title":""}]'
);

$array = array_map( 'json_decode' , $array );

echo "<pre>";
var_dump( $array );

This will output:

array(2) {
  ["getWysiwyg"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    object(stdClass)#1 (1) {
      ["basicsDescription"]=>
      string(11) "<p><br></p>"
    }
  }
  ["getGoal"]=>
  array(1) {
    [0]=>
    object(stdClass)#2 (2) {
      ["iconURL"]=>
      string(0) ""
      ["title"]=>
      string(0) ""
    }
  }
}

Decode and print as follows

$object = json_decode(Input::get('getWysiwyg'));
print $object[0]->basicsDescription;

or directly with the help of array dereferencing

print json_decode(Input::get('getWysiwyg'))[0]->basicsDescription;

will output

<p><br></p>
