$edu=json_decode($education,true);

It gives the empty output. Here I need to convert it to array and populate all data. Please help me.
Hi You need to make your json string like below:
$arr = '[{"name":"aaa","id":"12"},{"name":"bbb","id":"20"}]';
$a = json_decode($arr);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($a);
die;
it will show your output like below:
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => aaa
[id] => 12
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => bbb
[id] => 20
)
)
In php, you can use this function to check valid json:
function _isJsonString($string) {
json_decode($string);
return (json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE);
}
You can also check online for valid json: http://json.parser.online.fr/ Hope this will help.
