How is this json format saved in my database called?-CodePudding

there is a format that I do not know what it is called, but in my database whenever a json is saved to the database it is done in this format.

How can I convert this format back to Json? Is there an online tool that can do it quickly?

a:3:{s:7:"enabled";s:3:"yes";s:12:"notify_email";s:12:"{site_admin}";s:11:"notify_days";a:1:{i:0;s:3:"Mon";}}

CodePudding user response：

What you have is not JSON, but PHP serialized data. You can convert it back to an associative array using unserialize and then into JSON if required using json_encode:

$s = 'a:3:{s:7:"enabled";s:3:"yes";s:12:"notify_email";s:12:"{site_admin}";s:11:"notify_days";a:1:{i:0;s:3:"Mon";}}';

$arr = unserialize($s);
print_r($arr);

echo json_encode($arr);

Output:

Array
(
    [enabled] => yes
    [notify_email] => {site_admin}
    [notify_days] => Array
        (
            [0] => Mon
        )

)
{
    "enabled": "yes",
    "notify_email": "{site_admin}",
    "notify_days": [
        "Mon"
    ]
}
