What's the best way to count the number of occurrences in this json string in PHP-CodePudding

When I request the amount of invoices at Stripe via their API, I get all data returned. So I need to count the number of invoices myself.

This is the JSON data I get back:

I tried this: $count = substr_count($result, $invoice);

where $result is the whole json and $invoice = '"object": "invoice"'.

This does work. It returns 2, which is correct. However, maybe there is a better solution? A more reliable solution?

CodePudding user response：

Here you go

$arr = json_encode($jsonResponse /*from stripe*/, true);
$invoiceCount = count($arr["data"]);

CodePudding user response：

You can use regular expresions like

preg_match_all($string, 'object": "invoice', $matches);
$count = count($matches);
