JSON PHP array from Objective C

Question

$arrayOfEmails=$_POST["arrayOfEmails"];

1st question: $arrayOfEmails is now just an array in JSON notation. How would I convert this to a PHP array?

$arrayOfDictionaries=...

//after querying the db, this gets assigned a JSON string, which was originally an objective c array of dictionaries. So after it's converted to a PHP array,

$dictionaryToBeAdded=$_POST["dictionary"];

The above is now only a non-decoded JSON string, originally an Objective C dictionary, then converted.

2nd question: I need to convert this dictionary to PHP and then add it to the arrayOfDictionaries above. How could I do this?

(I'm not very familiar with PHP syntax)

For #1, Use json_encode() and json_decode().

For #2, just do $arrayOfDictionaries[] = [whatever your new row is]. Is that what you're looking for?

So for #2, $arrayOfDictionaries[]=$dictionaryToBeAdded would insert dictionaryToBeAdded to my arrayOfDictionaries?

Yes. In that case, the index will be 0, 1, 2, etc. If you do $arrayOfDictionaries['my_key_name'] you can create an associative array instead.
