JSONArray from android to Array php

I am sending through some values from android/java to a server.

First I create a JSONArray object:

JSONArray JSONsamples = new JSONArray();

then I populate the JSONArray the following way:

 for(.....)
                {
                    if(...)
                    {
                      JSONsamples.put(storedArraylist.get(i));
                    }
                }

Then I send the value through post :

userParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("samples", JSONsamples.toString()));
.
.
Http_Client.executeHttpPost(getApplicationContext(), POST_url, userParameters);
.

Then on the server I try to store those values into a php array, but it does not work:

 $samplesarray = $_POST["samples"];
 $samplesarray = json_decode($samplesarray,true);

Before decoding, If I echo $samplesarray , I only get the first value encapsulated in these \"value\" , after json_decode , when I echo $samplesarray I get a parameter expected but null found error.

Please help.

The solution is removing magic quotes, or at least checking if its on or not and working from there. @steven reminded me of this, thank you.

So on the server side, I do the following check to ensure correct json and it works :

$samplesarray = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($_REQUEST['samples']) : $_REQUEST['samples'];

Magic Quotes should be turned off because it adds a \ before your " values. This breakes the json data in your case.

Please read more about why you should not use magicquotes here: http://php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.whynot.php
