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.

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
    )

)
