将JSON字符串数组转换为PHP数组

我在PHP中有一个JSON数组：

$array={"definitions":[
    {"text":"Informal One who is proficient at using or programming a computer; a computer buff.",
     "attribution":"from The American Heritage\u00ae Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition"
    },
    {"text":"Informal One who uses programming skills to gain illegal access to a computer network or file.",
     "attribution":"from The American Heritage\u00ae Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition"
    },
    {"text":"Informal One who enthusiastically pursues a game or sport: a weekend tennis hacker. ",
     "attribution":"from The American Heritage\u00ae Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition"
    },
    {"text":"See hackie.",
     "attribution":"from The American Heritage\u00ae Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition"
    }
]}

无论我尝试什么，我都无法访问元素。我需要访问如下元素：

---

$array[0][“定义”][0][“文本”]

尝试使用内置库

或者，如果您运行的是较旧版本的PHP，我可以使用PEAR服务器\u JSON（）

$data = json_decode($your_json_string, TRUE);

第二个参数将解码的json字符串转换为关联数组

比如说

json_decode('{"foo":"bar"}', true); // returns array("foo" => "bar")

---

这是我的错误，我的数组实际上是一个字符串。不要重复你自己的问题。有超过1个代表的人应该更清楚。
