(PHP ActiveX) JSON: Nested Objects

Here we have a JSON object that contains nested JSON objects. This example demonstrates how to access the contents of the nested objects.

{
  "name": "donut",
  "image":
    {
    "fname": "donut.jpg",
    "w": 200,
    "h": 200
    },
  "thumbnail":
    {
    "fname": "donutThumb.jpg",
    "w": 32,
    "h": 32
    }
}

// The presence of whitespace chars for pretty-printing makes no difference to the Load

$jsonStr = '{\'name\': \'donut\',\'image\':{\'fname\': \'donut.jpg\',\'w\': 200,\'h\': 200},\'thumbnail\':{\'fname\': \'donutThumb.jpg\',\'w\': 32,\'h\': 32}}';

$success = $json->Load($jsonStr);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $json->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;

// Get the "image" object.
// imageObj is a Chilkat.JsonObject

if ($json->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {

    exit;
