Check json in php
When getting in JSON for a request you first going to need to check whether the incoming content is actually valid JSON. Unfortunately there is no PHP function for that. Here is a little utility function for it:
/**
* Is valid JSON
*
* @param string $jsonString JSON string
*
* @return bool
*/
function isValidJson($jsonString)
{
json_decode($jsonString);
return (json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE);
}
