    json_decode($userinfo);
    PHP:
    will decode the json string as object 

    json_decode($userinfo, true);
    PHP:
    will decode the json string as array..

    For some reason I'm able to extract the json string as array but when I try it to do it as object it breaks. Do you have any idea why?

    Thanks

    Hi, I found out that putting echo in front of 
    json_decode($userinfo);
    PHP:
    forcing to break.. but doesn't cause any problem when it is 
    json_decode($userinfo, true);
    PHP:
    which is an array.. Interesting find for me..
