PHP decode of JSON doesn't work from the Google translate API -

i'm trying decode json returned google translation service:

$r = '[[["hola mundo","hello world",,,1]],,"en"]'

but when this:

echo json_decode($r);

it returns me null.

i got manual maded js, trying made php

to clarify issue,

json string (and in php should quote encapsulated), in code, have not declared string array, , clear can instantiate array couple methods:

$myarray = array(); $myarray2 = [];

so fix issue; encapsulate json string, replace echo json_decode($r) var_dump($r) , voila

$r = '[[["hola mundo","hello world",,,1]],,"en"]'; var_dump(json_decode($r));

but not valid json syntax (check on http://jsonlint.com/)
