PHP string to array
<p>I have a string that when I var_dump returns the following</p>

<pre><code>string(20) "{\"key1\":\"key1_value",\"key2\":\"key2_value\"}"
</code></pre>

<p>How can I convert that into an array that will return the following when I var_dump?</p>

<pre><code>array(2) { ["key1"]=&gt;  string(20) "key1_value" ["key2"]=&gt;  string(20) "key2_value" } 
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks,<br>
Tee</p>
