あなたが持っているその「文字列」はJSON形式であり、PHPにはそれを使用するための関数が組み込まれています!
json_decodeを使用して、オブジェクトまたは配列に変換できます
これを PHP 配列に変換する例を次に示します。
<?php
$json = '[{"title":"Image One","description":"Image One\r\nDescription","image":{"attachment_id":"111"}},{"title":"Image Two","description":"Image Two Description","image":{"attachment_id":"222"}},{"title":"Image Three","description":"Image Three\r\nDescription","image":{"attachment_id":"333"}}]';
$data = json_decode($json, true);
print_r($data);
その出力は次のとおりです。
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[title] => Image One
[description] => Image One
Description
[image] => Array
(
[attachment_id] => 111
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[title] => Image Two
[description] => Image Two Description
[image] => Array
(
[attachment_id] => 222
)
)
[2] => Array
(
[title] => Image Three
[description] => Image Three
Description
[image] => Array
(
[attachment_id] => 333

)
)
