title: json_decode returning empty array
body: <p>I have a curl command which outputs the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"{"meta":{"code":200},"data":{"username":"monstore","bio":"Art clothing line with our life scary tales as the imagination. info@heymonstore.com \/ +6281213162069 \/ BB PIN 293A4565","website":"http:\/\/www.heymonstore.com","profile_picture":"http:\/\/images.ak.instagram.com\/profiles\/profile_4472462_75sq_1354349840.jpg","full_name":"Monstore","counts":{"media":547,"followed_by":6472,"follows":129},"id":"4472462"}}"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's the curl command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  $output = curl_exec($ch); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Basically the above is what $output prints out. So I tried to decode this by doing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$userinfo = json_decode($output, false);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>however it returns an empty array. Any idea why?</p>
