PHP doesn't read JSON properly

Question

I want to send a json from a js script to a php file but when the json is recieved in the php file echo just shows "Array"

    var tot = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < con.length; i++) {
      //tot = tot +"x" + num[i].value +":"+ con[i].textContent + ",";
      tot.push({id:id[i].textContent, nombre : con[i].textContent, cantidad:num[i].value});

    }


    $.ajax({
      type:"POST",
      data : {json:JSON.stringify(tot)},
      url:direccion,
      success:function(data){
        if(data=="bien"){
            swal("Se ha realizado el pago exitosamente");
        }else{
            alert(data)
        }
      }

PHP code

$n = json_decode($_POST['json']);
echo ($n);

@MarkusZeller This problem in that question was that they were trying to echo a nested element and they got an index wrong. Totally different from this. — Barmar, Mar 23 '21 at 20:30

That's what happens when you try to echo() any array. echo() is for scalar values. If you want to see the values and structure of an array, use print_r()

Yes, it works, thanks, how can I access that data? – Eduardo Gonzalez Mar 23 '21 at 20:26
@EduardoGonzalez, you should read language basics first. – user1597430 Mar 23 '21 at 20:29
