How to decode the id_token value received from Azure AD v2.0 authentication response?

According to the "RFC 7519 - JWT (JSON Web Token)" standard, the "id_token" value received from Azure AD authentication response should be decoded as below:

• Splitting the encoded string into 3 components: Header, Body, and Signature by the dot "." delimiter: headerEncoded.bodyEncoded.signatureEncoded
• Get the header in JSON string as headerJSON = base64url_decode(headerEncoded).
• Get the body in JSON string as bodyJSON = base64url_decode(bodyEncoded).
• Get the signature in JSON string as signatureJSON = base64url_decode(signatureEncoded).

Here is an example of PHP script, openID_receiver.php, that decodes all 3 components of the "id_token" value received in the Authentication Response:

<html><body><pre>
<?php 
$id_token = $_REQUEST["id_token"];
$parts = explode(".", $id_token);

$header = $parts[0];
$header = str_replace('/','_',$header);
$header = str_replace('+','-',$header);
$header = json_decode(base64_decode($header));
echo json_encode($header,JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
# ready to retrieve header attributes

$body = $parts[1];
$body = str_replace('/','_',$body);
$body = str_replace('+','-',$body);
$body = json_decode(base64_decode($body));
echo json_encode($body,JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
# ready to retrieve body attributes

$signature = $parts[2];
$signature = str_replace('/','_',$signature);
$signature = str_replace('+','-',$signature);
$signature = base64_decode($signature);
# ready for signature validation
?>
</pre></body></html>
