PHP Parsing JSON to HTML Table multi dimensional arrays - php

Question

I have the following JSON Data:
{
"tables": [
{
"name": "PrimaryResult",
"columns": [
{
"name": "TimeGenerated",
"type": "datetime"
},
{
"name": "Computer",
"type": "string"
}
],
"rows": [
[
"2022-12-03T21:58:48.519866Z",
"DESKTOP-KAFCPRF"
],
[
"2022-12-03T21:58:48.5198773Z",
"DESKTOP-KAFCPRF"
]
]
}
]
}
I'm using this to and trying to find a way to parse the columns as tables headers(TH) and the row data as(TR).
This is what I have:
$jsonObjs = json_decode($data, true);
echo "<pre>" . var_dump($jsonObjs) . "</pre>";
foreach($jsonObjs as $a){
foreach($a[0] as $b) {
foreach($b[1] as $key => $value){
echo $key . " : " . $value . "<br />";
}
}
}
but my results are coming up like:
name : Computer
type : string
0 : 2022-12-03T21:58:48.5198773Z
1 : DESKTOP-KAFCPRF

Here is a loop that will go through the columns and rows. From here it's fairly simple to adjust the logic for building a table. If you need any further help, let me know.
foreach($jsonObjs["tables"] as $a)
{
// Columns
foreach($a["columns"] as $key => $value)
{
$cName = $value["name"];
$cType = $value["type"];
echo("Column name is: ".$cName);
echo("Column type is: ".$cType);
}
// Rows:
foreach($a["rows"] as $key => $value)
{
$rValue1 = $value[0];
$rValue2 = $value[1];
echo("Row: " . $rValue1 . " | " . $rValue2);
}
}
