How to extract and access data from JSON with PHP?
(1 answer)
Closed 8 months ago.
I'm just trying to get into PHP and understand the core concepts, so have been messing around with arrays, jsons, etc. For this, I've tried everything, yet I cannot get to access the "Name" component of my Json. I recieve it from a CURL HTTP Request, decode it from a json then attempt to go from there. The JSON looks like:
[
{
"food1": "blah",
"food2": "blah",
"food3": "blah"
},
{
"food1": "blah",
"data": [
{
"name": "I need to access this",
"name2": "Another name"
}
]
}
]
I've tried $Result[0]["data"]["name"], $result[0][1]["data"]["name"] and plenty more combinations of that kind of nature, yet still haven't been able to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. :)

Answer 1

In your specific example you'd use $array[1]['data'][0]['name']
A breakdown of your array:
[
// this is the 0th element
{
"food1": "blah",
"food2": "blah",
"food3": "blah"
},
// this is the 1st element
{
"food1": "blah",
// 1st element's data property
"data": [
// 1st element's data property's 0th element
{
// [1]st element's [data] property's [0]th element's [name] property
"name": "I need to access this",
"name2": "Another name"
}
]
}
