I already did my research first, but some topics didn't solve my issue and some quite different from what issue I have. I have a JSON that didn't print out the entire data and as upon checking the culprit is the newline when it was a value (it is my first time knowing it, my bad).
<?php
$jsn = <<<_JSON
{
"name": "Editorial",
"links": "default",
"data": [
{
"Status": "Pending",
"Tags": "Documentation",
"Info": "all documentation to be ready by Friday"
},
{
"Status": "Published",
"Tags": "Pros and Cons Limits",
"Info": "documentations about-Realtime\n-Speed per sec\n-API Limit"
}
]
}
_JSON;
$data = json_decode($jsn, true);
$output= $data['links'];
echo $output;
It will not print any output as the \n was there. So I was planning to do in the future, if they tried to use a newline, I will just temporary change the \n to other characters and decode it back. And that's where I'm having a hard time.
As testing it wasn't working for me.. Converting it back and show in textarea.
$txt = "Documentations about%2Realtime%2Speed per sec%2API Limit";
$value = str_replace("%2", '\n', $txt);
$textArea = '<textarea rows="4">'.nl2br($value).'</textarea>';
echo $textarea;
//output
//documentations about\nRealtime\nSpeed per sec\nAPI Limit
If anyone can help me in your spare time, I really appreciate it.. Thanks in advance.

I understand there are other similar posts about this, I am going out of my wits end here.
I have a few files with some JSON (all valid according to online validators, eg. jsonlint) - see EDIT below.
$contents = file_get_contents(DATA_PATH.'/'.$type.'.json');
$data = json_decode($contents, true);
echo var_dump($data);
Returns NULL
If I echo $contents, I do get output.
I'm not sure what is wrong? I understand file_get_contents gets it into a string, however, how do I get it in a valid JSON? Would using fopen() be any different?
I even added the JSON to a variable but had the same outcome... I must be stupid.
Note: Most JSON I'll get will be from an API, these file-based JSONs are for testing purposes.
Thanks.
EDIT: Sample json

Your file might have a UTF-8 BOM which is not copied when you copy-and-paste your sample JSON to a (web based) validator. It's an invisible mark at the beginning of your file.
If you run echo bin2hex(file_get_contents(DATA_PATH.'/'.$type.'.json')) your file should begin with 7b, which is a {.
If it starts with efbbbf and then a 7b, there is a BOM. Either strip it out yourself or re-save your JSON without one using a text editor like Sublime Text which allows you to configure that.
I have a problem with fetching the correct data from a decoded JSON file. I don't know if my question is correct since I don't really know what I am doing for the moment.
So, this is what I don't want to do.
$ln = 'https://api.steamprices.net/v2/csgoprices/?id='.market_hash_name.'&key=XXX';
$link1 = file_get_contents($ln);
$myarray1 = json_decode($link1, true);
echo $myarray1['median_price'];
I am trying to get the price for every steam skin that's being loaded in my code. What this code does is that it loads this api link for every item I load. So if I have 50 items, this link will be loaded 50 times, which is not accepted by the API.
What I want to do, is that I want to load it once, and fetch the prices for every item from that exact link. That link would look like this:
https://api.steamprices.net/v2/csgoprices/?&key=XXX
So, lets say I load it once, and then when I want to apply market_hash_name to it, how do I do?
I assume it is something like this.
$priceJson = file_get_contents('https://api.steamprices.net/v2/csgoprices/?key=XXX');
$priceData = json_decode($priceJson, true);
echo $priceData[''.$market_hash_name.'']['price'];
But it doesn't seem to work. I am sorry for this messy explanation, I an unfamiliar with this.
Note that an example response for the api link looks like this:
{
"-r-H1Z1 Shirt": {
"price": 0.11,
"image": "https://steamcommunity-a.akamaihd.net/economy/image/iGm5OjgdO5r8OoJ7TJjS39tTyGCTzzQwmWl1QPRXu8oaf69-NOHLAbqw_23aLe8AcRQ8-3uyKA7_CGvsJYds9U65FMF7i6AbXTJ8PDm57EliZdK7KLPuuh3dxC3m4m0ihzss0MKE6NtIt4qs-JukOX73WgETXYze_pxEBA",

Well, the json string you provide isn't valid but something like this may help you
<?php
$jsonData=file_get_contents("json.file"); // simply contains your json string as posted
$jsonArray=json_decode($jsonData,true);
$jsonObject=json_decode($jsonData);
$list_of_MHN=array("2016 Invitational Crate","ANGRYPUG Motorcycle Helmet");
print_r($jsonArray);
exit;
foreach($jsonArray as $hash_name=>$arr){
if(in_array($hash_name,$list_of_MHN)){
print_r($arr);
}
}
for($i=0;$i<count($list_of_MHN);$i++){
if(isset($jsonArray[$list_of_MHN[$i]])){
print_r($jsonArray[$list_of_MHN[$i]]);
}
}
for($i=0;$i<count($list_of_MHN);$i++){
if(isset($jsonObject->$list_of_MHN[$i])){
print_r($jsonObject->$list_of_MHN[$i]);
}
}
?>
I am trying to add a JSON script to a php file in my sites admin. My goal is to have the JSON run when the order status is change to 3 (shipped).
I am pretty sure I am going about this all wrong but I am not sure what to do yet. here is my code:
if ( ($check_status['orders_status'] != $status) && $check_status['orders_status'] == 3) { ?>
<script>
POST https://api.yotpo.com/oauth/token
{
"client_id": "### Your client_id ###",
"client_secret": "### Your client_secret ###",
"grant_type": "client_credentials"
}
POST https://api.yotpo.com/myapi/purchases
{
"validate_data": true,
"platform": "general",
"utoken": "### YOUR UTOKEN ###",
"email": "client#abc.com",
"customer_name": "bob",
"order_id": "order_1",
"order_date": "2010-10-14",
"currency_iso": "USD",
"products": {
"SKUaaa12": {
"url": "http://example_product_url1.com",
"name": "product1",
"image": "http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/13300000/A1.jpg",
"description": "this is the description of a product",
"price": "100",

}
}
}
</script>
<?php } ?>
First of all, there is nothing in my code that says hey, this is JSON besides the tag.
do I need to have the json in a sepearate json file? Or do I need to convert this script to php?
First of all, Nikita is correct that JSON does not run - it is not script. It is a standardized way to store information.
PHP has native JSON handling functions and can easily take existing objects or arrays and convert them to JSON.
<?php
$json = json_encode($my_data);
?>
<input type="hidden" name="post_data" <?php echo 'value="'.$json.'" ?> />
Then when you send this variable $json to the next page, you'll unpack it like so
$my_data = json_decode($_POST['post_data']);
This is a pure PHP implementation, though JavaScript does nice functions to stringify to/from json as well.
I am trying to create a json object from my mysql database for a android project. I need an output something like this:
{
"feed": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "National Geographic Channel",
"image": "http://api.androidhive.info/feed/img/cosmos.jpg",
"status": "\"Science is a beautiful and emotional human endeavor,\" says Brannon Braga, executive producer and director. \"And Cosmos is all about making science an experience.\"",
"profilePic": "http://api.androidhive.info/feed/img/nat.jpg",
"timeStamp": "1403375851930",
"url": null
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "TIME",
"image": "http://api.androidhive.info/feed/img/time_best.jpg",
"status": "30 years of Cirque du Soleil's best photos",
"profilePic": "http://api.androidhive.info/feed/img/time.png",
"timeStamp": "1403375851930",
"url": "http://ti.me/1qW8MLB"
}
]
}
But I am getting ouput something like this:
{"feed":[{"id":"0","name":"punith","image":"","status":"ucfyfcyfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff","profilePic":"http:\/\/api.androidhive.info\/feed\/img\/nat.jpg","timestamp":"1403375851930","url":""}]}
Everything is on a single line and the id attribute should not be quotes. Is there anything I could do.This is my php file
<?php
define('HOST','');
define('USER','');
define('PASS','');
define('DB','');
$con = mysqli_connect(HOST,USER,PASS,DB);
$sql = "select * from timeline";
$res = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
$result = array();
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($res)){
array_push($result,
array('id'=>$row[0],
'name'=>$row[1],
'image'=>$row[2],
'status'=>$row[3],
'profilePic'=>$row[4],
'timestamp'=>$row[5],
'url'=>$row[6]
));
}
echo json_encode(array("feed"=>$result));
mysqli_close($con);
?>
And will it affect if the output is on a single line.
The database contains exactly the same columns used as attributes.
Thanks in advance
ID in quotes
ID is in quotes because it is a string, not an integer. You can change that by changing this:
array('id'=>$row[0]
to this:
array('id'=>intval($row[0])
"Pretty Printing"
Putting it on multiple lines will only affect readability but not how the data is computed - but you can prettify it: Pretty-Printing JSON with PHP
$output = json_encode(array("feed"=>$result), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
echo $output;
Try encoding with JSON_PRETTY_PRINT
$json_string = json_encode($data, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
where data is your result array.
in your case
echo json_encode(array("feed"=>$result),JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
refer this Tutorial from the official PHP docs .
Aswell as the other answers, it would be more semantic to include the json header, I've found that just including this also helps with the appearance of the json itself so that it is formatted properly and not all one continuous string.
header('Content-Type: application/json');
For php>5.4
$json=json_encode(array("feed"=>$result),JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
header('Content-Type: application/json');
print_r($json);
I am using PHP on shared server to access external site via API that is returning JSON containing 2 levels of data (Level 1: Performer & Level 2: Category array inside performer). I want to convert this to multidimensional associative array WITHOUT USING json_decode function (it uses too much memory for this usage!!!)
Example of JSON data:
[
{
"performerId": 99999,
"name": " Any performer name",
"category": {
"categoryId": 99,
"name": "Some category name",
"eventType": "Category Event"
},
"eventType": "Performer Event",
"url": "http://www.novalidsite.com/something/performerspage.html",
"priority": 0
},
{
"performerId": 88888,
"name": " Second performer name",
"category": {
"categoryId": 88,
"name": "Second Category name",
"eventType": "Category Event 2"
},
"eventType": "Performer Event 2",
"url": "http://www.novalidsite.com/somethingelse/performerspage2.html",
"priority": 7
}
]
I have tried to use substr and strip the "[" and "]".
Then performed the call:
preg_match_all('/\{([^}]+)\}/', $input, $matches);
This gives me the string for each row BUT truncates after the trailing "}" of the category data.
How can I return the FULL ROW of data AS AN ARRAY using something like preg_split, preg_match_all, etc. INSTEAD of the heavy handed calls like json_decode on the overall JSON string?
Once I have the array with each row identified correctly, I CAN THEN perform json_decode on that string without overtaxing the memory on the shared server.
For those wanting more detail about json_decode usage causing error:
$aryPerformersfile[ ] = file_get_contents('https://subdomain.domain.com/dir/getresults?id=1234');
$aryPerformers = $aryPerformersfile[0];
unset($aryPerformersfile);
$mytmpvar = json_decode($aryPerformers);
print_r($mytmpvar);
exit;
If you have a limited amount of memory, you could read the data as a stream and parse the JSON one piece at a time, instead of parsing everything at once.
getresults.json:
[
{
"performerId": 99999,
"name": " Any performer name",
"category": {
"categoryId": 99,
"name": "Some category name",
"eventType": "Category Event"
},
"eventType": "Performer Event",
"url": "http://www.novalidsite.com/something/performerspage.html",
"priority": 0
},
{
"performerId": 88888,
"name": " Second performer name",
"category": {
"categoryId": 88,
"name": "Second Category name",
"eventType": "Category Event 2"
},
"eventType": "Performer Event 2",
"url": "http://www.novalidsite.com/somethingelse/performerspage2.html",
"priority": 7
}
]
PHP:
$stream = fopen('getresults.json', 'rb');
// Read one character at a time from $stream until
// $count number of $char characters is read
function readUpTo($stream, $char, $count)
{
$str = '';
$foundCount = 0;
while (!feof($stream)) {
$readChar = stream_get_contents($stream, 1);
$str .= $readChar;
if ($readChar == $char && ++$foundCount == $count)
return $str;
}
return false;
}
// Read one JSON performer object
function readOneJsonPerformer($stream)
{
if ($json = readUpTo($stream, '{', 1))
return '{' . readUpTo($stream, '}', 2);
return false;
}
while ($json = readOneJsonPerformer($stream)) {
$performer = json_decode($json);
echo 'Performer with ID ' . $performer->performerId
. ' has category ' . $performer->category->name, PHP_EOL;
}
fclose($stream);
Output:
Performer with ID 99999 has category Some category name
Performer with ID 88888 has category Second Category name
This code could of course be improved by using a buffer for faster reads, take into account that string values may themselves include { and } chars etc.
You have two options here, and neither of them include you writing your own decoder; don't over-complicate the solution with an unnecessary work-around.
1) Decrease the size of the json that is being decoded, or
2) Increase the allowed memory on your server.
The first option would require access to the json that is being created. This may or may not be possible depending on if you're the one originally creating the json. The easiest way to do this is to unset() any useless data. For example, maybe there is some debug info you won't need, so you can do unset($json_array['debug']); on the useless data.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php
The second option requires you to have access to the php.ini file on your server. You need to find the line with something like memory_limit = 128M and make the 128M part larger. Try increasing this to double the value already within the file (so it would be 256M in this case). This might not solve your problem though, since large json data could still be the core of your problem; this only provides a work-around for inefficient code.
