Good day, I want to access the XML response and echo it to display its value but I don't know how to do it. I already tried some few answers in StackOverflow but I fail.
This is my code.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
require_once 'ruFunctions.php';
$rentalsUnited = new rentalsUnited();
$ru= $rentalsUnited->getOwners();
if($ru != null){
$data= simplexml_load_string($ru);
var_dump($data); // it will return boof(false)
var_dump($ru);
echo $data->Pull_ListAllOwners_RS->Status['ID']; //Trying to get property of non-object
}
?>
Results for var_dump($ru);
object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (3) {
["Status"]=>
string(7) "Success"
["ResponseID"]=>
string(32) "44065d9888304e8cba912bce4d131ab1"
["Owners"]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#3 (1) {
["Owner"]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#4 (7) {
["#attributes"]=>
array(1) {
["OwnerID"]=>
string(6) "429335"
}
["FirstName"]=>
string(5) "Test"
["SurName"]=>
string(7) "Tester"
["CompanyName"]=>
string(15) "Test Helpers"
["Email"]=>
string(23) "info#Test.com"
["Phone"]=>
string(12) "+13474707707"
["UserAccountId"]=>
string(3) "602"
}
}
}
It looks like $ru is already a SimpleXMLElement, so trying to call simplexml_load_string will fail on this.
You can see some of the details by
if($ru != null){
echo $ru->Status;
}
You can (probably) list the owners by...
if($ru != null){
foreach ($ru->Owners->Owner as $owner ) {
echo "ownerId=".$owner['OwnerID'].PHP_EOL;
echo "FirstName=".$owner->FirstName.PHP_EOL;
}
}
I return this array of objects from an API call like so. Note that $result is an array of arrays with $result[data] holding todo list objects and result[success] holding status of API call:
array(9) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#3 (5) { ["todo_id"]=> string(10) "1480430478" ["title"]=> string(13) "Check Printer" ["description"]=> string(8)
"Room 233" ["due_date"]=> string(10) "11/29/2016" ["is_done"]=> string(4) "true" } [1]=> object(stdClass)#4 (5) { ["todo_id"]=> string(10) "148043046" ["title"]=> string(18) "Doctor Appointment" ["description"]=> string(7)
"#4pm. " ["due_date"]=> string(10) "11/30/2016" ["is_done"]=> string(4) "true" }
etc..
I sort the array with usort fine and then I want to resort on the "is_done" field and put them at bottom of todo list in date order. The php to do this is :
//Sort by is_done
foreach($result[data] as $arrayElement ) {
foreach($arrayElement as $valueKey => $value) {
if(($valueKey == 'is_done') && ($value == 'true')){
$temp = $arrayElement;
//delete this particular object from the $array
unset($result[data][$arrayElement]);
array_push($result[data], $temp);
}
}
}
The problem I am having is my completed items are now at the end of the array but they are also still in their original position. The unset is not working. I have tried all variations on referencing the $result[data] item to no avail. This is probably something simple but I need some help if possible. Googling and checking this site shows no examples of unset in this type of situation. Thanks in advance.
Update:
after applying colburton's solution the API is now returning this data structure:
object(stdClass)#3 (6) { ["2"]=> object(stdClass)#4 (5) { ["todo_id"]=> int(1480698596) ["title"]=> string(7) "Test #4" ["description"]=> string(4) "test" ["due_date"]=> string(10) "12/02/2016" ["is_done"]=> string(5) "false" } ["3"]=> object(stdClass)#5 (5) { ["todo_id"]=> string(10) "1480617975" ["title"]=> string(13) "Check Printer" ["description"]=> string(4)
"Test" ["due_date"]=> string(10) "12/06/2016" ["is_done"]=> string(5) "false" } ["5"]=> object(stdClass)#6 (5) { ["todo_id"]=> int(1481136023) ["title"]=> string(9) "Todo item" ["description"]=> string(7) "test123" ["due_date"]=> string(10) "01/19/2017" ["is_done"]=> string(5) "false" } etc...
At the end of the call i do a
//json_decode the result
$result = #json_decode($result);
//check if we're able to json_decode the result correctly
if ($result == false || isset($result->success) == false) {
throw new Exception('Request was not correct');
}
//if there was an error in the request, throw an exception
if ($result->success == false) {
throw new Exception($result['errormsg']);
}
//if everything went great, return the data
return $result->data;
}
and then in main program I reference $result as
$result = $todo_items[0];
And that is where fatal error occurs now.
Update II:
Wanted to add that you then need to reindex the array
$result['data'] = array_values($result['data']);
I read here that this is a bug in json_decode. Thanks for the help....
Please use quotes around your array indices. This unsets what you want:
foreach ($result['data'] as $idx => $arrayElement) {
foreach ($arrayElement as $valueKey => $value) {
if (($valueKey == 'is_done') && ($value == 'true')) {
$temp = $arrayElement;
//delete this particular object from the $array
array_push($result['data'], $temp);
unset($result['data'][$idx]);
}
}
}
Im new to json & php and I'm having some issues with json into php string
My json string looks like this
{"status":"OK","cards":
[{"id":100001,"name":"batman","image":11111,"size":75,"region_id":1,"locked":false,"status":"active","created_at":"2013-08-15T11:37:07Z"},
{"id":100002,"name":"superman","image":111111,"size":75,"region_id":1,"locked":false,"status":"active","created_at":"2013-08-15T12:30:09Z"},
{"id":100003,"name":"catwoman","image":1111111,"size":75,"region_id":1,"locked":false,"status":"active","created_at":"2013-08-15T12:39:42Z"},
{"id":100004,"name":"bane","image":1111111,"size":75,"region_id":1,"locked":false,"status":"active","created_at":"2013-09-08T12:56:04Z"}
]}
So Far i have created my string
$json_raw = '{"status":"OK","cards": [{"id":100001,"name": .....
Decoded the json
$arr = json_decode($json_raw, TRUE);
I var_dump($arr);
then it returns
array(2) { ["status"]=> string(2) "OK" ["cards"]=> array(4) { [0]=> array(8) { ["id"]=> int(100001) ["name"]=> string(6) "batman" ["image"]=> int(11111) ["size"]=> int(75) ["region_id"]=> int(1) ["locked"]=> bool(false) ["status"]=> string(6) "active" ["created_at"]=> string(20) "2013-08-15T11:37:07Z" } [1]=> array(8) { ["id"]=> int(100002) ["name"]=> string(8) "superman" ["image"]=> int(111111) ["size"]=> int(75) ["region_id"]=> int(1) ["locked"]=> bool(false) ["status"]=> string(6) "active" ["created_at"]=> string(20) "2013-08-15T12:30:09Z" } [2]=> array(8) { ["id"]=> int(100003) ["name"]=> string(8) "catwoman" ["image"]=> int(1111111) ["size"]=> int(75) ["region_id"]=> int(1) ["locked"]=> bool(false) ["status"]=> string(6) "active" ["created_at"]=> string(20) "2013-08-15T12:39:42Z" } [3]=> array(8) { ["id"]=> int(100004) ["name"]=> string(4) "bane" ["image"]=> int(1111111) ["size"]=> int(75) ["region_id"]=> int(1) ["locked"]=> bool(false) ["status"]=> string(6) "active" ["created_at"]=> string(20) "2013-09-08T12:56:04Z" } } }
Now all I want to do is be able to use this data
e.g if name = batman then
I know this is a stupid question but I am struggling :(
Thank in Advance
json_decode() with TRUE as second parameter gives you an associative array. You need to access the correct index to do what you want.
To list the complete associative array with nice formatting, you can do:
echo '<pre>', print_r($arr), '</pre>';
Now, to access the name in your array:
$man = $arr['cards'][0]['name'];
To check if it's Batman (yay!):
if( isset($man) && $man == 'batman' ) {
# code ...
}
For getting the name of all similar names:
$man = $json['cards']['0']['name'];
for ($i=0; $i < count($json['cards']); $i++) {
echo $json['cards'][$i]['name']."\n";
}
See it live!
when you got the array
$arr = json_decode($json_raw, TRUE);
then check if cards key exist
if(array_key_exists('cards', $arr)){
foreach($arr['cards'] as $key=>$val){
echo $key; ///name, id..
echo $val; /// batman,...
if($key == 'name' && $val =='batman'){
//-------do your stuff
}
}
}
Try with:
$cards = $arr['cards'];
foreach($cards as $card) {
if($card['name'] == 'batman') echo 'Hello batman!';
}
EDIT:
Ok, so this worked for me using code above, try it yourself if you want:
<?php
$json_raw = '{"status":"OK","cards":
[{"id":100001,"name":"batman","image":11111,"size":75,"region_id":1,"locked":false,"status":"active","created_at":"2013-08-15T11:37:07Z"},
{"id":100002,"name":"superman","image":111111,"size":75,"region_id":1,"locked":false,"status":"active","created_at":"2013-08-15T12:30:09Z"},
{"id":100003,"name":"catwoman","image":1111111,"size":75,"region_id":1,"locked":false,"status":"active","created_at":"2013-08-15T12:39:42Z"},
{"id":100004,"name":"bane","image":1111111,"size":75,"region_id":1,"locked":false,"status":"active","created_at":"2013-09-08T12:56:04Z"}
]}';
$arr = json_decode($json_raw, TRUE);
$cards = $arr['cards'];
foreach($cards as $card) {
if($card['name'] == 'batman') echo 'Hello batman!';
}
?>
I have this multidimensional array in PHP:
array(4) {
["took"]=> int(2)
["timed_out"]=> bool(false)
["_shards"]=> array(3) {
["total"]=> int(5)
["successful"]=> int(5)
["failed"]=> int(0)
}
["hits"]=> array(3) {
["total"]=> int(3)
["max_score"]=> float(2.3578677)
["hits"]=> array(1) {
[0]=> array(5) {
["_index"]=> string(13) "telephonebook"
["_type"]=> string(6) "person"
["_id"]=> string(22) "M5vJJZasTGG2L_RbCQZcKA"
["_score"]=> float(2.3578677)
["_source"]=> array(8) {
["Mob"]=> string(19) "XXX"
["Title"]=> string(13) "Analyst"
["Department"]=> string(8) "Analysis"
["Country"]=> string(6) "Sweden"
["Tlf"]=> string(0) ""
["Name"]=> string(16) "XXX"
["Email"]=> string(29) "XX#retro.com"
["thumbnailPhoto"]=> string(0) ""
}
}
}
}
}
The array has several "hits" inside "hits" and I want to loop trough and print out the stuff inside "_source". I have tried a few different approaches but I cant figure out any way to do this. Please help me.
foreach ($array['hits']['hits'][0]['_source'] as $key => $value) {
//do stuff
}
Try this
foreach ($arr['hits']['hits'] as $val)
{
echo $val['_source']['Mob'];
}
like this
I think this may handle it for you. Replace $the_array_you_provided with your "main" array variable (you've not specified it in the post).
$hits = $the_array_you_provided['hits']['hits'];
foreach ($hits as $hit) {
echo $hit['_source']['Title'];
//print everything in the array
//print_r($hit['_source']);
}
Any help feel free to ask.
Try this:
foreach ($array['hits']['hits'] as $hit) {
foreach ($hit['_source'] as $source) {
echo $source, '<br>';
}
}
I am trying to list the containers and so far having no luck at all... i already tried
$aBlobContainer = $blobRestProxy->listContainers();
for($i = 0;$i<= count($aBlobContainer); $i++)
{
echo 'Blob Container name is: '.$aBlobContainer[$i]->Name."\n";
}
but i am having error
Cannot use object of type WindowsAzure\Blob\Models\ListContainersResult as array
Been trying to work around it all day just can't seem to make any progress... let me know if i am doing something silly or if there is a better way to find out if the container already exist? Thanks!

Looking at the Source Code:
$blobContainers = $blobRestProxy->listContainers(); //returns ListContainersResult
in order to get the listing of containers you'd have to do a subsequent call of:
$blobContainerArray = $blobContainers->getContainers(); //exposes the array of containers
Then you should be able to use that array in either a foreach or for statement. This workflow matches that of returning a list of blobs from within a container as seen in the README.md file:
try {
// List blobs.
$blob_list = $blobRestProxy->listBlobs("mycontainer");
$blobs = $blob_list->getBlobs();
foreach($blobs as $blob)
{
echo $blob->getName().": ".$blob->getUrl()."<br />";
}
} catch(ServiceException $e){
$code = $e->getCode();
$error_message = $e->getMessage();
echo $code.": ".$error_message."<br />";
}
$options = new ListContainersOptions();
$options->setPrefix("prefixxxx");
$blobContainers = $blobRestProxy->listContainers($options);
$blobContainerArray = $blobContainers->getContainers();
foreach ($blobContainerArray as $container)
{
Trace("Container: " . $container->getName());
}
From the error message, it looks like $blobRestProxy->listContainers() is returning an object. Try the code below.
$aBlobContainer = $blobRestProxy->listContainers();
foreach($aBlobContainer as $row) {
echo 'Blob Container name is: '.$row->Name."\n";
}
When accessing $aBlobContainer as an array (i.e. $aBlobContainer[$i]), it was probably giving the error.
* Edit *
foreach($aBlobContainer as $key => $row) {
echo $row->Name . "\n";
}
