Foreach the results of an API call in php - php

Question

I have made a GET call through an API and received data that originally looked like this:
{"#odata.context":"API-URL-CALL","value":[{"Id":1,"Name":Bill"},{"Id":2,"Name":Ted"}]
I took this data and altered it to look like this:
array("Id"=>1,"Name"=>"Bill","Id"=>2,"Name"=>"Ted");
What I am trying to do is echo this all out but so far I have only been able to get the second Id and Name to print out.
My code is as follows:
<?php
$my_array = array("Id"=>1,"Name"=>"Bill","Id"=>2,"Name"=>"Ted");
foreach($my_array as $key => $value)
{
echo
"
$key = $value <br>
";
}
?>
As stated above this only prints out:
Id = 2
Name = Ted
I feel like this is a simple fix and I have looked at many posts but can't seem t find the proper fix for this. I have tried things such as:
$key = $value[0] <br>
$key = $value[0][Id] <br>
foreach($my_array as $arr)
echo
"
id = $arr[Id], <br>
name = $arr[Name]
"
foreach($my_array as $arr)
echo
"
id = $arr[0][Id], <br>
name = $arr[0][Name]
"
All these ever get me are a single character or nothing at all. Like I said before I feel like this is a simple fix and I'm overlooking something or not adding something? Any help or advise or even a link to another post would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time :^D

Answer 1

Not sure how you achieved your second array from the initial JSON (although that has a few errors in the format), but you have flattened the array into a single array which has duplicate keys (and will only end up with the last value).
If you try
print_r(array("Id"=>1,"Name"=>"Bill","Id"=>2,"Name"=>"Ted"));
you would see the data ends up as
Array
(
[Id] => 2
[Name] => Ted
)
To extract the data properly, you need to decode the JSON (corrected JSON in the code) and then extract the data...
$json = '{
"#odata.context": "API-URL-CALL",
"value": [
{
"Id": 1,
"Name": "Bill "
},
{
"Id": 2,
"Name": "Ted"
}
]
}';
$my_array = json_decode($json, true);
foreach ( $my_array['value'] as $arr) {
echo "
id = $arr[Id], <br>
name = $arr[Name]
";
}

You have to put quotes around index names.
foreach($my_array as $arr)
echo '
id = '.$arr['Id'].', <br>
name = '.$arr['Name'].'
';

Answer 3

This happens because you defined associative array. This type of array use key=>value pairs. In this type of array keys should be unique.
Because you used none unique keys for example Id and Name, Every time you insert a value to array it overwrite previous values. So every time you loop through array it just shows last overwrote value.
To fix the problem you should use array inside array:
$my_array = array(array("Id"=>1,"Name"=>"Bill"),array("Id"=>2,"Name"=>"Ted"));
foreach($my_array as $array)
{
echo "{$array['Id']} = {$array['Name']} <br>";
}
