I have an array called $list that returns multiple values, I'm looping through this and displaying these values. I need to edit one of the original values.
Here's the result of;
print("<pre>".print_r($list,true)."</pre>");
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => Home
[link] => /example/
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => Items
[link] => /example/locations/items <-- I want to edit this value
)
[2] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => Paris
[link] => /example/locations/paris
)
)
The code below;
foreach ($list as $key => $item) {
echo $item->link;
}
Produces;
/example/
/example/locations/items
/example/locations/paris
I need to edit the link value IF the name key is Items. I essentially want to remove the last URL parameter so the output looks like this;
/example/
/example/locations
/example/locations/paris
Note that it will not always be position [1] in the array, but the name value will always be Items.
How can I achieve this?
You could use array_walk, passing it a function which checked for the name key being Items and if so returning the dirname of the link key:
array_walk($list, function (&$v) { if ($v->name == 'Items') $v->link = dirname($v->link); });
Output:
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => Home
[link] => /example/
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => Items
[link] => /example/locations
)
[2] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => Paris
[link] => /example/locations/paris
)
)

I'm trying to get the values from [iso_3166_1] and [title] in an array, which is inside another array.
I have searched and tried several solutions and tips, but none of them works, and now I'm stuck.
The content is fetched like this
$content = json_decode($jsonFile);
Then I have the following content
stdClass Object (
[id] => 508947 [titles] => Array (
[0] => stdClass Object ( [iso_3166_1] => FR [title] => Devenir rouge [type] => )
[1] => stdClass Object ( [iso_3166_1] => MX [title] => Red [type] => )
[2] => stdClass Object ( [iso_3166_1] => LV [title] => Es sarkstu [type] => )
[3] => stdClass Object ( [iso_3166_1] => NO [title] => Rød [type] => )
[4] => stdClass Object ( [iso_3166_1] => SE [title] => Röd [type] => )
[5] => stdClass Object ( [iso_3166_1] => PE [title] => Red [type] => )
)
)
I have tried to make a foreach loop like this for instance, but that only gives me Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach():
foreach($content as $row) {
foreach($row['titles'] as $country) {
echo $country['iso_3166_1']['title'];
}
}
I have also tried tho following, to try get rid of the stdClass Objects in the array, which does not seem to work either:
$content = json_decode(json_encode($content), true);
$content = (array)$content;
this should work for you to compare & understand why your code fails.
$titles = $content->titles;
foreach ($titles as $country_instance) {
echo $country_instance->iso_3166_1;
echo '-';
echo $country_instance->title;
echo '<br>';
}
If I understand the question right, json_decode associative mode should return arrays of arrays from your JSON.
$array = json_decode($json, true);
You can also try using flag JSON_OBJECT_AS_ARRAY but from what I've read it only does something when null is supplied as the second argument.
I have a scenario where an API is returning multiple records inside object containing a numeric array like so;
stdClass Object
(
[Event] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[ID] => 111
[Name] => My First Event
[EventType] => stdClass Object
(
[ID] => 1
[Category] => Music
)
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[ID] => 222
[Name] => My Second Event
[EventType] => stdClass Object
(
[ID] => 2
[Category] => Sport
)
)
)
[Errors] => stdClass Object
(
[Result] => 0
[Message] =>
)
[RecordCount] => 2
)
I'm current using a foreach loop to iterate through the records. This works fine.
foreach($result->Event as $Event)
But there is a problem here I have a scenario where a single results is returned in the object like so;
stdClass Object
(
[Event] => stdClass Object
(
[ID] => 11
[Name] => My Only Event
[EventType] => stdClass Object
(
[ID] => 2
[Category] => Sport
)
)
[Errors] => stdClass Object
(
[Result] => 0
[Message] =>
)
[RecordCount] => 1
)
Notice there is no [0] array index for the single results.
What's the best way to overcome this keeping in mind that I have no control of the data returned by the API?
Check if Event is an array or an object
if( is_object( $result->Event ) )
{
// ...
}
else
{
foreach( // [....]
}
You may process the object or overwrite it with a 1 item array as suggested by Sam
Btw: very bad API design. I would complain....
The best workaround I have found is to add the single Event to an array with a zero index within the result object. This way the result object matches the same structure as a result containing multiple records.
if(!is_array($result->Event)){
$result->Event = array($result->Event);
}
Here's my issue:
I have an object filled with arrays that look like this.
[376339] => Array
(
[0] => 1f422730-f54b-4e4d-9289-10258ce74446
[1] => 60dc4646-06ce-44d0-abe9-ee371847f4df
)
I need to search another object to find objects with the matching IDs, like below. Is there a way of doing this without a foreach? There are SEVERAL and I would like to not have to loop over the entire object every time.
stdClass Object
(
[id] => 1f422730-f54b-4e4d-9289-10258ce74446
[percentage] => 32
[destinations] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 59826
[destination_id] => 59826
[type] => Destination
[dequeue] =>
[value] => xxxxxxxxxxx
)
)
)
stdClass Object
(
[id] => 60dc4646-06ce-44d0-abe9-ee371847f4df
[percentage] => 68
[destinations] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 60046
[destination_id] => 60046
[type] => Destination
[dequeue] =>
[value] => xxxxxxxxxxxx
)
)
)
I need it to end up looking like this.
[376339] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1f422730-f54b-4e4d-9289-10258ce74446
[percentage] => 32
[destinations] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 59826
[destination_id] => 59826
[type] => Destination
[dequeue] =>
[value] => xxxxxxxxxxx
)
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 60dc4646-06ce-44d0-abe9-ee371847f4df
[percentage] => 68
[destinations] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 60046
[destination_id] => 60046
[type] => Destination
[dequeue] =>
[value] => xxxxxxxxxxxx
)
)
)
)
I'm not sure if this makes any sense, that's why I had my two inital outputs I need to have merged into one somehow. This is all coming from one huge json object and I'm just using json_decode($jsonStuff) to decode it.
Would this be easier if I added true in the decode function? If I could just search for it like I could in python, that would be neat. But as it is, I'm at a loss as to how to get the output I need.
Note: Input json CANNOT be changed, I have no affiliation with the people that created it.
First loop over your input array and create an array with the key as the id
$input = json_decode($json_input);
$output = array();
foreach($input as $obj){
$output[$obj->id] = $obj;
}
then you can build your other array by searching the id on the array key
$massive_search_array = array(376339 => array
(
0 => 1f422730-f54b-4e4d-9289-10258ce74446,
1 => 60dc4646-06ce-44d0-abe9-ee371847f4df
)
);
$final_output = array();
foreach($massive_search_array as $index => $searches){
foreach($searches as $search){
if(isset($output[$search])){
$final_output[$index][] = $output[$search];
}
}
}
I have a JSON array that I want to be able to drill down to a lower level and print just that value. The problem occurs when I reach a level that has is indacted as [0] (or [n]). For example I have the following output, and I want to just print the game key for the first league.
This is how I am trying to print it
HtmlSpecialChars(print_r($user->fantasy_content->users[0]->user[1]->games[0]->game[0]->game_key,1))
However I keep getting this error:
Cannot use object of type stdClass as array
When I do it incrementally it seems to fail on this command (so I assume I'm not index correctly):
$user->fantasy_content->users[0]
Here is the output:
stdClass Object
(
[fantasy_content] => stdClass Object
(
[xml:lang] => en-US
[yahoo:uri] => /fantasy/v2/users;use_login=1/games
[users] => stdClass Object
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[user] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[guid] => IYEZUHTVBYRLIB3OAQC5WRZPQY
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[games] => stdClass Object
(
[0] => stdClass Object

[game] => Array

[season] => 2006
)
)

)
)

For objects you must use the -> syntax and if the key/property name is a number or has other special characters, you will need to use the $object->{'0'} syntax.
The game_key can be retrieved using:
$user->fantasy_content->users->{'0'}->user[1]->games->{'0'}->game[0]->game_key;
You can convert a stdClass object to an array by casting it like so:
<?php
$array = (array) $myObject;
echo json_encode($array);
You can also cast inline:
<?php
echo json_encode((array) $object);
I tried to get an answer for this in other posts with no luck, hope someone can help me here, i have a multidimensional array:
Array (
[0] => stdClass Object (
[affectsVersions] => Array ( )
[assignee] => hmontes
[attachmentNames] => Array ( )
[components] => Array ( )
[created] => 2012-08-15T05:31:26.000Z
[customFieldValues] => Array (
[0] => stdClass Object (
[customfieldId] => customfield_10201
[key] => [values] => Array (
[0] => 123456
)
)
[1] => stdClass Object (
[customfieldId] => customfield_10004
[key] => [values] => Array (
[0] => 30
)
)
)
[description] => [duedate] => [environment] => [fixVersions] => Array ( )
[id] => 10228
[key] => NTP-29
[priority] => 3
[project] => NTP
[reporter] => hmontes
[resolution] => [status] => 1
[summary] => case 123456
[type] => 3
[updated] => 2012-08-15T05:31:26.000Z
[votes] => 0
)
)
this is what i get when i do a print_r with the array variable, i need to search and get the value from [key] that would be in this case NTP-29 and keep it in a variable as string.
You can get the value of an array by the key using $array['keyName'];
But, for you it looks like you just need to go deeper $array[0]['key'];
Both arrays values and properties of objects can be accessed using associative array syntax. To get the value of the key property in your object within the array you'd do the following, assuming $array is a variable containing a reference to your array:
$key = $array[0]['key']; // accesses NTP-29 in this case.
Here's another way to access the same property, using object property-access syntax:
$key = $array[0]->key; // also accesses NTP-29.
