I have converted an array in JSON. But the conversion puts arrays inside the JSON object.
My conversion is this:
{"title":"acastro","description":"teste acastro 4","category_id":29,"region_id":3,"city_id":3158063,"district_id":"1","contact":{"person":"Classe Car"},"0":{"make":"Mercedes-Benz"},"1":{"model":"GLC 220"},"2":{"engine_code":"Classe A"}
Have you can beginning in key "0":{"make":"Mercedes-Benz"}, the interior of the JSON changes anI i can not submit it to an api.
I need my JSON object to be entirely like its beggining:
"title":"acastro","description":"teste acastro 4","category_id":29,"make":"Mercedes-Benz","model":"GLC220",...
and so on.
I tried with json_encode and JSON_FORCE_OBJECT but without luck.
Any solutions?
You can try below code but its not tested:
$json = '{"title":"acastro","description":"teste acastro 4","category_id":29,"region_id":3,"city_id":3158063,"district_id":"1","contact":{"person":"Classe Car"},"0":{"make":"Mercedes-Benz"},"1":{"model":"GLC 220"},"2":{"engine_code":"Classe A"}}';
$newArr = array();
function recursiveArrayShiftToRoot($array, &$newArr=array()){
global $newArr ;
foreach($array as $index=>$eachMixVal){
if(is_array($eachMixVal)){
recursiveArrayShiftToRoot($eachMixVal);
}else{
$newArr[$index] = $eachMixVal;
}
}
}
recursiveArrayShiftToRoot(json_decode($json, true), $newArr);

Im not sure what is happening, but if i do
json_encode()
On a single array, i get valid json, but if i do something like
$ar['key'] = "name";
$array[] = json_encode($ar);
$json = json_encode($array);
It will return invalid json like so:
["{"key":"name"}"]
The expected outcome is
[{"key":"name"}]
I have searched for hours trying to find what is going on.
Due to lack of desired outcome, I can only assume you are trying to get a multidimensional array.
The correct way to achieve this would be to build an array of arrays, and then json_encode the parent array.
$data = array();
$data['fruits'] = array('apple','banana','cherry');
$data['animals'] = array('dog', 'elephant');
$json = json_encode($data);
Following this code, $json will have the following value
{"fruits":["apple","banana","cherry"],"animals":["dog","elephant"]}
It could then be parsed properly by javascript using jQuery.parseJSON()
Just json_encode the entire array.
$ar['key'] = "name";
$json = json_encode($ar);
json_encode returns a string, and json encoding a string will return a string.
Also it's json_encode, not $json_encode
I have a string on my databas, that I'm trying to insert into a json object as an Array, not a string..:
$arrayInString = "[2,3,5,5,6]"; // this comes from the database
$jsonObject = array('numbers' => $arrayInString);
$json = json_encode($jsonObject, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);
echo $json;
When I execute this.. my Json object is..
numbers: "[2,3,5,5,6]";
and not
numbers: [2,3,5,5,6];
Like I originally wanted.. can't get this to work, can anyone help?
Like was said you need to decode the passed data from the database and then build your array output. Something like this:
$arrayInString = "[2,3,5,5,6]"; // this comes from the database
// decode the JSON from the database as we build the array that will be converted back to json
$jsonObject = array('numbers' => json_decode($arrayInString));
echo json_encode($jsonObject, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES);
The slightly modified code above outputs:
{"numbers":[2,3,5,5,6]}
You need to json_decode your $arrayInString variable before you add it to the associative array.
I have a JSON that's strangely formatted ...but it's the way I receive it. Because the arrays inside are huge, simply copying and pasting it takes a long time, so I'm wondering if there's a PHP way to do it.
The way I get it is like this:
{"count":459,"results":[{"title":"Something ....}],"params":{"limit..},"type":"Listing","pagination":{"..":5}}
But I want to get only the "results" array, basically the part of [{"title":"Something ....}]. How would I do that?
Do
$arr = json_decode(your_json, true);
If you ned it as JSON again, do
json_encode($arr['results']);
You can get to that part as follows:
$json = '{"count":459,"results":[{"title":"Something ...."}],"params":{"limit":".."},"type":"Listing","pagination":{"..":5}}';
$obj = json_decode($json);
echo $obj->results[0]->title;
Outputs:
Something ....
You have to decode your json. Be sure that the json is valid!
Your decoded json returns an object of type stdClass instead of an array!
See below the tested code:
$json = '{"count":459,"results":[{"title":"Something ...."}],"params":{"limit": "foo"},"type":"Listing","pagination":{"foo":5}}';
$decoded = json_decode($json);
So you can access array results from the object $decoded:
print_r($decoded->results);
But, in the array, there are objects, thus:
echo $decoded->results[0]->title; // Something ....
I've have this list of products in JSON that needs to be decoded:
"[{"productId":"epIJp9","name":"Product A","amount":"5","identifier":"242"},{"productId":"a93fHL","name":"Product B","amount":"2","identifier":"985"}]"
After I decode it in PHP with json_decode(), I have no idea what kind of structure the output is. I assumed that it would be an array, but after I ask for count() it says its "0". How can I loop through this data so that I get the attributes of each product on the list.
Thanks!
To convert json to an array use
json_decode($json, true);
You can use json_decode() It will convert your json into array.
e.g,
$json_array = json_decode($your_json_data); // convert to object array
$json_array = json_decode($your_json_data, true); // convert to array
Then you can loop array variable like,
foreach($json_array as $json){
echo $json['key']; // you can access your key value like this if result is array
echo $json->key; // you can access your key value like this if result is object
}
Try like following codes:
$json_string = '[{"productId":"epIJp9","name":"Product A","amount":"5","identifier":"242"},{"productId":"a93fHL","name":"Product B","amount":"2","identifier":"985"}]';
$array = json_decode($json_string);
foreach ($array as $value)
{
echo $value->productId; // epIJp9
echo $value->name; // Product A
}
Get Count
echo count($array); // 2
Did you check the manual ?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
Or just find some duplicates ?
How to convert JSON string to array
Use GOOGLE.
json_decode($json, true);
Second parameter. If it is true, it will return array.
You can try the code at php fiddle online, works for me
$list = '[{"productId":"epIJp9","name":"Product A","amount":"5","identifier":"242"},{"productId":"a93fHL","name":"Product B","amount":"2","identifier":"985"}]';
$decoded_list = json_decode($list);
echo count($decoded_list);
print_r($decoded_list);
I have a JSON result in PHP that looks like the following:
[{"attributes":{"type":"Manager__c","url":"/services/data/v23.0/sobjects/Manager__c/a03U00000015ay6IAA"},"Id":"a03U00000015ay6IAA","Name":"ManagerID-00003"},
{"attributes":{"type":"Manager__c","url":"/services/data/v23.0/sobjects/Manager__c/a03U00000015ZfJIAU"},"Id":"a03U00000015ZfJIAU","Name":"ManagerID-00001"},
{"attributes":{"type":"Manager__c","url":"/services/data/v23.0/sobjects/Manager__c/a03U00000015axwIAA"},"Id":"a03U00000015axwIAA","Name":"ManagerID-00002"}]
I want to eliminate the Attributes (which contains Type and URL) so that the JSON result is flattened. So I'd like it to look more like:
[{"Id":"a03U00000015ay6IAA","Name":"ManagerID-00003"},
{"Id":"a03U00000015ay6IAA","Name":"ManagerID-00003"},
{"Id":"a03U00000015ay6IAA","Name":"ManagerID-00003"}]
What is the best way in PHP to eliminate every instance of attributes?
//assign the orignal string to variable $json
$json = '[{"attributes":{"type":"Manager__c","url":"/services/data/v23.0/sobjects/Manager__c/a03U00000015ay6IAA"},"Id":"a03U00000015ay6IAA","Name":"ManagerID-00003"},{"attributes":{"type":"Manager__c","url":"/services/data/v23.0/sobjects/Manager__c/a03U00000015ZfJIAU"},"Id":"a03U00000015ZfJIAU","Name":"ManagerID-00001"},{"attributes":{"type":"Manager__c","url":"/services/data/v23.0/sobjects/Manager__c/a03U00000015axwIAA"},"Id":"a03U00000015axwIAA","Name":"ManagerID-00002"}]';
//decode the string with json_decode();
$decoded = json_decode($json);
//loop over the decoded array and populate array with Id and Name only
foreach($decoded as $d) $newarr[] = array('Id' => $d->Id, 'Name' => $d->Name);
//json encode the resulting array.
$finalJSON = json_encode($newarr);
Using json_decode(), array_map() and json_encode() should be easy enough:
function strip_arguments( $item){
$new_result = array(
'Id' => $item['Id'],
'Name' => $item['Name'],
)
return $new_result;
}
$array = json_decode( $input);
$array = array_map( 'strip_arguments', $array);
$input = json_encode( $array);
You of course may use unset() inside strip_arguments (instead of creating new array) but this will make sure any "new attribute" won't make it trough.
You can use return array(...) instead of declaring variable and chain operations to: json_encode(array_map( 'strip_arguments', json_decode( $input))); too :)
Using PHP's JSON's tools you can convert the JSON string into an array, from here use a simple foreach statement and REGEX to delete array entries.
Once this is done simply convert back into a JSON string using PHP functions and do with it as you please :-)
The functions I am thinking off are - json_decode, json_encode.
