I am trying to access value of 'user' in the array below. I can't seem to get anything to show. This is my code:
$data = json_encode($values);
When I var_dump the above code, I get the below:
[
{
"user": "xxxx",
"category": "xxxx",
"email": "joe#gmail.com"
}
]
Now I want to get value of 'user' and I did this:
echo $data[0]->user;
But this does not show anything.
Please what am I doing wrong?
As your using json_encode($values) to give you $data, $data is just a string - the JSON you show in the question, and $data[0]->user doesn't work on a string.
If you want the value of user, you should use your original data, I'm assuming $values...
echo $values[0]->user;

i'm trying to get the fields "name, price, image and rarity" to show in a php file, anyone can help me? Thanks ;D
{
"status": 300,
"data": {
"date": "2019-09-16T00:00:00.000Z",
"featured": [
{
"name": "Flying Saucer",
"price": "1,200",
"images": {
"icon": icon.png",
},
"rarity": "epic",
},
I'm using this that a friend told me, but i cant put that to work :c
<?php
$response = json_decode(file_get_contents('lista.json'), true);
foreach ($response as $val) {
$item = $val['name'];
echo "<b>$item</b>";
}
?>
I'm not quite sure what you are trying to achieve. You can just access the contents via the $response array like this:
echo $response['status']; // would output 300
You can use foreach to iterate through the array. For example: If you want to output the name of every element of the array you can use:
foreach ($response['data'] as $val) { // loop through every element of the data-array (if this makes sense depends on the structure of the json file, cant tell because it's not complete)
echo $val['featured']['name'];
}
You gotta get the index in $val['data']['featured']['name'] to retrieve the name index.
When you defined the second parameter of json_decode, you said that you want your json to be parsed to an array. The brackets in the original json identify when a new index of your parsed array will begin.
I suggest you to read about json_decode and json in general:
JSON: https://www.json.org/
json_decode function: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
I want to parse values from an Json API, but I cant get it to work
The API returns this JSON:
[
{
"assets": [
{
"id": 6,
"size": 1429504,
"download_count": 1,
"browser_download_url": "https://dl.domain.tld/files/cdbc6e19-cd86-4ed6-8897-37ec5aaee578"
}
]
}
]
I tried to get the ID value like this:
$json_obj = json_decode($resp);
print $json_obj->assets[0]->id;
but I get no result whereas it should be 6. What do I do wrong here?
Remember the outer part of the JSON is an array, as suggested by the opening [. So you need to first access the first (and only) element of it:
$json_obj[0]->assets[0]->id; //<-- note the first [0]
I think the correct answer is
$json_obj = json_decode($resp);
print $json_obj[0]->assets[0]->id;
The json object will be converted to a php array, since you have an array with a object inside in your case it will be a multidimentional array with the objects inside.
Try this its worked for me..
$json ='[
{
"assets": [
{
"id": 6,
"size": 1429504,
"download_count": 1,
"browser_download_url": "https://dl.domain.tld/files/cdbc6e19-cd86-4ed6-8897-37ec5aaee578"
}
]
}
]';
$json_obj = json_decode($json);
var_dump($json_obj[0]->assets[0]->id)
?>
decode JSON to the array and fetch the id by proper array keys
$jToArray = json_decode($resp, TRUE);
echo $jToArray[0]['assets'][0]['id'];//You will get the correct id
I know this is a basic question, but I cannot figure out how to actually do this. I have read countless tutorials about it but they seemingly do not work.
var_dump($google_check);
returns the following:
string(488) "{
"matches": [
{
"threatType": "MALWARE",
"platformType": "LINUX",
"threat": {
"url": "http://malware.testing.google.test/testing/malware/"
},
"cacheDuration": "300s",
"threatEntryType": "URL"
},
{
"threatType": "MALWARE",
"platformType": "LINUX",
"threat": {
"url": "http://malware.testing.google.test/testing/malware/"
},
"cacheDuration": "300s",
"threatEntryType": "URL"
}
]
}
"
I want to echo results from the array, so something like
echo $google_check[0][matches][threat];
echo $google_check[1][matches][threat];
Problem is this returns illegal offset on matches and threat, and only echo's a single character {
What am I doing wrong? How do I echo the results from this array without dumping the entire array?
The response you recieved is in json so you'll need to first json_decode the response.
$decoded = json_decode($google_check, true);
Then you can access it like an array
echo $decoded['matches'][0]['threat'];
echo $decoded['matches'][1]['threat'];
if you want the url value you'll need to do it like this.
echo $decoded['matches'][0]['threat']['url'];
echo $decoded['matches'][1]['threat']['url'];
please also note, when looking at array keys that aren't numerical you'll need to wrap in quotes (e.g. $decoded['matches'] instead of $decoded[matches]).
Here's a quick explanation on json
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/json/json_php_example.htm
I'm attempting to do something I've done many times before (access objects in a JSON file with PHP) and for some reason json_decode is only returning the last item in the JSON array. Here's the JSON:
{
"person": {
"lname": "smith",
"fname": "bob"
},
"person": {
"lname": "jones",
"fname": "jane"
}
}
And the PHP:
<?php
//access and dump
$json = file_get_contents('people.json');
$filey = json_decode($json, true);
var_dump($filey);
?>
The result is only the last item in the array:
array (size=1)
'person' =>
array (size=2)
'lname' => string 'jones' (length=5)
'fname' => string 'jane' (length=4)
Using json_last_error returns no errors and I'm valid according to jsonlint. I'm also not finding any console errors when I load the page.
I'm totally stumped and can't see anything different from the times I've done this before - can anyone identify what I'm missing here?
That's because your json object names "person" within json array are similar so json decode will override the values with latest.
Consider something like
{
"person1": {
"lname": "smith",
"fname": "bob"
},
"person2": {
"lname": "jones",
"fname": "jane"
}
}
and your code will work fine.
Marcatectura, I know you've already accepted the answer that suggests using different object keys but I thought you should know. If you want an array in PHP, You don't even need object names. The following JSON will do:
[
{
"lname": "Dawes",
"fname": "April"
},
{
"lname": "Colin",
"fname": "Dick"
}
]
A trick I use when I'm designing my JSON is to build a sample PHP array in the shape I want json_decode to give me, encode that array and output the result to screen. So what I posted above is the result of:
$arr = [
['lname'=>'Dawes','fname'=>'April'],['lname'=>'Colin','fname'=>'Dick'],
];
$json = json_encode($arr);
echo $json;
Since I built a JSON by encoding an array having the shape I want, I can be confident that even as my data change, json_decode($json,true) will give me the array shape I expect.
Happy coding.
When you use json_decode(true), your json is now an array.
You cannot have two array keys that are the same, in this case "person".
If you still want to use json_decode(true), then change "person" to "person1" or so.
Try both var_dump($filey) and var_dump($json), you will see what I'm talking about.
I wonder how to parse a json array without values
Json: {"status":"FAILED","errors":{"email":["NOT_UNIQUE"],"name":["TOO_SHORT"]}}
How can i get the value of email in a foreach loop?
What i mean with "without value" is: there is an array called email and name... How can i get the value for "email" that currently says NOT_UNIQUE?
In your current example, your JSON string is malformed. I dont know if thats a typo on your part while creating your question. Assuming the JSON string is okay in your code, a simple json_decode() will do just fine. Consider this example:
$json_string = '{ "Json": { "status": "FAILED", "errors": { "email": [ "NOT_UNIQUE" ], "name": [ "TOO_SHORT" ] } }}';
$data = json_decode($json_string, true);
echo $data['Json']['errors']['email'][0]; // NOT UNIQUE
use json_decode, json_decode($str, true) will return it as an assosiative array whereas json_decode($str, false) will return objects.
json_decode("{"status":"FAILED","errors":{"email":["NOT_UNIQUE"],"name":["TOO_SHORT"]}}", true)['errors']['email']
should get the email for you.
