Parse JSON file in PHP and insert into SQL ---- - php

Question

So I have been doing my research and no method seems to parse my file correctly. I have tried these two codes, my data is being inserted into sql however it is inserted 3 times with the first insertion being fine while the other 2 are blank. Here is my JSON file and code:
JSON:
[
{
"Comments": {
"Manufacturer": "--E",
"Model": "----- ----- ----",
"BIOSFamily": "---",
"BIOSDate": --/--/---8",
"SerialNumber": "---------"
}
},
{
"#ComputerSystem.v1-----------ystem": {
"/redfish/v1/Systems/1/": {
"AssetTag": " ",
"Bios": {
"#odata.id": "/redfish/v1/systems/1/bios/"
},
"BiosVersion": "U----------------)",
"Boot": {
"BootSourceOverrideMode": "-----y",
"BootSourceOverrideTarget": "None",
"BootSourceOverrideEnabled": "Disabled",
"BootSo-----------arget#Redfish.AllowableValues": [
"None",
"Cd",
"Hdd",
"Usb",
"Utilities",
"Diags",
"BiosSetup",
"Pxe",
"UefiShell"
]
Code:
<?php
$connect = mysqli_connect("reserve1",
"root", "","server_31");
$filename = "-----.json";
$data = file_get_contents($filename);
$array = json_decode($data, true);
foreach($array as $row)
{
$sql = "INSERT INTO servers (Model,
Manufacturer, BIOSFamily,
BIOSDate,
SerialNumber) VALUES
('".$row["Comments"]["Model"]."' ,
'".$row["Comments"]
["Manufacturer"]."',
'".$row["Comments"]
["BIOSFamily"]."','".$row["Comments"]
["BIOSDate"]."','".$row["Comments"]
["SerialNumber"]."')";
mysqli_query($connect, $sql);
}
echo "Data in";
?>
ERROR:" Notice: Undefined index: Comments "
other forloops i have tried are:
foreach($data as $Comments)
{
$sql =" INSERT INTO
'servers'('Manufacturer','Model',
'BIOSFamily','BIOSDate',
'SerialNumber'), VALUES('{$Comments-
>Manufacturer}', '{$Comments-
>Model}',
'{$Comments->BiosFamily}',
'{$Comments->BiosDate}',
'{$Comments-
>SerialNumber}')";
}
ERROR:" Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in"
To reiterate: the first method does get my info onto sql but does so 3 times with the last 2 entries being blank. The second method does not insert anything into my table.
EDIT:
so i tried vardump, using the file itself all i got was NULL, copy and pasting the contents and labeling it $json= ' content ' in the script i get..
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Reserve1\newtry\NEWJSONP.php:16:
array (size=1)
0 =>
object(stdClass)[1]
public 'Comments' =>
object(stdClass)[2]
public 'Manufacturer' => string 'HPE' (length=3)
public 'Model' => string '-------------' (length=20)
public 'BIOSFamily' => string '---' (length=3)
public 'BIOSDate' => string '--/--/----' (length=10)
public 'SerialNumber' => string '-------' (length=10)
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Reserve1\newtry\NEWJSONP.php:17:
array (size=1)
0 =>
array (size=1)
'Comments' =>
array (size=5)
'Manufacturer' => string '---' (length=3)
'Model' => string '------ ----------' (length=20)
'BIOSFamily' => string '---' (length=3)
'BIOSDate' => string '--/--/----' (length=10)
'SerialNumber' => string '-------' (length=10)

Answer 1

Simply index in your foreach loop the first item since $array object maintains Comments only in first position. See 0 index from var_dump output:
array (
0 =>
array (
'Comments' =>
array (
'Manufacturer' => '--E',
'Model' => '----- ----- ----',
'BIOSFamily' => '---',
'BIOSDate' => ' --/--/-- - 8 ',
'SerialNumber' => '---------',
),
),
1 =>
array (
'#ComputerSystem.v1-----------ystem' =>
...
Therefore, iterate through the Comments array and use parameterization for readability:
$connect = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// PREPARED STATEMENT
$sql = "INSERT INTO servers (Model, Manufacturer, BIOSFamily, BIOSDate, SerialNumber)
VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
// INDEX FIRST ITEM AT 0
foreach($array[0] as $row) {
$stmt = $connect->prepare($sql);
// BIND PARAMETERS (NO COMMENTS INDEX)
$stmt->bind_param("sssss", $row["Model"],
$row["Manufacturer"],
$row["BIOSFamily"],
$row["BIOSDate"],
$row["SerialNumber"]);
// EXECUTE STATEMENT
$result = $stmt->execute();
}
