Using foreach Loop In PHP To Parse Json - php

Question

I'm using iTunes RSS generator to get HOT tracks, now I'm using following way to parse JSON:
<?php
$json_string = 'https://rss.itunes.apple.com/api/v1/in/apple-music/hot-tracks/all/10/explicit.json';
$jsondata = file_get_contents($json_string);
$obj = json_decode($jsondata,true);
$cltn = $obj['feed']['results'][0]['collectionName'];
echo $cltn;
?>
Now, as we know that It'll return only 1 collectionName.
JSON request is returning 10 results. How can I get them all using foreach loop? I've used several ways but no success.

Answer 1

Since you didn't give the output of the array I assume the [0] index is what needs to be iterated.
You need to foreach the $obj['feed']['results'] by doing:
Foreach($obj['feed']['results'] as $cltn){
Echo $cltn['collectionName'];
}

Answer 2

Foreach over the results:
foreach ($obj['feed']['results'] as $result) {
echo $result['collectionName'] . '<br>' . PHP_EOL;
}

Answer 3

Based on the code you provided you can iterate the results to get all possible information from the artist/track list, for example:
$json_string = 'https://rss.itunes.apple.com/api/v1/in/apple-music/hot-tracks/all/10/explicit.json';
$jsondata = file_get_contents($json_string);
$obj = json_decode($jsondata,true);
$cltn = $obj['feed']['results'];
function test_print($item, $key)
{
echo "<strong>".$key."</strong>: ".$item."<br>";
}
foreach($cltn as $key => $c) {
echo "Result No ".($key+1)."<br>";
array_walk_recursive($c, 'test_print');
}
in case you only want to show artistName and collectionName you can slightly modify the above example:
$json_string = 'https://rss.itunes.apple.com/api/v1/in/apple-music/hot-tracks/all/10/explicit.json';
$jsondata = file_get_contents($json_string);
$obj = json_decode($jsondata,true);
$cltn = $obj['feed']['results'];
foreach($cltn as $c) {
echo $c['artistName'].": ".$c['collectionName']."<br>";
}
You can try all the above in PHP Fiddle

Answer 4

Try like this way with foreach() to iterate your array in key=>value manner as you've decoded the json as an array not an object in php.
<?php
$json_string = 'https://rss.itunes.apple.com/api/v1/in/apple-music/hot-tracks/all/10/explicit.json';
$jsondata = file_get_contents($json_string);
$array = json_decode($jsondata,true);
# printing resulted array just for debugging purpose
print '<pre>';
print_r($array);
print '</pre>';
foreach($array['feed']['results'] as $key=>$value){
echo $value['collectionName'].'<br/>';
}
?>
