PHP JSON Multi-dimensional array outputting only 1 result - php

Question

I have been stumped on this for hours. I need to get the initial key of the array and the id. However I am only getting 1 result returned back.
Below is example code and also here is a link - https://3v4l.org/HdMtA
In short the expected output should be.
key 11111111 id val_somevalue5555
key 2222222 id val_somevalue25
I am only getting one result.
key 11111111 id val_somevalue5555
.
$json = '[{
"11111111": {
"id": "val_somevalue5555",
"customer": {
"32312": {
"name": "john doe"
}
}
},
"2222222": {
"id": "val_somevalue25",
"customer": {
"32312234": {
"name": "jane doe"
}
}
}
}]';
$jsonarr = json_decode($json, true);
$newarr = [];
foreach($jsonarr as $value)
{
$key = key($value);
$newarr[] = ['key' => $key, 'id' => $value[$key]['id']];
}
var_dump($newarr);
Any help would be appreciated not sure if its the format of the json or what.

Answer 1

You are iterating the wrong thing.
Using print_r() to view the contents of the decoded array shows us that the thing you want to iterate over is - in fact - wrapped in another array.
print_r($jsonarr) returns this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[11111111] => Array
(
[id] => val_somevalue5555
[customer] => Array
(
[32312] => Array
(
[name] => jane doe
)
)
)
[2222222] => Array
(
[id] => val_somevalue25
[customer] => Array
(
[32312234] => Array
(
[name] => jane doe
)
)
)
)
)
So, what you have is a JSON object wrapped in JSON array with said object being the only item inside it.
You want to either:
a) Get rid of those [ and ] things at the beginning and the end of your JSON, or... (if you don't have control over that JSON)
b) Iterate the inner object (PHP represents it as associative array):
$jsonarr = json_decode($json, true);
$newarr = [];
foreach($jsonarr[0] as $key => $value) {
$newarr[] = ['key' => $key, 'id' => $value['id']];
}`
var_dump($newarr);

Change your loop to use the key from the foreach loop itself: Like this
foreach($jsonarr as $key => $value)
{
$newarr[] = ['key' => $key, 'id' => $value[$key]['id']]; //this seems off but what do I know.
}
PHP uses a copy ( or reference?) of the array for Foreach, it can produce some unexpected things to happen. It does some spooky voodoo stuff some times, if you ever try editing the array structure while using reference in foreach such as foreach($var as $k => &$v ) look out. I swear one time it was like phantom items in the array ... lol

You need to change in you json structure and then make necessary changes which I mentioned below
$json = '{
"11111111": {
"id": "val_somevalue5555",
"customer": {
"32312": {
"name": "john doe"
}
}
},
"2222222": {
"id": "val_somevalue25",
"customer": {
"32312234": {
"name": "jane doe"
}
}
}
}';
$jsonarr = json_decode($json, true);
$newarr = [];
foreach($jsonarr as $key=> $value)
{
$newarr[] = ['key' => $key, 'id' => $value['id']];
}
var_dump($newarr);

Are you looking this o/p:
$json = '[{
"11111111": {
"id": "val_somevalue5555",
"customer": {
"32312": {
"name": "john doe"
}
}
},
"2222222": {
"id": "val_somevalue25",
"customer": {
"32312234": {
"name": "jane doe"
}
}
}
}]';
$jsonarr = json_decode($json, true);
$newarr = [];
foreach($jsonarr[0] as $key => $value)
{
//echo "<br />".$key = key($value);
$newarr[] = ['key' => $key, 'id' => $value['id']];
}
var_dump($newarr);
Output:
array(2) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
["key"]=>
int(11111111)
["id"]=>
string(17) "val_somevalue5555"
}
[1]=>
array(2) {
["key"]=>
int(2222222)
["id"]=>
string(15) "val_somevalue25"
}
}
Or you can change the json structure as ankit patel said and follow his code...

Answer 5

Add another foreach to loop the elements of [0] if you will have more than this.
foreach($jsonarr as $value)
{
foreach($value as $key => $val){
$newarr[] = ['key' => $key, 'id' => $val['id']];
}
}
Result
array(2) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
["key"]=>
int(11111111)
["id"]=>
string(17) "val_somevalue5555"
}
[1]=>
array(2) {
["key"]=>
int(2222222)
["id"]=>
string(15) "val_somevalue25"
}
}
