Hi i have a JSON string like this:
{
"vidID": "CevxZvSJLk8",
"vidTitle": "Katy Perry - Roar (Official)",
"vidInfo": {
"0": {
"rSize": "67.79 MB",
"quality": "720",
"directurl": "https://r2---sn-5uh5o-f5f6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?ipbits=0&mm=31&mn=sn-5uh5o-f5f6&itag=22&mt=1492837642&dur=269.165&id=o-AB1T_kZWIIiA_ihhSlAK4RXegp3Z9A18zn39hF0Aa51G&initcwndbps=197500&pl=21&source=youtube&mv=m&ip=137.74.1.176&mime=video%2Fmp4&ms=au&ratebypass=yes&requiressl=yes&sparams=dur%2Cei%2Cid%2Cinitcwndbps%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Clmt%2Cmime%2Cmm%2Cmn%2Cms%2Cmv%2Cpl%2Cratebypass%2Crequiressl%2Csource%2Cupn%2Cexpire&key=yt6&lmt=1478841669593636&upn=Wp652d9rFKo&ei=OuX6WLqMDJaLNK-MmLAE&expire=1492859290&signature=A8B328D48101C553D0659D2D9D1F1B2F249D2035.792897E2CF6BFEFC97C81A90EA9CBF9B76FD0283&type=video%252Fmp4%253B%2Bcodecs%253D%2522avc1.64001F%252C%2Bmp4a.40.2%2522&quality=hd720&title=Katy%2BPerry%2B-%2BRoar%2B%2528Official%2529",
"dloadUrl": "//downloadmp.org/#download/22-58fae53acfc14-mp4-71087585/videos/CevxZvSJLk8/Katy%2BPerry%2B-%2BRoar%2B%2528Official%2529.mp4",
"ftype": "mp4",
"framerate": "",
"bitrate": "",
"codec": "",
"itag": "22",
"vidid": "CevxZvSJLk8"
}}}
And i am trying to get value of direct url.
So here is my PHP code:
$obj = json_decode($json);
echo $obj->vidInfo[0]->directurl;
Also tried this
echo $obj->vidInfo->0->directurl;
but i can't get the value of attribute direct url.
The problem is, "0" isn't a number, so you cant use the normal array access. Instead, you have to access it like an name. But as 0 isn't a valid identifier, you have to use the {}-syntax.
echo $obj->vidInfo->{"0"}->directurl;
The other way to get around this problem would be to pass true as second param to json_decode. Doing this would return you an assoc array and not the object format.
$data = json_decode($json, true);
echo $data['vidInfo'][0]['directurl'];
To get the object form try this:
var_dump(get_object_vars($obj));
I like to convert json to an array.
$array = json_decode($json,true);
echo $array ['vidInfo'][0]['directurl']
Here the rest of the data:
vidID => string: $array['vidID'] => CevxZvSJLk8
vidTitle => string: $array['vidTitle'] => Katy Perry - Roar (Official)
rSize => string: $array['vidInfo'][0]['rSize'] => 67.79 MB
quality => string: $array['vidInfo'][0]['quality'] => 720
directurl => string: $array['vidInfo'][0]['directurl'] => https://r2---sn-5uh5o-f5f6.googlevideo.com/vide truncated 687 char
dloadUrl => string: $array['vidInfo'][0]['dloadUrl'] => //downloadmp.org/#download/22-58fae53acfc14-mp4 truncated 60 char
ftype => string: $array['vidInfo'][0]['ftype'] => mp4
framerate => string: $array['vidInfo'][0]['framerate'] =>
bitrate => string: $array['vidInfo'][0]['bitrate'] =>
codec => string: $array['vidInfo'][0]['codec'] =>
itag => string: $array['vidInfo'][0]['itag'] => 22
vidid => string: $array['vidInfo'][0]['vidid'] => CevxZvSJLk8

I want to modify a value inside JSON. Let's say I have this example JSON and I want to have the php change the phone number:
$data = '{
"firstName": "John",
"lastName": "Smith",
"age": 27,
"phoneNumbers": [
{
"type": "home",
"number": "212 555-1234"
}
]
}'
It sounds like I have to convert to an array using json decode:
$data = json_decode($data,true);
Which gives me this:
array (
'firstName' => 'John',
'lastName' => 'Smith',
'age' => 27,
'phoneNumbers' =>
array (
0 =>
array (
'type' => 'home',
'number' => '212 555-1234',
),
),
)
How do I then insert my own variable value into the array please? From my googling it looks like I might be on the right path with something along these lines:
$number = '50';
$data[$key]['age'] = $number;
What it does though, is just add it onto the end of the array, instead of correcting the value in place of the array file.
Firstly, you need to convert your json to PHP array usign json_decode function. check below code for updating/inserting keys:
$data['age'] = $number; // to update age
$data['newkey'] = 'newvalue'; //it will add key as sibling of firstname, last name and further
$data['phoneNumbers'][0]['number'] = '222 5555 4444'; //it will change value from 212 555-1234 to 222 5555 4444.
You just need to consider array format. If key exists then you can update value else it will be new key in array. Hope it helps you.
I have a python script which returns an object as string. I call this python script with php and then print out the result with var_dump(json_decode($result)) and get this (this it the right object I want so my python code works properly I guess):
string(467) "{"userData": {"geburtsdatum": "PMS_2018-01-01", "anrede": "PMS_Herr", "ID": "1", "nachname": "PMS_Nachname1", "Test": {"tel": "PMS_Tel1", "postalOptIn": 0, "postal": "S3_Postal1", "email": "PMS_EMail1"}, "vorname": "PMS_Vorname1" }} "
So as you can see its a string on php side.
But how can I convert it to an object now and the create a multidimensional array from it in php?
If you need more information pls ask Ill add it.
I tried:
json_decode($result, true);
json_decode($result);
$response = (array) $result;
all I get is an Array with 1 Index and the whole Object as Value in it.
The Object gets generated like this on python side:
for message in consumer:
if message.key == str.encode(sys.argv[1]):
returnValue = message.value #this here is an byte obj from external system
consumer.close()
print(returnValue.decode("latin-1"))
Edit 2 and Solution
After long search I found out that the service I'm using (3d Party) returns the result from the python script with json_encode(). I removed that and now this code works:
$array = json_decode($response, TRUE);
return var_dump($array);
Since it is a string you can decode it like this:
$string = '{"userData": {"geburtsdatum": "PMS_2018-01-01", "anrede": "PMS_Herr", "ID": "1", "nachname": "PMS_Nachname1", "Test": {"tel": "PMS_Tel1", "postalOptIn": 0, "postal": "S3_Postal1", "email": "PMS_EMail1"}, "vorname": "PMS_Vorname1" }}';
print_r(json_decode($string, true));
Which returns an array:
Array
(
[userData] => Array
(
[geburtsdatum] => PMS_2018-01-01
[anrede] => PMS_Herr
[ID] => 1
[nachname] => PMS_Nachname1
[Test] => Array
(
[tel] => PMS_Tel1
[postalOptIn] => 0
[postal] => S3_Postal1
[email] => PMS_EMail1
)
[vorname] => PMS_Vorname1
)
)

FIRSTLY: This is a totally different question - How to convert JSON string to array
MY QUESTION...
I have a valid JSON string assigned to a php variable, $json.
I know that I can run it into json_decode($json, true); to parse into a php array at runtime, however I want to go a step beyond and convert this into a reusable php array code string, which can be simply copied and pasted into a php script, like $array = 'php array code here'.
For those who will inevitably ask "why?", an example:
to copy an example JSON endpoint parameter from an API's docs, then quickly convert to php array string code to paste into a test script as a valid test parameter for making a POST request
I know that I can do this:
$json = '
[
{
"ID": "1",
"Name": "Test One"
},
{
"ID": "2",
"Name": "Test Two"
}
]';
echo '<pre>';
echo '$phpArray = ' . print_r(json_decode($json));
echo '</pre>';
exit;
Which gets you close...
$phpArray = Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[ID] => 1
[Name] => Test One
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[ID] => 2
[Name] => Test Two
)
)
But there is of course still some work to do... currently I would copy this into Sublime Text or some other similar text manipulation tool and just use find/replace or regex find/replace in some cases. But what I am looking for is a quicker, more elegant solution whereby I could literally copy+paste that JSON into some script (or anywhere!), and run it to get this:
$phpArray = [
0 => [
'ID' => 1,
'Name' => 'Test One',
],
1 => [
'ID' => 2,
'Name' => 'Test Two',
],
];
Has someone created a good tool to do this already somewhere? I couldn't find anything. I am open to ANY elegant solution and will happily upvote any answer that is an improvement on this rudimentary means of bridging from the JSON to a PHP object / array creation code. Thanks!
<?php
$json = '
[
{
"ID": "1",
"Name": "Test One"
},
{
"ID": "2",
"Name": "Test Two"
}
]';
echo '$output = '.var_export(json_decode($json, true), true).';';
Output:
$output = array (
0 =>
array (
'ID' => '1',
'Name' => 'Test One',
),
1 =>
array (
'ID' => '2',
'Name' => 'Test Two',
),
);
I am creating a JSON structure to be passed back to Ajax. I would like to insert 'para' => "Hello" into "content" like this:
{
"sections": {
"content": [{
"para": "Hello"
}]
}
}
I tried using this code:
$array = array('sections' => array());
array_push($array["sections"], array("content" => array())); // content must be initialized as empty
array_push($array["sections"][0], array("para" => "Hello"));
But I received this instead:
{
"sections": [{
"content": [],
"0": {
"para": "Hello"
}
}]
}
If I try array_push($array["sections"]["content"], array("para" => "Hello")), I get an error instead. How do I insert an array into "content"? What am I doing wrong?
If I understood your intentions correctly, here's the array structure you're aiming for:
array("sections" => array(
"content" => array("para" => "Hello"),
));
However, in Javascript [] represents an array and {} represents an object. If you're trying to create an object with a property of "0", that's not possible in PHP. Variable names have to start with a letter or underscore.
Here's an array of content objects:
$content = new stdClass();
$content->para = 'hello';
array("sections" => array(
"content" => array($content),
));
To add arrays of contents:
array("sections" => array(
"content" => array(
array("para" => "Hello"),
array("para" => "Hello"),
array("para" => "Hello"),
),
));
You can also construct your own contents array first if you're iterating over an index and then json_encode it. Basic example:
$content = array();
for (i=0; i <3; i++) {
$content[] = array('para' => 'hello');
}
json_encode(array("sections" => array(
"content" => array($content),
)));
To convert that to JSON, put your array inside a json_encode() call.
$array['sections'] = array("content" => array(array("para" => "Hello")));
echo json_encode($array);
will give the result in desired format
I'm trying to decode some basic JSON data from Mintpal.com (https://www.mintpal.com/api)
The raw data looks like:
[
{
"market_id": "152",
"coin": "VeriCoin",
"code": "VRC",
"exchange": "BTC",
"last_price": "0.00008512",
"yesterday_price": "0.00009300",
"change": "-8.47",
"24hhigh": "0.00009450",
"24hlow": "0.00008050",
"24hvol": "13.153",
"top_bid": "0.00008063",
"top_ask": "0.00008591"
}
]
I just want to pull bits off this information out and assign them to variables. I use the below code with another near identical JSON output and it works fine.
//GET MINTPAL JSON DATA
$url = "https://api.mintpal.com/v1/market/stats/VRC/BTC";
$contents = file_get_contents($url);
$json = json_decode($contents);
//GET 'LAST BID' INFO
$lastBid = $json->code;
The previous raw JSON that works with the above code looks exactly the same, except for not being encased in '[...]' as the Mintpal one is.
{
"success": true,
"message": "",
"result": [
{
"MarketName": "BTC-LTC",
"High": 0.01126000,
"Low": 0.01060000,
"Volume": 442.30927821,
"Last": 0.01061100,
"BaseVolume": 4.86528601,
"TimeStamp": "2014-08-27T13:49:03.497",
"Bid": 0.01051801,
"Ask": 0.01061100,
"OpenBuyOrders": 50,
"OpenSellOrders": 116,
"PrevDay": 0.01079000,
"Created": "2014-02-13T00:00:00"
}
]
}
Any ideas on why I can't read the information this time round?
If you either did a var_dump() or a print_r() of your $json variable you should see that it is now an array starting at element 0 containing all the unique json elements.
//GET MINTPAL JSON DATA
$url = "https://api.mintpal.com/v1/market/stats/VRC/BTC";
$contents = file_get_contents($url);
$json = json_decode($contents);
pR($json);
//GET 'LAST BID' INFO
$lastBid = $json->code;
function pR($data){
echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
echo "</pre>";
}
That yielded:
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[market_id] => 152
[coin] => VeriCoin
[code] => VRC
[exchange] => BTC
[last_price] => 0.00008512
[yesterday_price] => 0.00009300
[change] => -8.47
[24hhigh] => 0.00009300
[24hlow] => 0.00008050
[24hvol] => 12.968
[top_bid] => 0.00008065
[top_ask] => 0.00008585
)
)
