How Can I "print" or "Echo" a specific value or a single value in a PHP file ????
<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "https://services.west.net.br/rest/server.php/planos",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"authorization: Basic YXaBepOmsadsahpaacGVwwaybassdwsadsadsawd3BpYSBw0cmddF2YWdaalbSBiaXBdlbmFkbw==",
"cache-control: no-cache",
"content-type: application/json",
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);

echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
echo $response;
}
?>

Answer 1

with the code below
$curl_response = curl_exec($curl); //<!---- $curl_responce instead of $output
if ($curl_response === false) {
$info = curl_getinfo($curl);
curl_close($curl);
die('error occured during curl exec. Additioanl info: ' .
var_export($info)); //<!--- this is pointless IMO
}
curl_close($curl);
$decoded = json_decode($curl_response); ///<!--- set to results to $decoded, also no second value ie. "json_decode($curl_response, 1);"
if (isset($decoded->response->status) && $decoded->response->status == 'ERROR') {
die('error occured: ' . $decoded->response->errormessage);
}
echo 'response ok!';
var_export($decoded->response);
//==================================//
// looks like someone just dropped the code below
// this line in. ha ha.
$result = json_decode($output, 1); //<!--- output does not exist, but this is already done above. so use $decoded instead of $output.
// check if an id came back
if (!empty($result['id'])) {
$deal_id = $result['id'];
return $deal_id;
} else {
return false;
}
echo $deal_id;
the variable $output is never set, instead use $decoded. This is because $result also does not exist and is instead $curl_response in your code above. Sense you already have it decoded, there is no need to decode it again.
That said, in the json_decode there, the second parameter is not set to true, when that is the case you get an object back and not an array as you might expect.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
mixed json_decode ( string $json [, bool $assoc = false [, int $depth = 512 [, int $options = 0 ]]] )
assoc
When TRUE, returned objects will be converted into associative arrays.
The second option is JSON_OBJECT_AS_ARRAY that has the same effect as setting assoc to TRUE.
To fix the part your having trouble with you should be able to replace the stuff below the ===== with this.
// check if an id came back
if (!empty($output->id)) {
$deal_id = $output->id;
return $deal_id;
} else {
return false; // should echo something instead of returning.
}
echo $deal_id;
Also to remove the other output, comment these 2 lines.
echo 'response ok!';
var_export($decoded->response);
