So i have written this code to get a json from API.AI. i want to know how to echo out the decoded JSON file on this form. Currently the decoded JSON is being saved in a new file JSON.php, but instead of saving i want to know how to view it?
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"), true);
file_put_contents("JSON.php", print_r($data, true));
As comments state you can use var_dump to view the rough data but if you actually wanna use it for something you might wanna loop over the object and extracte properties.
like so:
foreach($data as $theData)
{
echo $theData->property;
}
Regards
do like this:-
$postdata = file_get_contents("php://input");
$request = json_decode($postdata);
print_r($request);
or you can do :- $request->indexname

I run the following PHP after I submit a form and get the output shown below:
$data = json_encode($_POST);
// output
{"First_Name":"Fred"}
How do I use PHP to just display the value 'Fred'?
I tried echo $data['First_Name']; but this is blank.
You no need to encode your incoming $_POST data.
Just say:
echo $_POST['First_Name'];
If you get a json data, decode it into an array:
$data = '{"First_Name":"Fred"}';
$decoded = json_decode($data, true);
echo $decoded['First_name'];
First of all, don't know why you use json_encode on PHP Array, and try to access it like it's an array - because after json_encode it's a string.
You have to use json_decode($data, true) and then you can access it like $data['First_Name'] or try to access it directly without json_encode() by $_POST['First_Name']
The json_decode() function is used to decode or convert a JSON object to a PHP object.And try to put the object to decode in another variable to avoid errors
<?php
$obj = '{"First_Name":"Fred"}';
$data = json_decode($obj);
echo ($data->First_Name);
?>
<?php
function get_stuff()
{
($_GET['http://****RemovedForSecurityPurposes****.repairshopr.com/api/v1/tickets?api_key=****RemovedForSecurityPurposes****']);
echo $_GET;
}
get_stuff();
?> /* Yes, Pointless closing tag, I'm cool like that. */
For some reason when I run this code the output I'm getting is "Array" and I can't figure out why? I know it is an array that I'm getting from the URL but I thought it would just print in whatever format its in? Am I missing something?
Thanks In advance!
You cannot pass website URL to $_GET.
You should use file_get_contents()
$content = file_get_contents('http://YOUR_URL');
If you have valid json then you can convert it to an array.
$data = json_decode($content, true);
then print it,
echo '<pre>'; print_r($data);
The Message of OP when I run this code the output I'm getting is
"Array".
You need to use file_get_contents to read a file from a remote server. If your file response an array then you have to use print_r or var_export or var_dump. Or if your file response is a string(json) then you need to store it in a variable and apply a decode method.
function get_stuff(){
$response = file_get_contents('http://****RemovedForSecurityPurposes****.repairshopr.com/api/v1/tickets?api_key=****RemovedForSecurityPurposes****');
print_r($response); // if array
$arr = json_decode($response); // decode of json
print_r($arr);
}
get_stuff();
I think you will understand what i mean. Let me know if you are useful or need some help.
I have the url http://pubapi.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=singleorderdata&marketid=132 which leads to an array.
I want to get the value of the first 'sellorders' which in this case is: 0.00000048 and store it in the variable $sellorderprice.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Just access the url contents thru file_get_contents. Your page actually return a JSON string, to get those values into meaningful data, decode it thru json_decode, after that access the data needed accordingly:
$url = 'http://pubapi.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=singleorderdata&marketid=132';
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents($url), true);
$sellorderprice = $data['return']['DOGE']['sellorders'][0]['price'];
echo $sellorderprice;
That code actually points directly to index zero 0 which gets the first price. If you need to get all items an just simply echo them all you need to iterate all items thru foreach:
foreach($data['return']['DOGE']['sellorders'] as $sellorders) {
echo $sellorders['price'], '<br/>';
}
Its simple, you just have to decode json like this:
$json = file_get_contents("http://pubapi.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=singleorderdata&marketid=132");
$arr = json_decode($json, true);
$sellorderprice = $arr['return']['DOGE']['sellorders'][0]['price'];
I am trying to output some json data from a json file via php but it does not seem to work. I tried this:
<?php
$jsonFile = file_get_contents('dataset/dataset.json');
$data = json_decode($jsonFile, true);
echo $data->{'data'}[0]->{'letter'}
?>
The json file is following:
{
"data":[
{
"letter":"A",
"blocks":{
"1":"0",
"2":"0",
"3":"0",
"4":"0",
"5":"0"
}
}
]}
Basically it should output the letter "A" but it outputs nothing. What did I do wrong?
Thanks
P.S. I tried to do it like here: How to process JSON in PHP? but it does not work.
After json_decode($jsonFile, true) your data is in array. So you should not access using object. Access data by array index. Try this..
echo $data['data'][0]['letter'];
More about json_decode()
This says, you get an array (the true parameter):
$data = json_decode($jsonFile, true);
You can see this if you do this:
print_r($data);
Try this:
echo $data['data'][0]['letter'];
I've got a JSON object that I'm sending to a PHP script and I'm having trouble parsing the JSON. Here's the POST request:
http://mywebsite.com?action=somefunction&{%22id%22:1,%22Name%22:%22Mike%22}
And here's my PHP function, which obviously doesn't work:
$data = $_GET['data'];
$obj = json_decode($data);
echo $obj->Name;
die();
The end goal is to extract the name "Mike" from the URL string. Any suggestions?
Try taking a look at what PHP is outputting from json_decode():
$data = $_GET['data'];
$obj = json_decode($data);
var_dump($obj);
Your code itself works fine: http://ideone.com/0jsjgT
But your query string is missing the data= before the actual JSON. This:
http://mywebsite.com?action=somefunction&{%22id%22:1,%22Name%22:%22Mike%22}
should be this:
http://mywebsite.com?action=somefunction&data={%22id%22:1,%22Name%22:%22Mike%22}
you should do
echo $obj->{'Name'};
