How to get json array and insert in the database. php - php

Question

I have a table on an Invitation. I am passing the data in json format from postman.
I want to send many invitations at a time. So I want to insert multiple invitations.
How can I do this?
I have created a single invitation.
Invitaion :
class Invitation
{
private $sender_id,$date,$invitee_no,$status;
function Invitation($sender_id,$date,$invitee_no,$status)
{
$this->sender_id = $sender_id;
$this->date= $date;
$this->invitee_no = $invitee_no;
$this->status = $status;
}
function sendInvite()
{
$database = new Database(ContactsConstants::DBHOST,ContactsConstants::DBUSER,ContactsConstants::DBPASS,ContactsConstants::DBNAME);
$dbConnection = $database->getDB();
$stmt = $dbConnection->prepare("select * from Invitation where invitee_no =?");
$stmt->execute(array($this->invitee_no));
$rows = $stmt->rowCount();
if($rows > 0)
{
$response = array("status"=>-3,"message"=>"Invitation exists.");
return $response;
}
$stmt = $dbConnection->prepare("insert into Invitation(date,invitee_no,status) values(?,?,?)");
$stmt->execute(array($this->date, $this->invitee_no, $this->status));
$rows = $stmt->rowCount();
$Id = $dbConnection->lastInsertId();
$stmt = $dbConnection->prepare("select * from Invitation where sender_id=?");
$stmt->execute(array($Id));
$invitation = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if ($rows < 1) {
$response = array("status" => -1, "message" => "Failed to send Invitation., unknown reason");
return $response;
} else {
$response = array("status" => 1, "message" => "Invitation sent.", "Invitation:" => $invitation);
return $response;
}
}
}
sendInvite.php
<?php
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
require 'Invitation.php';
$jsonText = file_get_contents('php://input');
if(empty($jsonText))
{
$response = array("status"=>-2,"message"=>"Empty request");
die(json_encode($response));
}
$json = json_decode($jsonText);
$date= $json -> date;
$invitee_no = $json -> invitee_no;
$status = $json -> status;
$invitation = new Invitation("",$date,$invitee_no,$status);
$response = $invitation->sendInvite();
echo(json_encode($response));
?>
Input from postman:
{
"date" : "12/08/2016",
"invitee_no" : "5258",
"status" : "1"
}
Output:
{
"status": 1,
"message": "Invitation sent.",
"Invitation:": [
{
"sender_id": "29",
"date": "12/08/2016",
"invitee_no": "5259",
"status": "1"
}
]
}
EDIT:
In Send Invite() function:
if ($rows < 1) {
$response = array("status" => -1, "message" => "Failed to send Invitation., unknown reason");
echo(json_encode($response));
} else {
$response = array("status" => 1, "message" => "Invitation sent.", "Invitation:" => $invitation);
echo(json_encode($response));
}
In senInvite.php file :
foreach ($json as $jsn) {
foreach($jsn as $j)
{
$date= $j -> date;
$invitee_no = $j -> invitee_no;
$status = $j -> status;
$invitation = new Invitation("",$date,$invitee_no,$status);
$response = $invitation->sendInvite();
var_dump($response);
die();
echo(json_encode($response));
}
}
var dump:
{"status":-3,"message":"Invitation exists.","invitee_no":"5856"}array(3) {
["status"]=>
int(-3)
["message"]=>
string(18) "Invitation exists."
["invitee_no"]=>
string(4) "5856"
}
Gives syntax error: unexpeted 'S'
I want to accept this as json array and insert into the table all the records.
Can anyone help please? Thank you..

<?php
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
require 'Invitation.php';
$jsonText = file_get_contents('php://input');
if(empty($jsonText))
{
$response = array("status"=>-2,"message"=>"Empty request");
die(json_encode($response));
}
$response = array();
$json = json_decode($jsonText);
foreach ($json as $jsn) {
foreach($jsn as $j)
{
$date= $j -> date;
$invitee_no = $j -> invitee_no;
$status = $j -> status;
$invitation = new Invitation("",$date,$invitee_no,$status);
$response[] = $invitation->sendInvite();
}
}
echo(json_encode($response));
?>
I have used foreach for array.
