In my php query I got this output:
{"projects":[{"id":127,"name":"efrat","status":{"id":10,"name":"development","label":"development"},"description":"","enabled":true,"view_state":{"id":10,"name":"public","label":"public"},"access_level":{"id":90,"name":"administrator","label":"administrator"},"custom_fields":[{"id":1,"name":"Customer email","type":"email","default_value":"","possible_values":"","valid_regexp":"","length_min":0,"length_max":50,"access_level_r":{"id":10,"name":"viewer","label":"viewer"},"access_level_rw":{"id":10,"name":"viewer","label":"viewer"},"display_report":true,"display_update":true,"display_resolved":true,"display_closed":true,"require_report":false,"require_update":false,"require_resolved":false,"require_closed":false}],"versions":[],"categories":[{"id":93,"name":"Monitor","project":{"id":0,"name":null}},{"id":31,"name":"Proactive","project":{"id":0,"name":null}},{"id":30,"name":"Project","project":{"id":0,"name":null}},{"id":29,"name":"Support","project":{"id":0,"name":null}}]}]}
after using 'json_decode' method on it, I get this:

In my PHP, how can I release the "name" object value (the result should be 'myprojectname') from this array? I've tried many foreach loops that got me nowhere.
Thank you,
It looks like you have one object, that when decoded actually only has one array item. So, in your case, ‘myprojectname’ may simply be “$projects[0][‘name’]”
If many array items, you could
foreach ($projects as $project) {
echo $project[‘name’];
}
EDIT: I took object provided and json_decoded it myself, it doesn't match the json_decoded item presented by OP -- the first image shows the code to var_dump 'name' OP desired, part of the code also below:
$decoded = json_decode($obj);
$projects = $decoded->projects;
$name = $projects[0]->name;
Your 'projects' contains an array ("projects":[{"id":127, ... }]). I assume that the 'projects'-array might contain multiple 'project'-objects like this?
{
"projects":
[
{
"id":127,
"name":"my-project"
},
{
"id":128,
"name":"my-other-project"
}
]
}
In that case you need the arrow notation to access the name property, for example:
foreach ($projects as $project_object) {
foreach ($project_object as $project) {
echo $project->name . '<br/>';
}
}
EDIT:
I took a minimal code example of the OP and got the expected result:
Can you add more details in your code snippets in your original question or provide us with a working example of your code?
There are some online PHP sandboxes that can help you with this. For example: I stripped out all code that does not seem related to your question and got the result you are looking for in two different ways:
http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/009c53671fd9545e4fcecfe4b0328974381ee2ce
It is also a good idea to sum up all the foreach loops that you already tried, so we can see if you were nearly there with your own solution. This way we can understand your question better and it prevents us from offering solutions that you already used.
I have an app using guzzle/php to make requests to a rest service.
When it yields a response, it includes nested arrays and objects:
[exampleBalances] => Array (
[0] => stdClass Object (
[balance] => 6
[name] => Prize One
[prizeCode] => 38
)
[1] => stdClass Object (
[balance] => 5
[name] => Prize Two
[prizeCode] => 20
)
[2] => stdClass Object (
[balance] => 4
[name] => Prize Four
[prizeCode] => 39
)
)
Until now Ive been pulling the value based on the order:
$prizeThree = $response->exampleBalances['3']->balance;
However, the service wont display any 'prizes' if the customer has 0, so the example above would no longer be accurate if a new item was added:
[exampleBalances] => Array (
[0] => stdClass Object (
[balance] => 6
[name] => Prize One
[prizeCode] => 38
)
[1] => stdClass Object (
[balance] => 5
[name] => Prize Two
[prizeCode] => 20
)
[2] => stdClass Object (
[balance] => 8
[name] => Prize Three
[prizeCode] => 54
)
[3] => stdClass Object (
[balance] => 4
[name] => Prize Four
[prizeCode] => 39
)
)
Is there a way to target the correct element, without using the order that it appears in the response?
I could not find any documentation, but its difficult to convey the issue. I was thinking there may be someway to create a condition to check an elements inner values (preferably the 'prize code') Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In PHP 5.5.0 or newer, you can use the array_column() function to do this search:
$index = array_search($prizeCodeSearch, array_column($exampleBalances, 'prizeCode'));
$element = $exampleBalances[$index];
I need to create a db function for multidimensional array. How deep the array currently dont know, bcoz they will come from xml file.

I need to enter these type of array to db and then retrieve them in a good non programmer readable format
I created 2 table... 1st for array key with array level field and another for key=value
I tried this
function array_Dump($array, $d=1){
if (is_array($array)){
foreach($array as $key=>$val){
for ($i=0;$i<$d;$i++){
$level=$i;
}
if (is_array($val)){
if (is_int($key)){
array_Dump($val, $d+1);
}else{
$query = "insert into xml_array (level, input) VALUES ('$level','$key')";
insert_sql($query);
array_Dump($val, $d+1);
}
} else {
$query = "insert into xml_data (array_id,level_id, array_key,array_value) VALUES ('$insert_id','$level','$key','$val')";
insert_sql($query);
}
}
}
}
Create a table like this:
attributes(id, parent_id, properties)
where id will be the primary key, parent_id will be the id of the parent record and properties will be a small json field with the atomic properties. This way you support any depth the XML may throw towards your direction.
As about non-programmer representation. For instance you could use a table (you can solve that with divs as well) which will contain a row for each element in the top level array. Such a row would contain separate columns for each property. When a property is an array, then the given cell will be a table of its own, which will be handled similarly as the first table. It is advisable to make the inner tables collapsible, so if one wants to see the main levels only, the user will not have to scroll for a long while.
The best way for me to explain this is to show you. Seems like a float() error in a 64bit system.
when i call /anotherfeed/feed or any page for that matter, posts with story_tags return some of the id's as a float error.
sample story tag with float error in id. [id] => 1.7153566624E+14
My question is, how do i fix this, or what am i doing wrong? all i am doing is looping in a foreach statement.
if($fvalue[story_tags]){
echo 'Tags: ';
$sTags=$fvalue[story_tags];
foreach ($sTags as $skey=>$svalue){
foreach ($svalue as $gkey=>$hvalue){
$id=$hvalue[id];
echo ''.$hvalue[name].' '.$id.' ';
}
}
}

solution:
cURL - had to use number format with PHP_EOL to solve in cURL.
// $locs = curl call to graph api for /anotherfeed/feed, still need solution for foreach.
$locs=json_decode($returned, true);
$stId=number_format($locs[data][1][story_tags][0][0][id], 0, '', '').PHP_EOL;
echo $stId;
PHP-SDK
solution is same, long numbers in the foreach loop need to be ran through number_format.
I have a PHP array containing movie descriptions ($descriptions) and another PHP array containing showtimes and ticket quantities ($stock) for those movies. For each unique movie ID in $descripctions, I need to get all of the showtimes and tickets from $stock.
Is there no built-in PHP function that will search for the unique ID and return the chain of keys needed to access that value? I can't find an elegant solution after a full day of Googling and reviewing every array function in the PHP manual twice.
If there's no more elegant solution, is my best approach a custom recursive function? If so, any guidance on best approach / control structure? Maybe counting array elements and using several levels of while loops to go through each level of the array?
Here's the beginning of the $stock array I'm trying to get the data from -- won't post the entire print_r() because the source array is over 67,000 lines long but this much should indicate the structure I'm working with.
Thank you very much!!!
