I am trying to develop rest full webservice using slim frame work.
There is a registration api to which my input data is
{"firstname":"Rakhi",
"lastname":"Krishnan",
"language":{
"english":["read","write"],
"arabic":["read","speak"],
"hindi":[]
},
"membership":{
"involvement _level":["Atendant Only"]
}
}
I have parsed the input data using
$json = $request->getBody();
$data = json_decode($json, true);
But when I tried to access it gives me
$data['membership']['involvement _level']=array[][];
$data['membership']['involvement _level'][0]="Atendant Only" [][];
I don't know what is wrong in my code.Can any one please help me?

Output when success
string(66)
"{"status":true,"message":"success","data":{"amountDue":"-504.20"}}"
Output when error
string(119) "{"status":false,"message":"An error occured while getting
full subscriber profile: Subscription not found MPP servers"}"
How should I write in php to get the amount due from the output? I am new to REST api. Can someone show me ? Thank you
That is a JSON-encoded response. Use json_decode() to convert the string back into an array, and then access the array element:
$output = '{"status":true,"message":"success","data":{"amountDue":"-504.20"}}';
$results = json_decode($output,true);
if($results["status"])
{
echo "Success! Data: " . print_r($results,true);
}
I assume that you can at least send proper request to the endpoint and you are able to capture the response.
You receive a json string which must be parses so if:
$response = '{"status":true,"message":"success","data":{"amountDue":"-504.20"}}';
$responseArray = json_decode($response, true);
Then you will get a responseArray as associated array (the second parameter) so you can get amount due like that
$amountDue = $responseArray['data']['amountDue'];
You could also parse json data into an StdClass which turn all fields in json into an object's property. To do that abandon the second parameter in json_decode function
$resultObj = json_decode($response);
$amountDue = $resultObj->data['amountDue'];
All depends on your requests.

Below is the code that I am currently using in which I pass an address to the function and the Nominatim API should return a JSON from which I could retrieve the latitude and longitude of the address from.
function geocode($address){
// url encode the address
$address = urlencode($address);
$url = 'http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/?format=json&addressdetails=1&q={$address}&format=json&limit=1';
// get the json response
$resp_json = file_get_contents($url);
// decode the json
$resp = json_decode($resp_json, true);
// get the important data
$lati = $resp['lat'];
$longi = $resp['lon'];
// put the data in the array
$data_arr = array();
array_push(
$data_arr,
$lati,
$longi
);
return $data_arr;
}
The problem with it is that I always end up with an Internal Server Error. I have checked the Logs and this constantly gets repeated:
[[DATE] America/New_York] PHP Notice: Undefined index: title in [...php] on line [...]
[[DATE] America/New_York] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: area in [...php] on line [...]
What could be the issue here? Is it because of the _ in New_York? I have tried using str_replace to swap that with a + but that doesn't seem to work and the same error is still returned.
Also, the URL works fine since I have tested it out through JavaScript and manually (though {$address} was replaced with an actual address).
Would really appreciate any help with this, thank you!
Edit
This has now been fixed. The problem seems to be with Nominatim not being able to pickup certain values and so returns an error as a result
The errors you have mentioned don't appear to relate to the code you posted given the variables title and area are not present. I can provide some help for the geocode function you posted.
The main issue is that there are single quotes around the $url string - this means that $address is not injected into the string and the requests is for the lat/long of "$address". Using double quotes resolves this issue:
$url = "http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/?format=json&addressdetails=1&q={$address}&format=json&limit=1";
Secondly, the response contains an array of arrays (if were not for the limit parameter more than one result might be expected). So when fetch the details out of the response, look in $resp[0] rather than just $resp.
// get the important data
$lati = $resp[0]['lat'];
$longi = $resp[0]['lon'];
In full, with some abbreviation of the array building at the end for simplicity:
function geocode($address){
// url encode the address
$address = urlencode($address);
$url = "http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/?format=json&addressdetails=1&q={$address}&format=json&limit=1";
// get the json response
$resp_json = file_get_contents($url);
// decode the json
$resp = json_decode($resp_json, true);
return array($resp[0]['lat'], $resp[0]['lon']);
}
Once you are happy it works, I'd recommend adding in some error handling for both the http request and decoding/returning of the response.
I'm getting this kind of response from instagram server.
{
"meta": {
"code": 200
},
"data": {
...
},
"pagination": {
"next_url": "...",
"next_max_id": "13872296"
}
}
How do I get the "data" - part? I've tried to json decoding in PHP like:
//$userfeed is giving me something like above.
$tried_this = json_decode($userfeed['meta']);
but $userfeed and $tried_this seems to be the same.
UPDATE
Down below is the REAL data...
I've left out the access token, but otherwise it's correct. This is just a part of it, but I hope you get the picture....

Forgive me for not giving you a "readable" var_dump, but for some reason the var_dump on a specific server I'm trying on doesn't make it readable as expected.
$data = json_decode($userfeed, true);
var_dump($data['data']);
is returning NULL
Assuming, a valid JSON string, you would do:
$data = json_decode($json_string, true);
var_dump($data['data']);
Lets assume that you have provided access_token, than following syntax will meet your requirements
$url = "https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/3/media/recent/?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN";
$content = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($content, true);
var_dump($data['data']);
I'm trying to connect with the instagram API, the connection works fine and I am receiving the updates just as described in the API documentation, the issue is that I cannot access to the data send to my callback function.
According to the doc
When someone posts a new photo and it triggers an update of one of your subscriptions, we make a POST request to the callback URL that you defined in the subscription
This is my code :
// check if we have a security challenge
if (isset ($_GET['hub_challenge']))
echo $_GET['hub_challenge'];
else // This is an update
{
// read the content of $_POST
$myString = file_get_contents('php://input');
$answer = json_decode($myString);
// This is not working starting from here
$id = $answer->{'object_id'};
$api = 'https://api.instagram.com/v1/locations/'.$id.'/media/recent?client_secret='.INSTA_CLI_SECRET.'&client_id='.INSTA_CLI_ID;
$response = get_curl($api); //change request path to pull different photos
$images = array();
if($response){
$decode = json_decode($response);
foreach($decode->{'data'} as $item){
// do something with the data here
}
}
}
Displaying the $myString variable I have this result, don't know why it is not decoded to json :(
[{"changed_aspect": "media", "subscription_id": 2468174, "object":
"geography", "object_id": "1518250", "time": 1350044500}]
the get_curl function is working fine when I hardcode my $id.
I guess something is wrong with my $myString, unfortunately the $_POST cvariable is not populated, Any idea what I am missing ?
Looking at the example JSON response included in your question, I can conclude that the object you are trying to talk with is wrapped in an array (hence the [ and ] around it in the JSON string).
You should access it using $answers[0]->object_id.
If that doesn't work, you can always use var_dump to check out the data in one of your variables.
I am trying to print the first tweet in the user timeline.
$hometimeline = $twitterObj->get_statusesHome_timeline();
$stream=$hometimeline->responseText;
$user=$stream[0]->user;
$tweet=$user->text;
echo $tweet;
This just won't print anything. What am I doing wrong here?
If I echo $hometimeline->responseText it shows on the screen
[
{"in_reply_to_status_id_str":null, "coordinates":null, "geo":null, "user":{"profile_use_background_image":true,"text":"I am back",....},"id_str":"121212"},
{ ... so on}
]
you are getting a json string as response. Use json_decode to parse the response and you will be able to manage it as array o stdobject
do this just before interact with the response
$stream = json_decode( $hometimeline->responseText, true);
Edit
remember you can always use print_r to debug
Try this instead:
$hometimeline = $twitterObj->get_statusesHome_timeline();
$stream = json_decode( $hometimeline->responseText );
$user=$stream[0]->user;
$tweet=$user->text;
echo $tweet;
json_decode turns the JSON string that you are receiving into a PHP object.
