I have the following PHP code (I'll post the important part of it):
// objID
$objects->objID = generateRandomID();
$objects->pointer = array('type'=>'__pointer','objID'=>'dgFg45dG','className'=>'Users');
$jsonStr = file_get_contents($className.'.json'); // This calls a Users.json file stored in my server
$jsonObjs = json_decode($jsonStr, true);
...
$jsonStr = file_get_contents($className.'.json'); // This calls a Users.json file stored in my server
$jsonObjs = json_decode($jsonStr, true);
array_push($jsonObjs, $objects);
// Encode the array back into a JSON string and save it.
$jsonData = json_encode($jsonObjs);
file_put_contents($className.'.json', $jsonData);
// echo JSON data
echo $jsonData;
// ISSUE HERE :(
$jsonStr = file_get_contents($className.'.json');
// Decode the JSON string into a PHP array.
$jsonObjs = json_decode($jsonStr, true);
foreach($jsonObjs as $i=>$obj) {
print_r('<br><br>'.$i.'-- ');
echo
$obj['objID'].', <br>'
.$obj['pointer']["$i"]['objID']. ', '
.$obj['pointer']["$i"]['type']. ', '
.$obj['pointer']["$i"]['className']. '<br><br>'
;
}
// ./ ISSUE
The code above creates a new JSON object into my own Users.json file.
So, when I call this PHP file with a URL string in my browser, just as a test, and I refresh the page a few times, I get the following echo:
0-- VUDjCZX8QX, , ,
1-- 1uWH17OoJP, , ,
[{"objID":"VUDjCZX8QX","pointer":{"type":"__pointer","objID":"dgFg45dG","className":"Users"},"string":"mark","createdOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:49","updatedOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:49","number":111,"boolean":true,"array":["john","sarah"]},{"objID":"1uWH17OoJP","pointer":{"type":"__pointer","objID":"dgFg45dG","className":"Users"},"string":"mark","createdOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:51","updatedOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:51","number":111,"boolean":true,"array":["john","sarah"]},{"objID":"RkubyQPvqR","pointer":{"type":"__pointer","objID":"dgFg45dG","className":"Users"},"string":"mark","createdOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:54","updatedOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:54","number":111,"boolean":true,"array":["john","sarah"]}]
So, what I need to fix is basically the following:
What's the right code to properly get the list of items of the
"pointer" object that's inside each object of my Users.json file?
I try to track the index of my foreach loop, but it doesn't work properly as you can see by the echo posted above when I first execute my PHP code, I get the JSON string of my 1st object, I don't get any print_r(). Then, when I refresh the page a 2nd time, I get the print of the objID string of my 1st object, and again, if I refresh the page a 3rd time, I get the objID of my 2nd object, while there are 3 objects stored in my json file. And so on, in other words, I never get the first object's print info.
What am I doing wrong?
You are passing $i as a string, not as a variable. Use double quotes (") or remove single quotes (') to pass as a variable. This will solve your issue, pointer objects not printing properly.
$obj['pointer'][$i]['objID']
Update
[{"objID":"VUDjCZX8QX","pointer":{"type":"__pointer","objID":"dgFg45dG","className":"Users"},"string":"mark","createdOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:49","updatedOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:49","number":111,"boolean":true,"array":["john","sarah"]},{"objID":"1uWH17OoJP","pointer":{"type":"__pointer","objID":"dgFg45dG","className":"Users"},"string":"mark","createdOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:51","updatedOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:51","number":111,"boolean":true,"array":["john","sarah"]},{"objID":"RkubyQPvqR","pointer":{"type":"__pointer","objID":"dgFg45dG","className":"Users"},"string":"mark","createdOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:54","updatedOn":"2018-09-17 05:36:54","number":111,"boolean":true,"array":["john","sarah"]}]
According to above JSON string, you don't need specify $i.
$obj['pointer']['objID'] should work, since it is associate array.
Thanks to #saumini-navaratnam, I have to use the following foreach:
foreach($jsonObjs as $i=>$obj) {
print_r('<br><br>'.$i.'-- ');
echo
$obj['objID'].', '
.$obj['pointer']['objID']. ', '
.$obj['pointer']['type']. ', '
.$obj['pointer']['className']. '<br><br>'
;
}
In this way, I can properly get the objects of this object:
{"pointer":{"type":"__pointer","objID":"dgFg45dG","className":"Users"}
In fact, here's the echo I get:
[
{"objID":"pkO8NesS5S","pointer":{"type":"__pointer","objID":"dgFg45dG","className":"Users"},"string":"bobby","createdOn":"2018-09-17 07:03:27","updatedOn":"2018-09-17 07:03:27","number":111,"boolean":true,"array":["john","sarah"]},
{"objID":"rdwJl20krC","pointer":{"type":"__pointer","objID":"dgFg45dG","className":"Users"},"string":"bobby","createdOn":"2018-09-17 07:03:31","updatedOn":"2018-09-17 07:03:31","number":111,"boolean":true,"array":["john","sarah"]},
{"objID":"3WspzmuwMK","pointer":{"type":"__pointer","objID":"dgFg45dG","className":"Users"},"string":"bobby","createdOn":"2018-09-17 07:07:39","updatedOn":"2018-09-17 07:07:39","number":111,"boolean":true,"array":["john","sarah"]}
]
0-- pkO8NesS5S, dgFg45dG, __pointer, Users
1-- rdwJl20krC, dgFg45dG, __pointer, Users
2-- 3WspzmuwMK, dgFg45dG, __pointer, Users
So I got a HTML page with a button. When I click the button, a separate javascript file sends a GET request to my PHP file, expecting a JSON object in return. My PHP reads a JSON formatted text file and should convert it into a JSONObject and echo it out for my javascipt. I had some code working before, but it doesn't seem to do it anymore since I changed to a Ajax aproach instead of having everything in the same file. This is my code:
readLog.php
<?php
class test{
function clean($string){
return json_decode(rtrim(trim($string),','),true);
}
function getLog(){
header('Content-Type: application/json');
$logLines = file('../../../home/shares/flower_hum/humid.log');
$entries = array_map("clean",$logLines);
$finalOutput = ['log' => $entries];
echo json_encode($logLines);
}
}
?>
My humid.log file looks like this:
{"date":"26/09/2016", "time":"22:40:46","temp":"16.0", "humidity":"71.0" }
{"date":"26/09/2016", "time":"23:10:47","temp":"16.0", "humidity":"71.0" }
Now If I press my button, this is the response I get checking the console in my web browser:
Response:
["{\"date\":\"26\/09\/2016\", \"time\":\"22:40:46\",\"temp\":\"16.0\", \"humidity\":\"71.0\" }{\"date\":\"26\/09\/2016\", \"time\":\"23:10:47\",\"temp\":\"16.0\", \"humidity\":\"71.0\" }\n"]
JSON:
"{"date":"26/09/2016", "time":"22:40:46","temp":"16.0", "humidity":"71.0" }{"date":"26/09/2016", "time":"23:10:47","temp":"16.0", "humidity":"71.0" }\n"
obviously something is wrong with the formatting, but I don't know what. As I said, this code worked just fine when I had my php and HTML in the same file.
EDIT:
I have also tried formatting the JSON with something like this, but it just prints the brackets:
function getLog(){
$text = file('../../../home/shares/flower_hum/humid.log');
$textRemoved ="["; //Add opening bracket.
$textRemoved .= substr($text, 0, strlen($text)-1); (Remove last comma)
$textRemoved .="]";//Add closing bracket
$json = json_encode($textRemoved);
echo $json;
}
So I managed to solve it myself. Basicly The formatting of the textfile was wrong and as some commentors said, I don't need to encode it if I am doing it myself. What I ended up doing was in my application that generates the log file to add comma after each row. Then in my PHP I added brackets and removed the last comma.
function getLog(){
header('Content-Type: application/json');
$file = file_get_contents('../../../home/shares/flower_hum/humid.log');
$lengthOfFile = strlen($file)-2;
$subFile = substr($file, 0, $lengthOfFile);
$res ="[";
$res .= $subFile;
$res .="]";
echo $res;
}
You can't just jam two+ JSON strings togther. It's JSON, which means it HAS to be syntactically correct Javascript CODE. If you want to join two json strings together, you HAVE to decode them to a native data structure, join those structures together, then re-encode the new merged structure:
$temp1 = json_decode('{"foo":"bar"}', true);
$temp2 = json_decode('{"baz":"qux"}', true);
$new = array_merge($temp1, $temp2);
echo json_encode($new);
which will produce:
{"foo":"bar","baz":"qux"}
and remain valid JSON/Javascript.
Why? Consider that bare integers are valid json:
json_encode(42) -> 42
json_encode(123) -> 123
If you have two json-encoded integers and jam together, you get a "new" integer:
42123
and on the receiving end, you'll be going "Ok, so where is the split between the two", because 4 and 2123 are just as valid as possible original values as 4212 and 3.
Sending the two integers as distinct and SEPARATABLE values would require an array:
[42,123]
I'm trying to create a very simple php script that can pull data from a JSON file (array?) and echo it to the page. Sadly, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to PHP.
My goal is to dump all IP addresses and the corresponding client version into an output like this...
"127.0.0.1" "/Satoshi:0.9.1/"
"127.0.0.2" "/Satoshi:0.9.0/"
"127.0.0.3" "/Satoshi:0.9.0/"
"127.0.0.4" "/Satoshi:0.9.1/"
I can get the code to dump all data, but I'm not sure how to pull the ip and version without the ip and client version being named.. If that even makes sense?
Here is the code. What do I need to make it dump the correct data?
<?php
$url = 'https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/1407675714.json';
$JSON = file_get_contents($url);
echo $JSON;
$data = json_decode($JSON);
var_dump($data);
?>
Thanks for your help!
Something like
<?php
$url = 'https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/1407675714.json';
$JSON = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($JSON);
$data = (array)$data; // cast from stdClass to array, as results have int keys
foreach($data['nodes'] as $results){
echo $results[0]. " ". $results[3]."<br />";
}
?>
It doesn't makes much sense to convert an array of hashes into the one of some non-named entities. I guess that all you need is to dump it in the following way:
foreach($data as $t)
{
echo("ip=".$t->ip." ua=".$t->ua);
}
I don't think there is any reason to cast to an array. Just process the returned object. This one has the double quotes as requested as well.
<?php
$url = 'https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/1407675714.json';
$json = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($json);
foreach($data->nodes as $results){
echo "\"".$results[0]."\" \"".$results[3]."\"<br />";
}
?>
http://www.instamapper.com/api?action=getPositions&key=584014439054448247&num=10&format=json
is the url, which contains json data. I want to use that data and send SMS to a particular phone no if value of latitude and longitude(Extracted from JSON).
Check constraints, we can use through php. But the main problem is How to extract data from JSON file?
I don't want to give you the solution, so the below should be enough to get you started.
Read in the JSON data using file_get_contents
Parse the JSON string into a PHP object using json_decode
Your code should look something like this:
$url = "http://www.instamapper.com/api?action=getPositions&key=584014439054448247&num=10&format=json";
$contents = file_get_contents($url);
$jsonObj = json_decode($contents);
You mean something like this?
<?php
$jsonurl = "http://search.twitter.com/trends.json";
$json = file_get_contents($jsonurl,0,null,null);
$json_output = json_decode($json);
foreach ( $json_output->trends as $trend )
{
echo "{$trend->name}\n";
}
How to transfer json data to html with php?
$url="http://api.nytimes.com/svc/search/v1/article?format=json&query=usa&rank=newest&api-key=mykey"
when I type the url in browser, it return
{"offset" : "0" , "results" : [{"body" : "A guide to cultural and recreational goings-on in and around the Hudson Valley. ...}]}
how to put the json body data into html? I mean like this echo '<div class="body"></div>';
You first need to get the file. You should use curl for this. In the example below I used the file_get_contents() function, you might want to replace it. Use json_decode() to parse the JSON for you.
$json = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($json);
echo $data->results[0]->body;
This will echo A guide to cultural....
Use json_decode() on the content of the file, which you can retrieve with file_get_contents($url), then you have an array you can use to build the HTML.
$url="http://api.nytimes.com/svc/search/v1/article?format=json&query=usa&rank=newest&api-key=mykey";
$dataRaw = file_get_contents($url);
if ($dataRaw) {
$data = json_decode($dataRaw, true);
foreach ($data['results'] as $cEntry) {
?>
<div class="body">
<?php echo $cEntry['body']; ?>
</div>
<?php
}
}
I'm not sure why you would, but assuming fopen() URL opening is enabled, you could do...
echo file_get_contents($url);
like this ?
<?php
$url="http://api.nytimes.com/svc/search/v1/article?format=json&query=usa&rank=newest&api-key=mykey";
$json = file_get_contents($url);
echo $json;
Once you've loaded a JSON string into PHP, you can then convert it into a PHP array by using the function json_decode(). You can then print the appropriate array element into your HTML output as with any other PHP variable.
Try this:
$jsonDecoded = json_decode($yourJsonEncodedData);
echo $jsonDecoded->results->body;
