I have a simple answer I just can't solution to:
var_dump(obj) =
object(stdClass)#15 (3) {
["properties"]=>
object(stdClass)#14 (2) {
["user_name"]=>
string(4) "somename"
["email_address"]=>
string(12) "test#test.com"
["arrays"]=>
object(stdClass)#17 (1) {
["sites[]"]=>
object(stdClass)#18 (4) {
["0"]=>
int(1)
["1"]=>
int(1)
["2"]=>
int(0)
["3"]=>
int(0)
}
}
}
How to call the 'sites[]' object in my 'obj'?
I tried the following:
obj->sites[]
obj->{'sites[]'}
Both options aren't working...
It might be better to clean up the code that generates that object, but you should be able to access the sites[] object via:
$sites = $obj->arrays->{'sites[]'};
However $sites will still be an object, so you would need to access its elements in a similarly awkward way:
echo $sites->{'0'};
It would be better to cast it to an array at that point:
$sites = (array) $obj->arrays->{'sites[]'};
Then you can access as an array:
echo $sites[0];
EDIT, seams you cannot access array elements indexed by a numerical string.
A better option (as discovered by a SO question i just posted about this) would be to use get_object_vars:
$sites = get_object_vars($obj->arrays->{'sites[]'});
Then you can access as an array:
echo $sites[0];

I'm sending this JSON:
[{"tipo":""},{"activo":""},{"titulo":"Servicoasd B"},{"texto":"asdasdasd"}]
to a php file via post method.
There, i do
$obj = json_decode($_POST['sentJson']);
However, I seem to be unable to access the elements of the JSON.
var_dump(($obj));
Shows the object:
array(4) {
[0]=>
object(stdClass)#2 (1) {
["tipo"]=>
string(0) ""
}
[1]=>
object(stdClass)#3 (1) {
["activo"]=>
string(0) ""
}
[2]=>
object(stdClass)#4 (1) {
["titulo"]=>
string(9) "Servico B"
}
[3]=>
object(stdClass)#5 (1) {
["texto"]=>
string(6) "asdasd"
}
}
But if I try
$obj['texto'];
$obj->{'texto'};
$obj[0]['texto'];
$obj[0];
It shows "undefined index texto" or "trying to get property of non object in" and the last one "Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in". I'm very new to PHP, but still I can't seem to notice what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Your JSON is a serialized array of four completely different objects, so when you run json_decode, that's what you get: an array.
If you want to access your objects inside that array, access them like you would any other indexed array:
$list = json_decode(...);
foreach($list as $obj) {
var_dump($obj)
}
Or target them explicitly using plain old numerical access.
$list = json_decode(...);
$last = $list[3];
$text = $last->texto;
But really the question you should be asking is why this is the JSON you get. An array with completely different objects at each position is terrible data, and should be fixed.
I have finally managed to retrive data from mongoDB within PHP. How ever I am not able to retrieve single elements from this array looking. I can only vardump() the cursor. How is it possible to print single elements from this array that seems to be made up of objects?
object(stdClass)#11 (7) { ["_id"]=> object(MongoDB\BSON\ObjectID)#9 (1) { ["oid"]=> string(24) "5a4a2cf55ff0f310cbf1c3a4" } ["Category"]=> string(9) "Allgemein" ["DateAdded"]=> object(MongoDB\BSON\UTCDateTime)#10 (1) { ["milliseconds"]=> string(13) "1514810613331" } ["Name"]=> string(4) "Welt" ["Website"]=> string(11) "www.welt.de" ["Active"]=> bool(true) ["Country"]=> string(2) "DE" }
I couldnt find anything on goolgle or PHP/mongodb documentation. Why cant I just do $array["_id"]? And how can I retrieve _id for example?
The resource is an object of stdClass. So you need to use:
echo $array->_id;
In case, if you want to use arrays, use get_object_vars() function. That way:
$array = get_object_vars($array);
echo $array["_id"];
And then you can use objects as arrays.
I have an array with the following contents:
$tester
array(1) {
[0]=>
object(CategoryItem)#79 (17) {
["type"]=>
string(0) ""
["addedInVersion"]=>
string(4) "0.02"
["lastUpdatedInVersion"]=>
string(4) "0.02"
["AToZ"]=>
bool(false)
["name"]=>
string(22) "Page Name"
["scopeNotes"]=>
string(0) ""
["historyNotes"]=>
string(13) "Added in 0.02"
["broaderItems"]=>
array(0) {
}
I want to echo out the name, if this case Page Name and then use this in an if statement.
I have but this errors, I also tried $tester->CategoryItem->name but no joy.
Is there anything obvious I am missing?
You need to access it like this:
$name = $tester[0]->name;
echo $name;
you have some leaks in your php OOP understanding, you should fix them by following some tutorials like these ones:
http://www.killerphp.com/tutorials/object-oriented-php/
http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/object-oriented-php-for-beginners--net-12762
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/php/php_object_oriented.htm
Now to answer your question, your code should be this:
$the_name = $tester[0]->name;
if($the_name == 'whatever value you want') {
echo $the_name;
}
first of all, your initial variable is a array, therefor, $tester[0], then, this position is an object of the class CategoryItem so you use scope: $tester[0]->value
As for the last of your values in the class properties, broaderItems, this is again an array, so to access one of his values, you will have to call it like:
$tester[0]->broaderItems[0]; //or whatever the keys you will have here
Hope this helps!
:D
I have been trying to figure this out for a while now. Please any advice would be appreciated. I just need to access the array for ["Item"]. How do I gain access to this?
array(1) {
[0]=>
object(SimpleXMLElement)#16 (2) {
["#attributes"]=>
array(2) {
["Name"]=>
string(10) "AuthorList"
["Type"]=>
string(4) "List"
}
["Item"]=>
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(9) "Smith, Joe"
[1]=>
string(10) "Peter, Ann"
[2]=>
string(18) "Magoo, Mr"
}
}
}
Assuming this structure is in a variable called var1, you should be able to access Item using:
$var1[0]->Item // returns the array
I try to explain it.
Like you see, your first array index is an object.
If you see something like this in your var_dump than you can access it through deferencing the object.
It's the same like you would create an object and would like to access a public variable:
$var1 = new Object();
// when your Object variables are public so you could access them by deference the Object
echo $var1->myVariable; // will echo the public variable "myVariable"
So the answer from adam is the right one :)
How do I prase this?
$scope = $facebook->api('/me/permissions','GET');
The result is as follows and I want to get the value of installed:
array(1) { ["data"]=> array(1) { [0]=> array(5) { ["installed"]=> int(1) ["offline_access"]=> int(1) ["email"]=> int(1) ["manage_pages"]=> int(1) ["user_about_me"]=> int(1) } } }
I've tried json_decode($scope, true), $scope['installed'], $scope['data']['installed'] etc. What am I missing?
That is a super nested array - Your $scope['data']['installed'] was close. However, you forgot one layer. It should be $scope['data'][0]['installed']. Note the 0 in there - there is a third level.
Accessing any of the scope will start with $scope['data'][0], so I would assign that to a new var to remove those two layers.
$scope = $scope['data'][0]
Then, all you need is the key for the permission
Try $scope['data'][0]['installed']
