I am using the Amazon API to get some XML data, which is then passed through the json_decode() function.
Here are two samples of the data that is returned:
[BrowseNodes] => Array
(
[Request] => Array
(
[IsValid] => True
[BrowseNodeLookupRequest] => Array
(
[BrowseNodeId] => 2645269011
[ResponseGroup] => BrowseNodeInfo
)
)
[BrowseNode] => Array
(
[BrowseNodeId] => 2645269011
[Name] => Featured Categories
[Children] => Array
(
[BrowseNode] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[BrowseNodeId] => 3741261
[Name] => Cooktops
)
[1] => Array
(
[BrowseNodeId] => 3741271
[Name] => Dishwashers
)
[2] => Array
(
[BrowseNodeId] => 3741331
[Name] => Freezers
)
[3] => Array
(
[BrowseNodeId] => 2399939011
[Name] => Ice Makers
)
)
)
and
[BrowseNodes] => Array
(
[Request] => Array
(
[IsValid] => True
[BrowseNodeLookupRequest] => Array
(
[BrowseNodeId] => 3774781
[ResponseGroup] => BrowseNodeInfo
)
)
[BrowseNode] => Array
(
[BrowseNodeId] => 3774781
[Name] => Vitamin D
[Children] => Array
(
[BrowseNode] => Array
(
[BrowseNodeId] => 6936848011
[Name] => D3
)
)
I am then using this code to obtain data for each of the children:
if(isset($result['BrowseNodes']['BrowseNode']['Children'])){
$childs = $result['BrowseNodes']['BrowseNode']['Children']['BrowseNode'];
foreach($childs as $child){
$browsenodeid = $child['BrowseNodeId'];
$name = $child['Name'];
}
}
Everything works fine in the first sample, but in the second one, I am getting the following errors:
Warning: Illegal string offset 'BrowseNodeId'
Warning: Illegal string offset 'Name'
If I echo $browsenodeid and $name in the second example, it gives me 6 and D as the output.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? I am quite confused; to me the data I am looping through in both cases seems to be the same, the only difference being that in the first case, the array has 4 elements and in the second it has 1 element.
Thanks in advance.
The reason I think is that in case 1: the structure is [BrowseNode][0][BrowseNodeId] whereas in case 2 it is : [BrowseNode][BrowseNodeId] that [0] is missing , you can fix it in the data.

I am trying to display the data from Bigcommerce through php when I run the Bigcommerce::getCategories() i getting a array of data like this:
[0] => Bigcommerce\Api\Resources\Category Object
(
[ignoreOnCreate:protected] => Array
(
[0] => id
[1] => parent_category_list
)
[ignoreOnUpdate:protected] => Array
(
[0] => id
[1] => parent_category_list
)
[fields:protected] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 88
[parent_id] => 0
[name] => Dell
[description] =>
[sort_order] => 0
[page_title] =>
[meta_keywords] =>
[meta_description] =>
[layout_file] =>
[parent_category_list] => Array
(
[0] => 88
)
[image_file] =>
[is_visible] => 1
[search_keywords] =>
[url] => /dell/
)
[id:protected] => 88
[ignoreIfZero:protected] => Array
(
)
[fieldMap:protected] => Array
(
)
)
but when I try to pass this to JQuery so that I can display it using this statement: <?php echo json_encode($categories); ?> I am getting an array of empty objects, what is the right way to get the array of objects in Bigcommerce API? Thanks.
From the first line of your code:
[0] => Bigcommerce\Api\Resources\Category Object
You have an object, not an array. Try casting it to an array first:
$array = (array) $yourObject;
I trying to get a array in VB.NET, but I have troubles for deserialize, I don't know if my format is bad or what, but first the data is a std object
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 6797892
[marca] => xxx
[details] => yyy
[price] => rrr
[info] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[Items] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[Por] => 1
[$$hashKey] => 03F
)
)
[Tipo] => mouse
[price] => 1.65
[$$hashKey] => 03D
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[Items] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[Por] => o
[$$hashKey] => 03J
)
)
[Tipo] => teclado
[price] => 1.65
[$$hashKey] => 03H
)
)
[$$hashKey] => 03B
)
)
next i use json_encode(in php):result is:
[{"Id":"6797904","marca":"xxx","Pais":"yyy","Liga":"rrr","Jornada":"3","info":[{"Items":[{"Por":"1","Cuota":"2.25","$$hashKey":"03I"}],"Tipo":"mouse","price":2.25,"$$hashKey":"03G"}],"$$hashKey":"03E"}]
and using
....
file_put_contents($file, print_r($current, true) );
...
I save it in items.txt, and I load it in vb.net, but I don't know what is the correct way to convert into an array using:
Dim str As JArray = JArray.Parse(TextBox1.Text)
Dim results As Object = str("Id").ToString
To put in it an answer format.
The use of print_r is not correct here.
...
file_put_contents($file, print_r($current, true) );
...
The definition for print_r as per php.net:
print_r — Prints human-readable information about a variable.
This means extra characters are added to make it readable to humans, but not for machines. It even creates invalid JSON, causing VB.NET to generate an error.
Update your code to
...
file_put_contents($file,$current);
...
And it should work

I'm looking specifically to try to dig out an email inside the indentities-profile area.
I've tried to do the following:
echo $results->contacts[0]->identity-profiles;
But it just gives me a value of 0
Then I try to go further into the array by doing:
echo $results->contacts[0]->identity-profiles[0];
But at that point - I get a parse error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '['
What am I doing wrong? And how can I dig all the way down to
identity-profiles[0]->identities->[0]->value
which should equal: test#user.com
What am I missing?
As mentioned in the comment I would suggest to decode the JSON to an associative array by passing true as second parameter to json_decode. Example: json_decode($data, true) Than you could access your identity profiles by:
$results['contacts'][0]['identitiy-profiles']
If you still want to get the results as an object you have to access the properties the following way because they contain a -:
$results->contacts[0]->{'identity-profiles'}
Here's my issue:
I have an object filled with arrays that look like this.
[376339] => Array
(
[0] => 1f422730-f54b-4e4d-9289-10258ce74446
[1] => 60dc4646-06ce-44d0-abe9-ee371847f4df
)
I need to search another object to find objects with the matching IDs, like below. Is there a way of doing this without a foreach? There are SEVERAL and I would like to not have to loop over the entire object every time.
stdClass Object
(
[id] => 1f422730-f54b-4e4d-9289-10258ce74446
[percentage] => 32
[destinations] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 59826
[destination_id] => 59826
[type] => Destination
[dequeue] =>
[value] => xxxxxxxxxxx
)
)
)
stdClass Object
(
[id] => 60dc4646-06ce-44d0-abe9-ee371847f4df
[percentage] => 68
[destinations] => Array

[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 60046
[destination_id] => 60046
[type] => Destination
[dequeue] =>
[value] => xxxxxxxxxxxx
)
)
)
I need it to end up looking like this.
[376339] => Array

I'm not sure if this makes any sense, that's why I had my two inital outputs I need to have merged into one somehow. This is all coming from one huge json object and I'm just using json_decode($jsonStuff) to decode it.
Would this be easier if I added true in the decode function? If I could just search for it like I could in python, that would be neat. But as it is, I'm at a loss as to how to get the output I need.
Note: Input json CANNOT be changed, I have no affiliation with the people that created it.
First loop over your input array and create an array with the key as the id
$input = json_decode($json_input);
$output = array();
foreach($input as $obj){
$output[$obj->id] = $obj;
}
then you can build your other array by searching the id on the array key
$massive_search_array = array(376339 => array
(
0 => 1f422730-f54b-4e4d-9289-10258ce74446,
1 => 60dc4646-06ce-44d0-abe9-ee371847f4df
)
);
$final_output = array();
foreach($massive_search_array as $index => $searches){
foreach($searches as $search){
if(isset($output[$search])){
$final_output[$index][] = $output[$search];
}
}
}
I tried to get an answer for this in other posts with no luck, hope someone can help me here, i have a multidimensional array:
Array (
[0] => stdClass Object (
[affectsVersions] => Array ( )
[assignee] => hmontes
[attachmentNames] => Array ( )
[components] => Array ( )
[created] => 2012-08-15T05:31:26.000Z
[customFieldValues] => Array (
[0] => stdClass Object (
[customfieldId] => customfield_10201
[key] => [values] => Array (
[0] => 123456
)
)
[1] => stdClass Object (
[customfieldId] => customfield_10004
[key] => [values] => Array (
[0] => 30
)
)
)
[description] => [duedate] => [environment] => [fixVersions] => Array ( )
[id] => 10228
[key] => NTP-29
[priority] => 3

[summary] => case 123456
[type] => 3
[updated] => 2012-08-15T05:31:26.000Z
[votes] => 0
)
)
this is what i get when i do a print_r with the array variable, i need to search and get the value from [key] that would be in this case NTP-29 and keep it in a variable as string.
You can get the value of an array by the key using $array['keyName'];
But, for you it looks like you just need to go deeper $array[0]['key'];
Both arrays values and properties of objects can be accessed using associative array syntax. To get the value of the key property in your object within the array you'd do the following, assuming $array is a variable containing a reference to your array:
$key = $array[0]['key']; // accesses NTP-29 in this case.
Here's another way to access the same property, using object property-access syntax:
$key = $array[0]->key; // also accesses NTP-29.
