Decoding multi-value JSON - php

Question

I'm trying to create a game API thing that requires this decoded, but I'm not sure how (this is just for a certain user, so the values wont be the same)
[
{
"Id": 382779,
"Name": "DarkAge Ninjas"
},
{
"Id": 377291,
"Name": "Emerald Knights of the Seventh Sanctum"
},
{
"Id": 271454,
"Name": "Knights of RedCliff"
},
{
"Id": 288278,
"Name": "Knights of the Splintered Skies "
},
{
"Id": 375307,
"Name": "Korblox's Empire"
},
{
"Id": 387867,
"Name": "Ne'Kotikoz"
},
{
"Id": 696519,
"Name": "Orinthians"
},
{
"Id": 27770,
"Name": "Retexture Artists Official Channel"
},
{
"Id": 585932,
"Name": "Retexturing Apprentices "
},
{
"Id": 7,
"Name": "Roblox"
},
{
"Id": 679727,
"Name": "ROBLOX Community Staff and Forum Users"
},
{
"Id": 127081,
"Name": "Roblox Wiki"
}
]
How can I decode this in PHP so It has a list like
DarkAge Ninjas
Emerald Knights of the Seventh Sanctum
Knights of RedCliff
etc, and have the Id decoded separately so I can make a clickable link out of it :/

Answer 1

You will need json_decode to turn json into php array
$api_json = '[
{ "Id": 382779, "Name": "DarkAge Ninjas" },
{ "Id": 377291, "Name": "Emerald Knights of the Seventh anctum" }
...
]';
$api_data = json_decode($api_json, true);
//Now you can loop over the array and print the `Name`
foreach($api_data as $d) {
echo $d['Name'];
}
above code will output
DarkAge Ninjas
Emerald Knights of the Seventh Sanctum
Knights of RedCliff
...
To make link with ids just add this in above loop
echo ''. $d['Name'].'';
