I know to get the "Bio" from my array, however this is pretty much out there onthe internet how to get the first level information from the Facebook API Array passed on;
$FB_About_Bio = $graph->getProperty('bio');
However when it comes to calling for "movies";
$FB_About_Movies = $graph->getProperty('movies');
This produces an array of itself I believe of which I do not know how to do a loop to list all the movie titles for example
How would I get all the movie names?

Update
user9418 asked on Stackoverflow "How to parse a facebook graph api response" and bhushya answer has given somewhat of an insight to how it should be done. Below is my latest progress whereas previously I was getting no data whatsoever;
New Snippet;
$user_profile = (new FacebookRequest(
$sess, 'GET', '/me/movies'
))->execute()->getGraphObject();
$movies = $user_profile->getProperty('data');
$movies_data = $movies->asArray();//this will do all job for you..
foreach($movies_data as $row){
var_dump($row);
}

My full code now being the same with this implemented above my echoing to the page. I just need to learn now how to loop through and list only the name of each movie wrapping each one in a tag!

Option 1: Convert the graph object to an array using the asArray() method and parse as a normal array.
$graphArray = $graph->asArray();
$movies = $graphArray['movies']['data'];
foreach ($movies as $movie) {
$name = $movie['name'];
}
Option 2: get the data property and loop through that array, then get the genre, name, and id properties using the getProperty method.
$movies = $graph->getProperty('movies');
foreach ($movies as $movie) {
$name = $movie->getProperty('name');
}

Resolved Snippet
$FB_User_Interests_Movies = (new FacebookRequest(
$sess, 'GET', '/me/movies'
))->execute()->getGraphObject()->asArray();
foreach($FB_User_Interests_Movies['data'] as $key) {
echo $key->name.'<br />';
}
How I resolved
Many things are in the Facebook Graph API alike this so I expanded research to ask how to get user friends and whatnot. This lead me to a YouTube video titled "Facebook PHP SDK v4: Get List of Pages Liked by User | Part 10" which was enough to explain how to achieve my question!

Tricky PHP Array

I used stripe to return a Customer Object. I want to extract the bank account ID and save it in a database for later use. What is the proper syntax to access the array properly?
Here is what I have tried:
$bank_account=$customer->lastResponse['json']['sources']['data'][0]['id'];
I was told to try:
$bank_account=$customer->bank_accounts->data[0]['id'];
But that came up null as well...
Im not sure how to work with the object or what the right way to do this is.
I need the bank_account_id
This is what the var_dump($customer) looks like after some formatting and removing information that is not pertinent. I think I can either use a JSON decode or access the array called 'json' i dont know the proper syntax for either of those solutions. Help please (:

I think it should be:
$bank_account = $customer->sources->data[0]->id
If the customer has multiple fund sources, you may need to loop through the data array to find the one you want. $customer->sources->data[$i]->object will be "bank_account" for the source you want.
Pretty sure there is a getter in there. You can just use the properties you would expect on the object.
Example:
$customer_id = $customer->id;
$bank_account_id = $customer->sources->data[0]->id;

I want to print the Group ID, Name, Description and the list of monitor IDs that belong to the group. I'm using json_decode but I cant seem to read the correct variables from the array.
Here's the code I have so far:
`<?php
/**
* Connect to the Site API and extract the list of monitor groups
*/
// URL to fetch
$url = "https://www.mymonitorsite.com/api/monitor_groups";
// Initialize cURL session
$ch = curl_init($url);
// Option to Return the Result, rather than just true/false
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// Set Custom Headers
$headers = array(
'Authorization: Authtoken 12345678901234567890123456789012',
'Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8',
'Accept: application/json; version=2.0',
);
// Option to set the custom headers
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
// Perform the request, and save content to $result
$mongrps_json = curl_exec($ch);
// Close the cURL resource, and free up system resources!
curl_close($ch);
// Decode json data into a PHP Array
$mongrps_array = json_decode($mongrps_json, true);
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title>Monitor Group Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
// List the first monitor group here (test)
echo "Group ID = " . $mongrps_array->data[0]->group_id . "<br>";
echo "Group Name = " . $mongrps_array->data[0]->display_name . <br>";
?>
</body>
</html>
`
Here's a var_dump of the json_decode:

Use foreach loop to display the following data:
group_id
display_name
description and
monitors(as a comma separated list)
$mongrps_array = json_decode($mongrps_json, true);
foreach($mongrps_array['data'] as $arr){
foreach($arr as $key => $value){
if($key == "monitors"){
echo $key . ": " . implode(", ", $value) . "<br />";
}else{
echo $key . ": " . $value . "<br />";
}
}
echo "<br />";
}
I Just tried, should not be any issue to get the data you are looking for.
For example, to get the group_id of the first item in the array:
echo $decodedJson->data[0]->group_id;
Maybe you are trying to get the data as arrays? In this case, pass the parameter true to the json_decode function:
$decodedJson = json_decode($originalJson, true);
echo $decodedJson['data'][0]['group_id'];

Get Value of php stdclass object value

just tried several $result->key ($customer->transaction->status) but was not successful. i need the "status" value of this object in php. tried some combinations of array shift, ->object ->["status"] etc.
object(stdClass)#2 (3) {
["customer"]=>
object(stdClass)#3 (1) {
["link"]=>
object(stdClass)#4 (3) {
["url"]=>
string(78) "https://demo1.com"
["rel"]=>
string(8) "customer"
["method"]=>
string(3) "GET"
}
}
["transaction"]=>
object(stdClass)#5 (9) {
["merchantRefId"]=>
string(19) "46532156465456"
["amount"]=>
int(200)
["currency"]=>
string(3) "EUR"
["id"]=>
string(15) "646544564564"
["transactionType"]=>
string(27) "Transfer"
["createDate"]=>

["updateDate"]=>
string(19) "2016-01-26 08:33:09"
["status"]=>
string(8) "accepted"
["fees"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
object(stdClass)#6 (3) {
["feeType"]=>
string(11) "service_fee"
["feeAmount"]=>
int(119)
["feeCurrency"]=>
string(3) "EUR"
}
}
}
["links"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
object(stdClass)#7 (3) {
["url"]=>
string(78) "https://demo.com"
["rel"]=>
string(4) "self"
["method"]=>
string(3) "GET"
}
}
}
Since you didn't provide the code that creates your object, I've created JSON string and converted it to object, which gives similar var_dump result to yours.
<?php
$jsonStr = '{
"customer": {
"link": {
"url": "https://demo1.com",
"rel": "customer",
"method": "GET"
}
},
"transaction": {
"merchantRefId": "46532156465456",
"amount": 200,
"currency": "EUR",
"id": "646544564564",
"transactionType": "Transfer",
"createDate": "2016-01-26 08:33:09",
"updateDate": "2016-01-26 08:33:09",
"status": "accepted",
"fees": [
{
"feeType": "service_fee",
"feeAmount": 119,
"feeCurrency": "EUR"
}
]
},
"links": [
{
"url": "https://demo.com",
"rel": "self",
"method": "GET"
}
]
}';
$stdObj = json_decode($jsonStr);
var_dump($stdObj);
var_dump($stdObj->transaction->status);
I am able, and you should be too, to simply get status with simple:
$customer->transaction->status

JsonDecode on Null at an URL

I'm making a plugin that gets data from an external server through an encoded URL. To decode the output of the plugin I am using a JsonDecode, but it comes back 'NULL'everytime.
The code:
$json = file_get_contents($goodurl);
$data = json_decode($json);
var_dump($data);
This is the response when requesting the URL:
{
"schemaVersion": "1.0",
"catalogueVersion": "4.0.5651.20898",
"encoding": "UTF-8",
"action": "info",
"query": "catalogue",
"success": "true",
"response": {
"title": "Presentations 2Go",
"description": "Presentations2Go videoserver is an innovative solution to simply capture presentations and\/or lectures on video. The video image of the presenter is linked with the presentation and stored for later (re)use.",
"logoUrl": "https:\/\/DEMO-FORMS.presentations2go.eu\/P2G\/images\/logo\/logo.png",
"languages": [
{"lang": "en"},
{"lang": "nl"},

{"lang": "ru"},
{"lang": "cy"},
{"lang": "tw"}
],
"videoCount": "380",
"webmaster": "support#presentations2go.eu"
}
}
And this is the output in JSON:
object(stdClass)#83 (7) {
["schemaVersion"]=> string(3) "1.0"
["catalogueVersion"]=> string(14) "4.0.5651.20898"

}
I'm not that experienced JSON so I suspect there might be a syntax error in there. But I'm not sure what and how to solve it.
You're getting an object instead of an array.
Simply write:
$data = json_decode($json, true);
To receive an associative array.
From the docs: http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
Use this code
$data = json_decode($json,true);
You are getting an object instead of an array.
To receive an associative array.
$data = json_decode($json, true);
or you can access or get value of object like
echo $data->catalogueVersion;
Everyone already told you to set json_decode to true, when true returned objects will be converted into associative arrays., link
$data = json_decode($json, true);
I would suggest using the code below to view your array. Its is easier to read that way.
echo "<pre>";
print_r($array);
echo "</pre>";

PHP not allowing me to access decoded JSON

I make a JSON call using an API and get the following, which seems to be correctly formatted JSON:
{
"pagination": {},

"code": 200
},

}
]

I then use json_decode in my PHP script to make it something I can manipulate, and this is the output of var_dump

However, when I use echo($instagram_data["data"]); everything crashes. How do I access the 'data' array in this associative array? Here's the whole code:
$instagram_handler = fopen("https://api.instagram.com/v1/locations/10138861/media/recent/?client_id=MY_ID", "r");
$instagram_json = stream_get_contents($instagram_handler);
fclose($instagram_handler);
$instagram_data = json_decode($instagram_json);
echo($instagram_data["data"]); //Breaks page
the JSON is read as an object, not an associative array. load it like so and you'll be good:
$instagram_data = json_decode($instagram_json, TRUE);
alternatively, loading it like you do currently, run:
echo $instagram_data->data
Note the assoc param of json_decode function. If you omit it decode treats JSON as an object rather than an array. So you should be able access it with:
$instagram_data->data;
Other option is to decode as array as following:
$instagram_data = json_decode($instagram_json, TRUE);
