array result using foreach statement display in json in php - php

Question

I am getting the result from web service SOAP client. I have created an array to get the result and display it using json format. I am getting few of my results properly. I have SerialEquipment parameter which is array and i need to get the result using foreach loop. I am doing an mistake there. I dont know how can i assign my $vehiclResult array in this for each statement. So that all the results at last i will collect and display using json using vehicleResult array.My mistake is in the foreach loop.
structure for SerialEquipment parameters:
Code:
$vehicle = getVehicleValuation();
$Serial=$vehicle['SerialEquipment'];
$vehiclResult = array(
'WE_Number' => $vehicle['WE Number'] ."<br>",
'Vehicle Type'=> $vehicle['Vehicle Type'] . "<br>",
'HSN' => $vehicle['HSN'] . "<br>",
'TSN' => $vehicle['TSN'] . "<br>"
);
foreach($Serial as $key => $obj) {
if(!isset($vehiclResult[$key]))
$vehiclResult[$key] = array();
$vehiclResult[$key]['SerialEquipment'] = $key. "<br>";
$vehiclResult[$key]['Code'] = $obj->Code. "<br>";
$vehiclResult[$key]['Desc Short'] = $obj->Desc_Short. "<br>";
$vehiclResult[$key]['Desc Long'] = $obj->Desc_Long. "<br>";
foreach($obj->Esaco as $key2 => $obj2) {
if($obj2->EsacoMainGroupCode === null){
// doesn't contain Esaco
continue;
}
else{
if(!isset($vehiclResult[$key][$key2]))
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2] = array();
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['esaco'] = $key2. "<br>";
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoMainGroupCode'] = $obj2->EsacoMainGroupCode. "<br>";
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoMainGroupDesc'] = $obj2->EsacoMainGroupDesc. "<br>";
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoSubGroupCode'] = $obj2->EsacoSubGroupCode. "<br>";
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoSubGroupDesc'] = utf8_decode($obj2->EsacoSubGroupDesc). "<br>";
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoGroupCode'] = $obj2->EsacoGroupCode. "<br>";
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoGroupDesc'] = utf8_decode($obj2->EsacoGroupDesc). "<br>";
}
}
}
$result = array(
'vehicle' => $vehiclResult
);
echo json_encode($result);
die();
}

You need to check if your array have the key so:
if(!isset($vehiclResult[$key]))
if not, you need to create it:
$vehiclResult[$key] = array(); // as an array
Also, you don't really need to make a description of your "item". You can Parse your JSON on the result page to output some text.
You can do something like.
Do something like:
foreach($Serial as $key => $obj) {
if(!isset($vehiclResult[$key]))
$vehiclResult[$key] = array();
$vehiclResult[$key]['serial'] = $key;
$vehiclResult[$key]['code'] = $obj->Code;
$vehiclResult[$key]['short_desc'] = $obj->Desc_Short;
$vehiclResult[$key]['long_desc'] = $obj->Desc_Long;
foreach($obj->Esaco as $key2 => $obj2) {
if($obj2->EsacoMainGroupCode === null){
// doesn't contain Esaco
continue;
}
else{
if(!isset($vehiclResult[$key][$key2]))
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2] = array();
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['esaco'] = $key2;
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoMainGroupCode'] = $obj2->EsacoMainGroupCode;
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoMainGroupDesc'] = $obj2->EsacoMainGroupDesc;
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoSubGroupCode'] = $obj2->EsacoSubGroupCode;
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoSubGroupDesc'] = utf8_decode($obj2->EsacoSubGroupDesc);
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoGroupCode'] = $obj2->EsacoGroupCode;
$vehiclResult[$key][$key2]['EsacoGroupDesc'] = utf8_decode($obj2->EsacoGroupDesc);
}
}
}
$result = array(
'vehicle' => $vehiclResult
);
echo json_encode($result);
die();
If you would keep your "text" and your <br> code, do the samething but add what you want to output after the "="
EDIT
** A HAVE CHANGE THE CODE PREVIOUSLY..
if you want to test your $vehiclResult, try something like:
foreach($vehiclResult as $key=>$value){
if(!is_array($value))
var_dump($value);
else {
foreach($value as $key2=>$value2){
if(!is_array($value2))
var_dump($value2);
else {
foreach($value2 as $key3=>$value3){
var_dump($value3);
}
}
}
}
