PHP Output (json) - php

Question

This is my script which is fetching a delivery report form my service providers api & displaying it in json format. I want this to be displayed in a table form using the mobile & status fields.
<?php
$uid="UID";
$pin="PIN";
$domain="DOMAIN";
$route="5";
$method="POST";
$rtype="json";
//---------------------------------
if(isset($_REQUEST['send']))
{
$date=$_REQUEST['date'];
$uid=urlencode($uid);
$pin=urlencode($pin);
$rtype=urlencode($rtype);
$route=urlencode($route);
$date=urlencode($date);
$rtype=urlencode($rtype);
$parameters="uid=$uid&pin=$pin&date=$date&route=$route&rtype=$rtype";
$url="http://$domain/api/dlr.php";
$ch = curl_init($url);
if($method=="POST")
{
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$parameters);
}
else
{
$get_url=$url."?".$parameters;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $get_url);
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER,0); // DO NOT RETURN HTTP HEADERS
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); // RETURN THE CONTENTS OF THE CALL
$return_val = curl_exec($ch);
if($return_val=="")
echo "Process Failed, Please check your connecting domain, username or password.";
else
echo "$return_val";
}
echo "<form name='f1' method='post'>";
echo "<p> Date (##-##-####): <input name='date' > </p>";
echo "<p> <input type='submit' value='Send' name='send'></p>";
echo "</form";
?>
OUTPUT
[{"smsid":"211677113","mobile":"9876546577","status":"Delivered"},{"smsid":"211677166","mobile":"98765454377","status":"Delivered"}]

Answer 1

try json_decode()
$str = json_decode('[{"smsid":"211677113","mobile":"9876546577","status":"Delivered"},{"smsid":"211677166","mobile":"98765454377","status":"Delivered"}]', true);
print_r($str);
it will convert your json string in an array then loop through your array and print output as you wish like
foreach($str as $k=>$v) {
echo $v['smsid'];
echo $v['mobile'];
echo $v['status'];
}

Answer 2

Try to show table
<?php
$a = json_decode('[{"smsid":"211677113","mobile":"9876546577","status":"Delivered"},{"smsid":"211677166","mobile":"98765454377","status":"Delivered"}]');
?>
<table border="1">
<?php
foreach($a as $k=>$v){?>
<tr>
<td><?=$v->mobile?></td>
<td><?=$v->status?></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>
