Json Encode Issues with Objects - php

array(
[key] => Array
(
[229] => Tuple Object
(
[ID] => 1
[NAME] => abc
)
[233] => Tuple Object
(
[ID] => 2
[NAME] => abcd
)
...
...
...
)
[moreinfo] = 'xyz'
)
issue is when i am using json_encode tuple object is getting lost as all data types like id,name are private.
Following Solution i have found
change private variables to public, still i can access the variables as array instead of objects :-(
write a wrapper which convert object to array...... an extra effort
can any one suggest a solution in which i can use objects.

PHP read first item in object array

I have my code in PHP which is returning this Array of data:
GoCardlessPro\Core\ListResponse Object
(
[records] => Array
(
[0] => GoCardlessPro\Resources\Mandate Object
(
[model_name:protected] => Mandate
[created_at:protected] => 2017-04-01T16:49:09.642Z
[id:protected] => ID001
[links:protected] => stdClass Object
(
[customer_bank_account] => CB001
[creditor] => CR001
[customer] => CU001
)
[metadata:protected] => stdClass Object
(
)
[next_possible_charge_date:protected] => 2017-04-06
[payments_require_approval:protected] =>
[reference:protected] => RE001
[scheme:protected] => bacs
[status:protected] => active
[data:GoCardlessPro\Resources\BaseResource:private] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 123
[created_at] => 2017-04-01T16:49:09.642Z
[reference] => RE001
[status] => active
[scheme] => bacs
[next_possible_charge_date] => 2017-04-06

[metadata] => stdClass Object

(
[customer_bank_account] => 001
[creditor] => CR001
[customer] => CU001
)
)
[api_response] =>
)
)
)
I want to be able to read the ID of the first item in therecords array.
This data is contained inside a variable called $GC_Mandate;
I have tried these:
echo $GC_Mandate->records->{0}->id;
echo $GC_Mandate->records->0->id;
echo $GC_Mandate->records->[0]->id;
$GC_Mandate = $GC_Mandate->records;
echo $GC_Mandate->{0}->id;
But none will return the data
To get the first record, the syntax you need is $GC_Mandate->records[ 0 ].
However, that object is a GoCardlessPro\Resources\Mandate object and its member id is protected1, so we'd need to know the interface of GoCardlessPro\Resources\Mandate (its public methods1), to know if we can somehow retrieve the value of id.
My guess would be getId(), so the full syntax would become
$GC_Mandate->records[ 0 ]->getId()
But, that's just a guess. You'd have to look into the documentation/class definition of GoCardlessPro\Resources\Mandate, to be sure if you can retrieve id.
Turns out (provided I'm linking to the correct github repository) you can do:
$GC_Mandate->records[ 0 ]->id
since GoCardlessPro\Resources\Mandate extends GoCardlessPro\Resources\BaseResource, which exposes the protected members through GoCardlessPro\Resources\BaseResource::__get()2.
1. visibility in PHP
2. magic methods in PHP
I can't comment so I guess I'll have to post.
You should try to print_r($GC_Mandate); and see what it gives out and then go from there.
Try $GC_Mandate->records[0]->__get('id')
it will return all data ..for perticulat data put this in foreach loop
print_r($GC_Mandate['records']);

Getting values nested in multiple arrays

I get the response below from a script, and I need to extract board, model, serial number, current and upgrade.
Net\Response Object
(
[unrecognizedWords:protected] => Array
(
)
[_type:Net\Response:private] => !re
[attributes:protected] => Array
(
[board] => true
[model] => CRD
[serialnumber] => XXXXXXXX
[current] => 5.11
[upgrade] => 5.11
)
[_tag:Net\Message:private] =>
)
I've multiple combinations such as this:
echo unrecognizedWords:protected->attributes:protected->board;
However I can not get the values our of the array.
Can someone help me?
You cann't get any protected or private properties of object (only public). Use public methods (getters) of this object (sure, that it's provided).

Export Array of SimpleXMLElement objects to MySQL Database

I have a SOAP Response from a Web Service and have extracted the XML data as a SimpleXMLElement. I have then iterated through this object to extract the various fields I need and save them into an array, which becomes an array of SimpleXMLElement objects.
I am now trying to export this data into a MySQL Database which, according to my research, means turning the array into a String and then using mysql_query("INSERT INTO (whatever) VALUES (whatever)");. I have tried implode and serialize but neither work and I get the error:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Serialization of 'SimpleXMLElement' is not allowed'
This is what the array I have created from the SimpleXMLELement looks like:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[uid] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => WOS:000238186400009
)
[journal] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[#attributes] => Array
(
[type] => source
)
)
[publication] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[#attributes] => Array
(
[type] => item
)
[0] => Abundance of hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) in relation to the density and distribution of badgers (Meles meles)
)
[year] => 2006
[author1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => Young, RP
)
[address] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => Cent Sci Lab, Sand Hutton, Yorks, England
)
[author2] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => Davison, J
)
[author3] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => Trewby, ID
)
[citations] => SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[#attributes] => Array
(
[local_count] => 15
[coll_id] => WOS
)
)
) ... etc ...
)
Can anyone help me with the method to get this data into my database, please? Do I need to change it into (yet) another format?
You have to iterate through your array to create a new array fulfilled with strings instead of SimpleXMLElement, such as :
<?php
// your array (already built)
$arraySimpleXml = array(
"example1" => new SimpleXMLElement("<test>value</test>"),
"example2" => new SimpleXMLElement("<test>value2</test>")
);
// output array, to store in database
$result = array();
foreach($arraySimpleXml as $key => $simpleXml) {
$result[$key] = $simpleXml->asXML();
}
// gets your result as a string => you can now insert it into mysql
$dbInsertion = serialize($result);
?>
So I worked out how to change the data into a standard array rather than an array of SimpleXMLElements so that I can successfully insert it into a MySQL database.
When iterating the SimpleXMLElement object to extract the data I needed I cast the type as String so that now my array has the format (as opposed to above):
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[uid] => WOS:000238186400009
[journal] => JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY
[publication] => Abundance of hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus) in relation to the density and distribution of badgers (Meles meles)
[year] => 2006
[author1] => Young, RP
[address] => Cent Sci Lab, Sand Hutton, Yorks, England
[author2] => Davison, J
[author3] => Trewby, ID
[citations] => 15
)
)
Thought I'd post this in case anyone has a similar problem in future. To do this, when iterating the data instead of:
$uid = $record->UID;
I did:
$uid = (string)$record->UID;
For each of the data fields I required. This ensures the data is stored as a String and so removes the SimpleXMLElement format.

php: trying to call data from an object

I am trying to get specific data set from the object but unable to find out why I cannot call the number in my assignment. This is it as follows:
$teir = $league->data->summonerLeagues->0->teir;
First of all this is calling the data from the league which is set and so that yo can see what the data looks like here it is:
stdClass Object
(
[data] => stdClass Object
(
[summonerLeagues] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[queue] => RANKED_SOLO_5x5
[name] => Dr. Mundo's Crushers
[tier] => BRONZE
[requestorsRank] => III
[entries] => Array
at this point I am trying to assign the variable $teir to teir in the object but they use 0 in the object and the way I am calling it must be the issue.....
Any suggestions?
Array access is with brackets, while object properties are accessed with ->:
$tier = $league->data->summonerLeagues[0]->tier; // Fixed typo per #MikePurcell's comment

PHP - Converting object array to usable object

I have an array which contains status objects, these status objects contain an array of like objects and also contain comment objects
My question is that now I have the objects in my array, how do I pull them back out? This is so I can save them to a db later on.
Thanks for your help

You can use foreach and access properties of individual objects to be saved. I assume you are using getter and setter methods since all your properties are private. Using foreach provides the "as" keyword to make an alias for each individual object instance as the loop executes among them.
<?foreach($obj as $status){
$status_text = $status->getMessage();
//save this to database using your favored method;
$comments = $status->getComments();
//nest the foreach for all the comments to save them as well, if you like
foreach($comments as $comment){
//Save $comment here as well
}
}
?>
This is especially handy for complex nested objects like yours, since public methods and properties can be accessed by the individual iterator for easy action, like saving to the database.
