Im trying to pass a mulitidimensional Javascript array to another page on my site by:
using JSON.stringify on the array
assigning the resultant value to an input field
posting that field to the second page
using json_decode on the posted value
then var_dump to test
(echo'ing the posted variable directly just to see if it came through
at all)
Javascript on page one:
var JSONstr = JSON.stringify(fullInfoArray);
document.getElementById('JSONfullInfoArray').value= JSONstr;
php on page two:
$data = json_decode($_POST["JSONfullInfoArray"]);
var_dump($data);
echo($_POST["JSONfullInfoArray"]);
The echo works fine but the var_dump returns NULL
What have I done wrong?
This got me fixed up:
$postedData = $_POST["JSONfullInfoArray"];
$tempData = str_replace("\\", "",$postedData);
$cleanData = json_decode($tempData);
var_dump($cleanData);
Im not sure why but the post was coming through with a bunch of "\" characters separating each variable in the string
Figured it out using json_last_error() as sugested by Bart which returned JSON_ERROR_SYNTAX
When you save some data using JSON.stringify() and then need to read that in php. The following code worked for me.
json_decode( html_entity_decode( stripslashes ($jsonString ) ) );
Thanks to #Thisguyhastwothumbs
When you use JSON stringify then use html_entity_decode first before json_decode.
$tempData = html_entity_decode($tempData);
$cleanData = json_decode($tempData);
You'll need to check the contents of $_POST["JSONfullInfoArray"]. If something doesn't parse json_decode will just return null. This isn't very helpful so when null is returned you should check json_last_error() to get more info on what went wrong.
None of the other answers worked in my case, most likely because the JSON array contained special characters. What fixed it for me:
Javascript (added encodeURIComponent)
var JSONstr = encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(fullInfoArray));
document.getElementById('JSONfullInfoArray').value = JSONstr;
PHP (unchanged from the question)
$data = json_decode($_POST["JSONfullInfoArray"]);
var_dump($data);
echo($_POST["JSONfullInfoArray"]);
Both echo and var_dump have been verified to work fine on a sample of more than 2000 user-entered datasets that included a URL field and a long text field, and that were returning NULL on var_dump for a subset that included URLs with the characters ?&#.
stripslashes(htmlspecialchars(JSON_DATA))
jsonText = $_REQUEST['myJSON'];
$decodedText = html_entity_decode($jsonText);
$myArray = json_decode($decodedText, true);`
I don't how this works, but it worked.
$post_data = json_decode(json_encode($_POST['request_key']));

I have written a php script to decode a value using base64_decode() function. I want to store the parse the result into different variable. How do I achieve this??
$str = 'eyJ0eXAiO0IjoiNTAwMCIsInZhbGlkaXR5IjoiMzAifQjdubnmGHANidodnd';
$msisdn_64 = base64_decode($msisdn);
print_r($msisdn_64);
NB: For privacy sake the $str variable contains dummy value And this Does not use a token to decode
The code above outputs:
{"typ":"JWT","alg":"HS256"}{"sub":"456564685455","service":"000","created":20010809,"account_name":"Acct","iss":"Acft","exp":false,"amount":"000","validity":"30"}}�.'���A˕X=·&|�L�0�"����
I tried something like this $msisdn[1]->sub , $msisdn[0]->sub , and $msisdn->sub to the value in the second object but its not working. Please help
You can use the json_decode function
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
Example:
<?php
$json = '{"a":1,"b":2,"c":3,"d":4,"e":5}';
var_dump(json_decode($json));
var_dump(json_decode($json, true));
?>
$str = 'eyJ0eXAiO0IjoiNTAwMCIsInZhbGlkaXR5IjoiMzAifQjdubnmGHANidodnd';
$msisdn_64 = base64_decode($msisdn);
print_r($msisdn_64);
Here you need to decode the string again like below.
$str = 'eyJ0eXAiO0IjoiNTAwMCIsInZhbGlkaXR5IjoiMzAifQjdubnmGHANidodnd';
$msisdn_64 = json_decode(base64_decode($msisdn),true);
print_r($msisdn_64);
remember to put the parameter true in json_decode() method, because it returns the result as an associative array.
<?php
function get_stuff()
{
($_GET['http://****RemovedForSecurityPurposes****.repairshopr.com/api/v1/tickets?api_key=****RemovedForSecurityPurposes****']);
echo $_GET;
}
get_stuff();
?> /* Yes, Pointless closing tag, I'm cool like that. */
For some reason when I run this code the output I'm getting is "Array" and I can't figure out why? I know it is an array that I'm getting from the URL but I thought it would just print in whatever format its in? Am I missing something?
Thanks In advance!
You cannot pass website URL to $_GET.
You should use file_get_contents()
$content = file_get_contents('http://YOUR_URL');
If you have valid json then you can convert it to an array.
$data = json_decode($content, true);
then print it,
echo '<pre>'; print_r($data);
The Message of OP when I run this code the output I'm getting is
"Array".
You need to use file_get_contents to read a file from a remote server. If your file response an array then you have to use print_r or var_export or var_dump. Or if your file response is a string(json) then you need to store it in a variable and apply a decode method.
function get_stuff(){
$response = file_get_contents('http://****RemovedForSecurityPurposes****.repairshopr.com/api/v1/tickets?api_key=****RemovedForSecurityPurposes****');
print_r($response); // if array
$arr = json_decode($response); // decode of json
print_r($arr);
}
get_stuff();
I think you will understand what i mean. Let me know if you are useful or need some help.
[{"text":"\n $3.99\n ","attrs":{"class":"priceLarge"}}]
This is how JSON is being returned to me... (using print_r($price) to display)...
I have tried various ways in PHP to access this data, but nothing has worked.
I want the "text"...
Thanks!
EDIT:
var_dump (as requested)
string(96) "[{"text":"\n $3.99\n ","attrs":{"class":"priceLarge"}}]"
Make use of json_decode()
<?php
$jsonStr='[{"text":"\n $3.99\n ","attrs":{"class":"priceLarge"}}]';
$jsonArr = json_decode($jsonStr);
echo $jsonArr[0]->text;
Assuming that you've got a JSON string, you need to use json_decode() to translate it into a PHP object first:
$json = json_decode($jsonString);
From there, you can access text from the first object in the data (which is an array, defined by the outer square brackets[]:
echo $json[0]->text;
// | |
// | The property text of that first element.
// |
// The first element in the array of data.
$string = '[{"text":"\n $3.99\n ","attrs":{"class":"priceLarge"}}]';
$obj = json_decode($string);
Allowing you to access:
print $obj[0]->text;
I'm getting below JSON response:
[{"startDate":"2012-07-12 11:21:38 +0530","totalTime":0},{"startDate":"2012-07-11 11:27:33 +0530","totalTime":0},{"startDate":"2012-07-16 18:38:37 +0530","totalTime":0},{"startDate":"2012-07-17 14:18:32 +0530","totalTime":0}]
i want make array of start date and totalTime, i have used these two lines but it wont work $obj, please suggest..
$obj = json_decode($dateTimeArr);
$dateAr = $obj->{'startDate'};
As everyone said, and you did - use json_decode.
$dateArrays = json_decode($dateTimeArr, true); // decode JSON to associative array
foreach($dateArrays as $dateArr){
echo $dateArr['startDate'];
echo $dateArr['totalTime'];
}
In future, if you are unsure what type or structure of data is in the variable, do var_dump($var) and it will print type of variable and its content.
It is very easy:
$Arr = json_decode($JSON, true);
json_decode() will give you nested PHP types you can then descend to retrieve your data.
use json_decode($json_response,true) to convert json to Array
Guess what you are looking for is json_decode()
Check out http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php for the inner workings
If I have, in javascript, something like:
entriesObj1 = new Object();
entriesObj1.entryId = "abc";
entriesObj1.mediaType = 2;
entriesObj2 = new Object();
entriesObj2.entryId = "def";
entriesObj2.mediaType = 1;
var entries = new Array();
entries[0] = entriesObj1;
entries[1] = entriesObj2;
What is the best method to pass it to php through an HTTP POST?
I've tried a jQuery plugin to convert the array to JSON. I've tried to create multiple hidden fields named "entries[]", each one with the JSON string. Somehow, I can't seem to decode my data with PHP's json_decode.
EDIT:
I tried changing the JSON plugin used to the one #Michal indicated and the results I get are the same:
Javascript
[
{"disciplina":"sdfsdfsdfsd","titulo":"sdfsdfsdf","componentes":"Bloco Completo"},
{"disciplina":"sdfsdfsdfsd","titulo":"sdfsdfsdf","componentes":"Bloco Completo"}
]
PHP Vardump:
string(756) "
[
{\"disciplina\":\"sdfsdfsdfsd\",\"titulo\":\"sdfsdfsdf\",\"componentes\":\"Bloco Completo\"},
{\"disciplina\":\"sdfsdfsdfsd\",\"titulo\":\"sdfsdfsdf\",\"componentes\":\"Bloco Completo\"}
]
"
When I use PHP's json_decode, I get NULL.
var_dump(json_decode($_REQUEST['entries']));
Output:
NULL
You need to convert JSON to a string (use JSON stringifier (https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js) and POST the string (as a field value) to the PHP script which does json_decode()
Concat it using some characters like _ or %% then pass it to PHP.
In PHP file:
$ar = array();
$ar = explode('special_char',string pass from js);
echo "pre";print_r($ar);
echo "/pre";
well, the trouble seemed to be with the quotes that were being passed in the post, so i just replaced the quotes with open strings to my $_REQUEST.
