PHP or JQUERY JSON Handling - php

Question

I have a simple JSON StdClass Object from a PHP, and I wish to format it into a table/list/div and eliminate other keys and values in the process. The JSON looks like this:
stdClass Object (
[msc] => 150
[number] => 309
[status] => OK
[msc_mcc] => 652
[imsi] => 652010154107728
[mcc] => 652
[operator_country] => Botswana
[msc_operator_name] => MSC
[msc_operator_country] => Botswana
[msc_mnc] => 01
[mnc] => 01
[id] => 1072540715
[msc_location] =>
[operator_name] => MSC )
I have tried PHP and did make a table, but the problem is I need to pick certain values other that the whole body, and also I need to eliminate empty values
function print_nice($elem,$max_level=10,$print_nice_stack=array()){
if(is_array($elem) || is_object($elem)){
if(in_array($elem,$print_nice_stack,true)){
echo "<font color=red>RECURSION</font>";
return;
}
$print_nice_stack[]=&$elem;
if($max_level<1){
echo "<font color=red>nivel maximo alcanzado</font>";
return;
}
$max_level--;
echo "<table class='table table-bordered table-striped'>";
if(is_array($elem)){
echo '<tr><th colspan=2><strong><font><h3>Results, with love</h3></font></strong></th></tr>';
}else{
echo '<tr><th colspan=2 class=hdrs><strong>';
echo '<font color=white>OBJECT Type: '.get_class($elem).'</font></strong></th></tr>';
}
$color=0;
foreach($elem as $k => $v){
if($max_level%2){
$rgb=($color++%2)?"#f5f5f5":"#efeeee";
}else{
$rgb=($color++%2)?"#f5f5f5":"#efeeee";
}
echo '<tr><td valign="top" style="width:40px;background-color:'.$rgb.';">';
echo '<strong>'.$k."</strong></td><td>";
print_nice($v,$max_level,$print_nice_stack);
echo "</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
return;
}
if($elem === null){
echo "<font color=green>NULL</font>";
}elseif($elem === 0){
echo "0";
}elseif($elem === true){
echo "<font color=green>TRUE</font>";
}elseif($elem === false){
echo "<font color=green>FALSE</font>";
}elseif($elem === ""){
echo "<font color=green>EMPTY STRING</font>";
}else{
echo str_replace("\n","<strong><font color=red>*</font></strong><br>\n",$elem);
}
}

Answer 1

get_object_vars() and in_array() may be helpful here
For example:
<?php
$object = json_decode($jsonstring);
?>
<table>
<?php
foreach (get_object_vars($object) as $k => $v)
{
if (in_array($k, array('msc', 'number', 'status')) && ! empty($v))
{
echo '<tr>';
echo "<td>{$k}</td><td>{$v}</td>";
echo '</tr>';
}
}
?>
</table>
Where $object is the name of your json_decoded variable
Edit:
Added a check for empty values too
