Loop through json array of objects issue

Question

Hi I'm trying to loop through a json array of objects but I literally get nothing back, here is my attempt.

 $jsonurl = 'http://eol.org/api/search/1.0.json?q='."$searchvar".'&page=1&exact=false&      filter_by_taxon_concept_id=&filter_by_hierarchy_entry_id=&filter_by_string=&cache_ttl=';
 $json = file_get_contents($jsonurl,0,null,null);
 $json_output = json_decode($json);

foreach ($json_output->dataObjects as $objects){
    print "{$objects->title}\n";
}

here is the structure of the actual json array.

array

0    object
     id     19076
     title  Vulpes
     link   http://eol.org/19076?action=overview&controller=taxa
     content    Arctic foxes; kit foxes; red foxes; red fox

Try:

foreach ($json_output->results as $object){
    print "{$object->title}\n";
}

You're welcome. The problem was in your array name, which in JSON was defined as "results" not "dataObjects"

one more approach that you can try is to decode the json in to array instead of objects.

$json_output = json_decode($json,true);

By passing a varaible as true in the json_decode() function you will get the json_output as an array which can be easily traversed.

Else

you can loop through

foreach ($json_output->results as $object){
    echo "{$object->title}\n";
}

Please refer to the json_decode() function php manual guide at http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
