Create foreach loop from JSON array

Question

I'm having problem with creating a foreach loop out of a JSON, I can't get the values out of the array correct, what am I doing wrong?

JSON:

[
{"Pages":{
         "name":"Name 1",
         "id":"3342939832994"
         }
},
{"Pages":{
         "name":"Name 2",
         "id":"289051164453763"
         }
}
]

PHP:

    $json = $_POST['Publish'];

    $json = $json->Pages

    foreach($json as $key => $items) {

    $id = $items->id;     
    $name = $items->id;     

    }

You forgot to json_decode the data. What's the next question? — John Dvorak

Voting to close because "get the values out of the array correct" is not a problem description. — John Dvorak

Do it like this

$json = json_decode($_POST['Publish']);

json_decode - Takes a JSON encoded string and converts it into a PHP variable.

obligatory docs: json_decode. Also, depending, you may want to set $assoc = true

You can use this code

<?php
$array = json_decode($_POST['Publish'], true);

foreach($array as $item) {
    $id= $item['Pages']['id'];
    $name = $item['Pages']['name'];
    echo "id: $id <br/> name: $name <br/><br/>";
}

?>
