i am getting this request.
{ "area": [
{
"area": "kothrud"
},
{
"area": "katraj"
}
]
}
and i want to provide response to this by searching records in database based on above request. how will i decode above json array and use each area field separately.
your string is NOT a valid json to start with.
a valid json will be,
{
"area": [
{
"area": "kothrud"
},
{
"area": "katraj"
}
]
}
if you do a json_decode, it will yield,
stdClass Object
(
[area] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[area] => kothrud
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[area] => katraj
)
)
)
Update: to use
$string = '
{
"area": [
{
"area": "kothrud"
},
{
"area": "katraj"
}
]
}
';
$area = json_decode($string, true);
foreach($area['area'] as $i => $v)
{
echo $v['area'].'<br/>';
}
Output:
kothrud
katraj
Update #2:
for that true:
When TRUE, returned objects will be converted into associative arrays. for more information, click here
you can use json_decode function
foreach (json_decode($response) as $area)
{
print_r($area); // this is your area from json response
}
