I'm trying to input json strings as: http://prntscr.com/kt8i8a
{"0":168,"1":168}
{"168":1,"168":2}
{"168":70000,"168":80000}
My purpose is getting 2 values with id=168 to save in DB
when i use json_decode('{"168":1,"168":2}',true)
I get the result with only value :
array:1 [
168 => 2
]
How many ways to parse full values?, thanks
Keys in objects/dictionaries are unique, so the last key's value will be final and replace all other values before that.
Two solutions, either put 2 objects inside an array:
[
{
"168": "1"
},
{
"168": "2"
}
]
or have an object with key of 168 with 2 values:
{
"168": [
"1",
"2"
]
}
In your case, i hope you can modify the format of the encoded json adding some extra info to make it a multidimensional array. There are different ways to have same key index with different value and one may be like this:
{"data":
[
{"168":"1"},{"168":"2"}
]
}
in this case you can get the desired result and access the values, otherwise is not possible like in your code because you have a duplicate unique key index. Hope is clear and helps you.
This is not a valid json syntax, try to fix it.
If you don't can because you cant influence the api because you don't have developed it, you could try it over regex parsing like this :
<?php
//print out the result
var_dump(getInvalidCustomJson('{"0":168,"1":168}'));
function getInvalidCustomJson($json){
$res = array(); // result array which get returned
preg_match_all('/"([0-9]+)".([0-9]+)/m',$json, $result, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER); // matching a key between "..." and a value which get send afterwards
for($i = 0; $i < count($result[0]); $i++){ // go through all results
$std = array();
$std[$result[1][$i]] = $result[2][$i]; // insert key and value from the groups into the array
$res[] = $std; // add the array to the result array
// $res[$result[1][$i]] = $result[2][$i]; wont work because it will
// overwrite the key like json decoder does
}
return $res; // return array
}
?>
