I have a table.html, data.php and json.csv within the same folder.
data.php is doing fopen("json.csv","r") to read from json.csv.
How can I display the JSON objects as a table within table.html?
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js">
function display(){
$.post('data.php',function(data){
$("#txtJSON").html(data);
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="display()">
<table id="#jobtable">
<input type="text" id="txtJSON" />
</table>
</body>
</html>
You just need json_decode and some iteration
http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
I'll show you a very simplistic way to do the PHP. You don't tell anything about the JSON, so I'm assuming its flat (not nested). I think you might want to alter the client side stuff too. Make txtJSON into an empty div, which will be filled with the output from the PHP.
$file = $fopen("json.csv", 'r');
$fileText = fread($file, filesize($file));
$arr = json_decode($fileText, true); //i prefer associative array in this context
echo "<table>";
foreach($arr as $k=>$v)
echo "<tr><td>$k</td><td>$v</td></tr>";
echo "</table>";
If your JSON is not flat and simple, what would you like the resulting table to look like?
Here I have taken json data in to $json variable, and then use foreach loop to create table from json data.
foreach ($data as $key => $jsons) {
$table ='<table class="'.$jsons['class'].'" border="1">';
foreach ($jsons as $rkey => $rvalue) {
if($rkey=='head')
{
$table.='<tr>';
foreach($rvalue as $rvv)
{
$table.='<th>'.$rvv.'</th>';
}
$table.='</tr>';
}else
if($rkey=='rows')
{
foreach($rvalue as $rvv)
{
$table.='<tr>';
foreach($rvv as $rv)
{
$table.='<td>'.$rv.'</td>';
}
$table.='</tr>';
}
}
}
}
echo $table;
?>
I have taken reference from http://www.tutsway.com/create-table-from-json.php
You can use this library for converting Json to Standard HTML table: Json-To-Html-Table
