            "precinct":"Yishun",
            "region":"North",
            "zipcode":768643},
            {
            "districtno":20,
            "name":"AI TONG SCHOOL",
            "precinct":"Sin Ming",
            "region":"North",
            "zipcode":579646},
            {
            "districtno":19,
            "name":"ANCHOR GREEN PRIMARY SCHOOL",
            "precinct":"Sengkang",
            "region":"North",
            "zipcode":544969}]
        }
    }
}

im still learning to understand... but could anyone point me on the right direction. I would like to achieve this using PHP the following...

<select>
<?php print "<option value=\"$districtno\">$name</option>";?><br />
</select>

Like this:

$data = json_decode($json)->{'results'}->{'result'}->{'schoolhit'};

foreach ($data as $school) {
    echo "<option value=" . $school->{'districtno'} . ">" . $school->{'name'} . "</option>";
}

Obviously adapt the output to your needs but given your json that should fill out the values you want.

You'll have to use json_decode, and then iterate through that array.
