I am having issues creating this "features object" in php/json here is an example of this code: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/geojson.htm
I am getting all of the information in the inside of the Features Object array and getting it formatted just fine but I can't seem to get the inital features object created.
{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
**"features": [**
{
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [102.0, 0.5]
},
"properties": {
"prop0": "value0"
}
}
]
}
my code is coming out like this though in json format:
{
"type": "FeaturedCollection",
"0": {
**"features": {**
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": []
}
},
"properties": {
"id": 282
}
},
"1": {
"features": {
"type": "Feature",
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": []
}
},
"properties": {
"id": 280
}
},
This is the code I am using to create the array:
foreach($posts as $post) {
$data[] = array (
'features' => array (
'type' => 'Feature',
'geometry' => array (
'type' => 'Point',
'coordinates' => array (
),
),
),
'properties' => array(
'id' => $post->ID,
),
);
}
return $data;
can someone point me in the right direction of how to create this Features Object? Again I am coding this in PHP and rendering it as JSON or GeoJson.
I found the answer: In case someone else is looking for the answer on how to structure geojson code in php this example works.
<?php
// Sample data (e.g., from a database)
$locations = array(
array("name" => "Location A", "latitude" => 34.0522, "longitude" => -118.2437),
array("name" => "Location B", "latitude" => 40.7128, "longitude" => -74.0060),
);
// Create the GeoJSON FeatureCollection structure
$geojson = array(
'type' => 'FeatureCollection',
'features' => array()
);
// Iterate through locations and create GeoJSON features
foreach ($locations as $location) {
$feature = array(
'type' => 'Feature',
'geometry' => array(
'type' => 'Point', // GeoJSON geometry type
'coordinates' => array($location['longitude'], $location['latitude']) // GeoJSON coordinates format
),
'properties' => array(
'name' => $location['name'] // Add properties as needed
)
);
// Add the feature to the FeatureCollection
array_push($geojson['features'], $feature);
}
// Set the header to indicate JSON output
header('Content-type: application/json');
// Encode the PHP array as a JSON string and output it
echo json_encode($geojson, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
?>
{ "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ ...an array of objects... ]}and that is not what your code is building. You're just tacking objects on using their array index.StdClassand assign properties, unless you actually need an array as value.
