Here's my current code:
// connect to database
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","username","password","database");
if (!$con) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysqli_error());
}
// get the json file
$jsondata = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com');
// convert json to php array
$data = json_decode($jsondata, true);
// assign each of the variables
$id = $data['0']['id'];
$name = $data['0']['name'];
$status = $data['0']['status'];
$insertstatement = mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO `table` (`id`, `name`, `status`) VALUES ('".$id."', '".$name."', '".$status."');");
Technically this code is working, but it's only adding the first item.
For example, here's the original json that's being imported:
[
{
"id":"19839",
"status":"active",
"name":"First Name",
},
{
"id":"19840",
"status":"active",
"name":"Second Name",
},
{
"id":"19841",
"status":"active",
"name":"Another Name",
},
{
"id":"19842",
"status":"active",
"name":"Last Name",
}
]
My code would only be inserting this into the database:
{
"id":"19839",
"status":"active",
"name":"First Name",
}
How do I make it loop through all of them and insert all of the rows? Also is there, a way to insert them in reverse order (starting from the last one, ending at the first one)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
