I am performing a HTTP GET request in PHP to a webservice. I am getting response as JSON. But I faced a few errors while printing some of the values from JSON like inkey2 & key3. The GET request that I used is correct. There are no syntax errors as well. URL is correct even though the URL that I specified here in the question is a bit fake. :)
The JSON that I got as response for the HTTP GET request
{
"name":
{
"key1": "salala",
"key2":
{
"inkey1": "hike",
"inkey2":
[
{
"@sunny": "fake",
"@leone": "take"
},
{
"@sunny": "make",
"@leone": "bake"
},
{
"@sunny": "cake",
"@leone": "drake"
},
{
"@sunny": "sake",
"@leone": "lake"
}
],
"inkey3": "bike"
},
"key3":
[
"batman",
"superman",
"spiderman",
"ironman",
"hancock"
],
"key4": "nike"
}
}
//HTTP GET request
$url='iwonttellyaguys.com';
$jsondata= httpGet($url);
$val_array = json_decode($jsondata, true);
echo'</br>';
echo'</br>';
//To print value salala (successful)
$print_salala=$val_array['name']['key1'];
echo'</br>';
echo'</br>';
//To print value hike & bike (successful)
$print_hike=$val_array['name']['key2']['inkey1'];
$print_bike=$val_array['name']['key2']['inkey3'];
echo'</br>';
echo'</br>';
//To print contents of key4. i.e, to print value nike (successful)
$print_nike=$val_array['name']['key4'];
echo'</br>';
echo'</br>';
//To print contents of inkey2 (Error)
//Incorrect value being printed.
$print_inkey2=$val_array['name']['key2']['inkey2'];
foreach($print_inkey2 as $key=>$value)
{
$sunny_leone=$value['@sunny']['@leone'];
echo $sunny_leone;
}
This foreach loop returns 3 as output...I am trying to print the contents, not the count.
//To print contents of key3 (Error)
//Incorrect value being printed.
echo'</br>';
echo'</br>';
$hero=$val_array['name']['key3'];
$count_hero=count($hero);
for($i=0;$i<$count_hero;$i++)
{
echo $hero[$i];
}
// Function Definition of httpGet
function httpGet($url)
{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
// curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
$output=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $output;
}
Why am I not being able to print contents of key3 & inkey2 ???
