I'm building an API for an iOS app and trying to get the mySQL data into a JSON string for processing. The desired output would require top level order details like customer name and address and then a sub array of products ordered.
There are quite a few fields in both tables i need and it i'm hoping to have all fields. I've built a script to do this, but the output is reporting as malformed in a JSON validator.
Here's my code:
$orders = $db->get_results("SELECT ords.serial as ID, cust.title, cust.name, cust.surname, cust.address, cust.address2, cust.town, cust.county, cust.postcode, cust.phone, cust.height, cust.weight, cust.houseType, cust.parking, cust.access, ords.furnitureRem, ords.furnitureRemDetails, ords.comments FROM orders as ords JOIN customers as cust ON ords.customerid = cust.serial JOIN order_detail as odeet ON ords.serial = odeet.orderid JOIN `user` as us ON us.id = ords.user_id WHERE us.id='".$_REQUEST['userID']."' GROUP BY ords.serial ORDER BY cust.serial DESC");
$json_response = array(); //Create an array
foreach ( $orders as $row )
{
$row_array = array();
$row_array[] = $row;
$ord_id = $row->ID;
$orders2 = $db->get_results("SELECT * FROM order_detail as ord
JOIN products as prod ON ord.productid = prod.id
WHERE ord.orderid = ".$ord_id);
foreach ( $orders2 as $vorder2 ) {
{
$row_array['products'][] = $vorder2;
}
array_push($json_response, $row_array); //push the values in the array
}
echo json_encode($json_response);
}
The current output is like this:
Here's the RAW output, by request:

I'm just stumped with this one. Or am I going to need to itemise each field in the dataset for this to output a clean JSON?
