I can read text from a web server and print it to the Xcode uilabel, but I don't know how to parse a returning array. I am trying to get a and b from the server, add them, and print to uilabel using Swift 3.
This is the PHP and Xcode 8:
connect-add.php
<?php
$a=3;
$b=5;
$data=array($a,$b);
echo json_encode($data);
?>
Xcode 8
import UIKit
import Foundation
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var a=0
var b=0
var c=0
@IBOutlet weak var result: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a
nib.
}
@IBAction func getVars(_ sender: AnyObject) {
// set label during request
self.result.text="WAITING"
// send request to connect-add.php and retrieve a and b
let myUrl = NSURL(string: "http://www.example.com/connect-add.php")
var request = URLRequest(url:URL(string:
"http://www.example.com/connect-add.php")!)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let postString = ""
request.httpBody = postString.data(using: .utf8);
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) {
data, response, error in
if error != nil
{
print("error=\(error)")
return
}
// receive response to connect-add and parse to a and b
var response = String(data: data!, encoding: .utf8)
var a=response[0]
var b=response[1]
// add a and b and display
var c=a+b
self.result.text=c
}
task.resume()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
Xcode gives me an error for setting var a=response[0] and for setting var b=response[1]. Any ideas?
I have editted PHP and Xcode to add JSON Serialization parsing. Xcode is showing one error--Use of unresolved identifier "JSON". Here is the code.
PHP
<?php
$a=3;
$b=5;
$data="a1=".$a.", b1=".$b;
echo json_encode($data);
?>
Xcode 8
import UIKit
import Foundation
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var a=0
var b=0
var c=0
@IBOutlet weak var result: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a
nib.
}
@IBAction func getVars(_ sender: AnyObject) {
// set label during request
self.result.text="WAITING"
// send request to connect-add.php and retrieve a and b
let myUrl = NSURL(string: "http://www.example.com/connect-add.php")
var request = URLRequest(url:URL(string:
"http://www.example.com/connect-add.php")!)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let postString = ""
request.httpBody = postString.data(using: .utf8);
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) {
data, response, error in
if error != nil
{
print("error=\(error)")
return
}
// receive response to connect and parse to a and b
var response = String(data: data!, encoding: .utf8)
var obj=JSON.parse(response)
var a=obj.a1
var b=obj.b1
// add a and b and display
var c=a+b
self.result.text=c
}
task.resume()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
