How to access multidimensional data from a json file?


I fetch students from $content= file_get_contents( '.../student.json')

$content= file_get_contents( '.../student.json');
$info = json_encode($content,true);

print_r($info);

when i try print_r($info) I have array like this:

 Array 
   (   [ID] => 1575 
[Header] => Array 

        ( 
[CreateDate] => 2017-04-01T05:41:46.2653231+02:00 
[CreateUser] => [Country] => 105
[CountryName] => Array ( [Caption] => Country [Value] => UK ) 
[CountryCode] => Array ( [Caption] => [Value] => )
[Nationality] => [NationalityNo] => 23509 [StudentNo] => 1001 
[ConfirmStatus] => Confirmed 
[Language] => EN [TotalArea] => 100
        )

   )

How to view all student's value?


Solution

  • don't use encoding on already encoded data, but decode it and print in a loop by usnig foreach

    $content = file_get_contents( '.../student.json');
    $info = json_decode($content,true); //<== note decode not encode
    
    foreach ($info as $key => $value) {
        echo '<hr>' . PHP_EOL;
        echo 'KEY: ' . $key . '<br>' . PHP_EOL;
        print_r($value);
    }
    

    you may also use var_dump instead of print_f here you have one array that has two arrays inside [1,2] and ["a","b"]:

    $test = [[1,2],["a","b"]];
    var_dump($test);
    

    that outputs

    array(2) {
      [0] =>
      array(2) {
        [0] =>
        int(1)
        [1] =>
        int(2)
      }
      [1] =>
      array(2) {
        [0] =>
        string(1) "a"
        [1] =>
        string(1) "b"
      }
    }
