I get the information from the database. For example, my database data is as follows: I get the information from the database. For example, my database data is as follows:
-------------------------------------------------
p_id | description_name | description_value |
-------------------------------------------------
1 | author | X1 |
-------------------------------------------------
1 | editor | X2 |
-------------------------------------------------
2 | author | Y1 |
-------------------------------------------------
3 | author | Z1 |
-------------------------------------------------
3 | editor | Z2 |
------------------------------------------------- ...
So in the php code section I use this method to get descriptions
:
<?php
...
$result5 = mysqli_query($conn,"SELECT * FROM `descriptions` ");
while ($row5 = $result5 ->fetch_assoc()){
$des[] = [(int) $row5['p_id'] ,[ $row5['description_name'] => $row5['description_value']] ] ;
}
echo json_encode( $des);
?>
this is the output of this code:
[[1,{"author": "X1"}],[1,{"editor": "X2"}],[2,{"author": "Y1"}],[3,{"author": "Z1"}],[3,{"editor": "Z2"}],[ ...
But, my expected output is, like this:
[{"p_id" : 1,"author": "X1","editor": "X2"},{"p_id" : 2, "author": "Y1"},{"p_id" : 3,"author": "Z1","editor": "Z2"},{...
I hope that with your guidance this problem will be solved for me, Thank You...
What this code does is index your output by the p_id
value, then if there is not already some data there, it just adds a new element with the p_id
.
It then adds in the data with the description_name
and description_value
elements...
In the json_encode()
it uses array_values()
to remove the index used to build the data...
$des = [];
while ($row5 = $result5 ->fetch_assoc()){
if ( !isset ($des[$row5['p_id']])){
$des[$row5['p_id']] = ["p_id" => (int)$row5['p_id']];
}
$des[$row5['p_id']][$row5['description_name']] = $row5['description_value'] ;
}
echo json_encode(array_values( $des ));
with some test data, this gives (plus formatting)...
[
{
"p_id": 1,
"editor": "X2",
"author": "Y1"
},
{
"p_id": 2,
"editor": "X2"
}
]
