PHP get info from JSON array

Question

I have this JSON array in a separate file on my server:

data = '[{"name" : "AAA", "year" : "1999", "plot" : "BBB", "run" : "194 min", "rated" : "PG-13", "score" : "7.7/10", "source" : "DDD", "id" : "000000"}]';

how would you with PHP get the "name" (AAA) in the array?

Sorry if im missing anything, just starting out with PHP and JSON.

Did you try to get this value from file ? share your code please ? — Niklesh Raut, Mar 19 '16 at 08:37

In PHP, you can get name from json response as:

// your json response
$string = '[{"name" : "AAA", "year" : "1999", "plot" : "BBB", "run" : "194 min", "rated" : "PG-13", "score" : "7.7/10", "source" : "DDD", "id" : "000000"}]';

$encoded = json_decode($string,TRUE);
print_r($encoded); // complete array
echo $encoded[0]['name']; // print AAA

$data = '[{"name" : "AAA", "year" : "1999", "plot" : "BBB", "run" : "194 min", "rated" : "PG-13", "score" : "7.7/10", "source" : "DDD", "id" : "000000"}]';

$data_array = json_decode($data);
var_dump(current($data_array)->name);

Is this what you wanted ?

If you have some data in JSON format and you want to refer any one of them . You can use following methods depending on your programming language :-

PHP :-

$data =  '[{"name" : "AAA", "year" : "1999", "plot" : "BBB", "run" : "194 min", "rated" : "PG-13", "score" : "7.7/10", "source" : "DDD", "id" : "000000"}]';
$parsedData = json_decode($data,TRUE);

Now $parsedData is an array and you can access values using key like as

foreach($parsedData as $key => $value)
{
     $name = $value['name'];
}

JavaScript :-

data =  '[{"name" : "AAA", "year" : "1999", "plot" : "BBB", "run" : "194 min", "rated" : "PG-13", "score" : "7.7/10", "source" : "DDD", "id" : "000000"}]';
var parsedData = JSON.parse(data);
var dataCount = parseData.length,index;
for(index = 0 ; index < dataCount ; i++)
{
     var name = parsedData[index]['name']; 
     // var name = parsedData[index].name;  // or 
}
