I have a Json file $championsList that skips a bunch numbers in its indexes. For example, $championsList["data"][46] doesn't exist and towards the bottom it skips from 268 to 412. There's a bunch more scattered throughout.

I tried writing a for loop to iterate through the ["data"] index as a test.

for($i=1; $i <= sizeof($championsList["data"]; $i++) {
    echo $championsList["data"][$i]["key"];
    }

The problem with this is, the size of the ["data"] index is 136, so when it gets to the end of the loop it does echo $championsList["data"][136]["key"]; and stops, skipping everything with a number higher than 136 because it also iterates through indexes that don't exist likeecho $championsList["data"][$46]["key"];

I know I can just do

for($i=1; $i <= 498; $i++) {
    echo ...
}

but that seems pretty inefficient and I'd have to keep adjusting it when new characters are added to the game

How can I make it so that it iterates and skips all of the missing numbers?

The Json file:

You want foreach, which will consider each element regardless of its index: http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php

foreach($championsList["data"] as $champion) {
    echo $champion["key"];
}

  • Worked perfectly! Thanks man. I also noticed that the list is now in a random order, which is fine. I just found it interesting. Thanks again! – ChrisFromCali May 30 '17 at 03:14

another way is to use foreach loop ..

foreach($championsList["data"] as $key => $val) {
    echo $key;
    var_dump($val);
}
