Create foreach loop from JSON array

Question

I'm having problem with creating a foreach loop out of a JSON, I can't get the values out of the array correct, what am I doing wrong?

JSON:

[
{"Pages":{
 "name":"Name 1",
 "id":"3342939832994"
 }
},
{"Pages":{
 "name":"Name 2",
 "id":"289051164453763"
 }
}
]

PHP:

 $json = $_POST['Publish'];
 $json = $json->Pages
 foreach($json as $key => $items) {
 $id = $items->id; 
 $name = $items->id; 
 }

• John Dvorak: You forgot to json_decode the data. What's the next question?
• John Dvorak: Voting to close because "get the values out of the array correct" is not a problem description.
• Kim: Thanks, I tried json_decode, but then the string gives med "null"

Answer 1

Do it like this

$json = json_decode($_POST['Publish']);

json_decode - Takes a JSON encoded string and converts it into a PHP variable.

• Brad Christie: obligatory docs: json_decode. Also, depending, you may want to set $assoc = true

Answer 2

You can use this code

<?php
$array = json_decode($_POST['Publish'], true);
foreach($array as $item) {
 $id= $item['Pages']['id'];
 $name = $item['Pages']['name'];
 echo "id: $id <br/> name: $name <br/><br/>";
}
?>
