I am working on a Jira project and I am returning a data from API query. The data is json_encode format.
I am having problem with access an array inside an array.
Here’s the json_encode data that I am working.

Here’s my snippet PHP code to access the record and print.
foreach ($json_output->issues as $issues) {
echo "{$issues->key}";
echo "{$issues->fields->summary}";
echo "{$issues->fields->created}";
echo "{$issues->fields->reporter->name}";
}
Now when I want to access the customfield_11054 so I could print the list of servers
server1, server2, server3, server4, server5, server6, server7, server8, server9, server10,
server11, server12, server13
so I add this
foreach ($json_output->issues as $issues) {
echo "{$issues->key}";
echo "{$issues->fields->summary}";
echo "{$issues->fields->created}";
echo "{$issues->fields->reporter->name}";
echo "{$issues->fields->customfield_11054}";
}
But I am getting result as an array.
print_r($issues->fields->customfield_11054);It IS an array, which is why it says it’s an array. If you wanted to get the values you’d have to wrap another foreach there:
foreach ($json_output->issues as $issues) { echo $issues->key; echo $issues->fields->summary; echo $issues->fields->created; echo $issues->fields->reporter->name; foreach($issues->fields->customfield_11054 as $customField) { echo $customField; } }Also, as a side note you don’t need to put your variables in “{}” to print them out. They’re strings, so just using
echo $variable;will work just fine (as I’ve put in the above snippit).
