Question

I have a text file which displays all the records in datatables correctly but I want to display only the records with “ram”. For example:

{ "aaData": [
["ram","india"],
["siva","india"],
["mani","india"],
["ram","india"],
["ram","india"]
] }

I am using PHP and Symfony1.3. Please help me.

Answer 1

try this :

$json_str = '{ "aaData": [
["ram","india"],
["siva","india"],
["mani","india"],
["ram","india"],
["ram","india"]
] }
';
$array = json_decode($json_str, true); 
$entries_with_ram = array();
foreach($array['aaData']  as $entry)
    if($entry[0] == "ram")
        $entries_with_ram[] = $entry;

print_r($entries_with_ram);
