Question

I’ve been stuck with a problem with JSON and PHP for a while now. I have a JSON object like:

{"statistics":[{"name":"someName"},{"name":"someName2"}]}

The problem is that someName sometimes takes someNames2‘s playce and reverse, but I only want to show someName2. How do I do that? =(

Answer 1

You can use array_filter to filter the json array where name = someName2 .. this way someName2 position would not matter …

$json = '{"statistics":[{"name":"someName"},{"name":"someName2"}]}' ;
$array = json_decode($json,true);

$f = "someName2"; // What to find
$k = "name" ;  // Filed Name

$array = array_filter($array['statistics'],function($v)use($f,$k){ var_dump($v);return $v[$k] == $f;});
var_dump($array);
