Question

JSON FEED:

    {
        "Group": [
          {
             "name": "HolderOne",
            "operators": [
            {
                "username": "ken",
                "status": 3
            },
     .....etc.....

CODE:

 <?php 
 $json = file_get_content('path to feed');
 $data=json_decode($json); 

 echo $data->cGroup[0]->operators[0]->username; //WORKS!

 if (is_array($data->Group->operators))
  { foreach($data->Group->operators as $operator) 
     {if($operator->username == "ken") {echo $operator->status;}} 
  } else { echo 'NOT AN ARRAY'; } //DOESNT WORK - DISPLAYS NOT AN ARRAY
 ?>

I am trying to say if the username is Ken (or whatever I specify when I code more) display the correspoding status.

So…

  echo $data->Group[0]->operators[0]->username; //WORKS!

but…

    foreach($data->Group->operators as $operator) {if($operator->username == "ken") {echo $operator->status;}} 

…doesn’t – probably something obvious, but can anyone see my problem?

Cheers

Answer 1

It would have to be $data->Group[0]->operators, or loop through the Groups and have another loop inside…

foreach($data->Group as $group){
    foreach($group->operators as $operator){
        if($operator->username == "ken") {echo $operator->status;}
    }
}
