JSON reply converted to Array shows no output when printed in PHP

This is the JSON reply I get for a query I make with an API for Flipkart. I wanted to print the productId and title from the API reply in search listing page I'm designing.

This is the php code I use to print the elements in the Array. But I don't seem to get any output.

$response is the reply I get from the API.

$array = json_decode($response, true);  $test1 = $array['productAttributes']['title'];  $test2 = $array['productInfoList']['productBaseInfo']['productIdentifier']['productId'];        echo $test1;      echo test2;

Answer by T.J. Crowder for JSON reply converted to Array shows no output when printed in PHP

Look closely at the JSON, and you'll see that productInfoList is an object with a property called productBaseInfo whose value is an array of objects (e.g., [....], although it only has one entry), each of which has properties like productBaseInfo.

So to see the first (only) entry's productBaseInfo.productIdentifier.productId, you'd want:

$test2 = $array['productInfoList'][0]['productBaseInfo']['productIdentifier']['productId'];  // Note --------------------------^^^

Answer by Kroonal for JSON reply converted to Array shows no output when printed in PHP

Use below code. It gives you title and ProductID $array = json_decode($string, true);

$test1 = $array['productInfoList'][0]['productBaseInfo']['productAttributes']['title']; $test2 = $array['productInfoList'][0]['productBaseInfo']['productIdentifier']['productId'];

echo $test1;  echo $test2;

Answer by Ghulam Ali for JSON reply converted to Array shows no output when printed in PHP

In JSON { denotes and Object and [ denotes an Array. To get all the Attributes you can use something like this:

$array = json_decode($response, true);  $productInfoList_Array = $array['productInfoList'];  foreach($productInfoList_Array as $productInfoList){      $productBaseInfo = $productInfoList['productBaseInfo'];      $productAttributes = $productBaseInfo['productAttributes'];      foreach($productAttributes as $Attribute_Key => $Attribute_Value){          if (!is_array($Attribute_Value)){              //Attribute Value is not an array.              echo "{$Attribute_Key}: {$Attribute_Value}";              echo "
";          }else{              //Attribute Value is a sub array              foreach($Attribute_Value as $Attribute_Sub_Key => $Attribute_Sub_Value){                  echo "Sub Key: {$Attribute_Sub_Key}: {$Attribute_Sub_Value}";                  echo "
";                              }          }      }      echo "
End of Product.";  }

See that productAttributes has sub array also.

Answer by Vincent for JSON reply converted to Array shows no output when printed in PHP

You should first loop through the array values(decoded from json), and then fetch the needed data accordingly, do something like this -

$array = json_decode($r, true);  // print_r($array); //debug  foreach($array['productInfoList'] as $product){     echo  $product['productBaseInfo']['productAttributes']['title'];     echo $product['productBaseInfo']['productIdentifier']['productId'];  }

Answer by Karthik for JSON reply converted to Array shows no output when printed in PHP

Remove all single quote. Try this.

             print_r($array['productInfoList'][0]['productBaseInfo']['productIdentifier']);       print_r($array['productInfoList'][0]['productBaseInfo']['productAttributes']['title']);      ?>
