I converted an array to JSON, how do I get the value of the slug from it?
{
"230": {
"term_id": 230,
"name": "Executive Committee",
"slug": "executive_committee",
"term_group": 0,
"term_taxonomy_id": 241,
"taxonomy": "team_member_filter",
"description": "",
"parent": 0,
"count": 1,
"object_id": 1561,
"filter": "raw"
}
}
Of course the first value "230" is different for each instance. How do I access the "slug" value for each instance inside of my loop?
I originally had this array in $variable
:
Array (
[230] => stdClass Object (
[term_id] => 230
[name] => Executive Committee
[slug] => executive_committee
[term_group] => 0
[term_taxonomy_id] => 241
[taxonomy] => team_member_filter
[description] =>
[parent] => 0
[count] => 1
[object_id] => 1561
[filter] => raw
)
)
Why does $variable['slug']
not return anything?
Use json_decode()
and then you can access like an array:
$items = json_decode($variable, true); // 'true' here makes the json an associative array
foreach($items AS $item) {
echo $item['slug']; // because it is associative you can access each value by name
}
This echos executive_committee
for the JSON you provided above.
From the original array ($variable
)you would do the same thing:
foreach($variable AS $item) {
echo $item->slug; // because you have an object, not an array
}
