PHP For Each value in object [duplicate]

Question

im working on a project but I ran into a problem :( I looked on the internet for like 2-3 hours and cannot find the way how to do it...

I retrieve this JSON from my database:

{
"articles": {
    "1": {"discription":"Transport", "tax":"21", "price":"234"
    },
    "2": {"discription":"Opslag", "tax":"19", "price":"19"}
    }
}

What I want to do next is retrieve the description,tax & Price from each object, how to do this with a for each loop on the most efficient way?

Thanks!

You can use following code snippet to get value of mentioned keys-

<?php

$str         = '{
        "articles": {
            "1": {"discription":"Transport", "tax":"21", "price":"234"
            },
            "2": {"discription":"Opslag", "tax":"19", "price":"19"}
            }
        }';
//convert json to array
$jsonToArray = json_decode($str, true);
foreach ($jsonToArray['articles'] as $value) {
    echo $value['discription'] . ' ' . $value['tax'] . ' ' . $value['price'] . PHP_EOL;
}

if you want to access those keys with object then you can proceed with following code snippet-

<?php

$str          = '{
        "articles": {
            "1": {"discription":"Transport", "tax":"21", "price":"234"
            },
            "2": {"discription":"Opslag", "tax":"19", "price":"19"}
            }
        }';
//convert json to object
$jsonToObject = json_decode($str);
foreach ($jsonToObject->articles as $value) {
    echo $value->discription . ' ' . $value->tax . ' ' . $value->price . PHP_EOL;
}

You are free to make changes in the echo statement that suits your requirement. Checkout my all the technical post.

$array = json_decode($json_string);
for($i = 0; $i<sizeof($array); $i++) {
  echo $array[$i]['description'];
  echo $array[$i]['tax'];
  echo $array[$i]['price'];
}

You are looking for the json_decode function before you do that, here's an example:

$jsonDecoded = json_decode($jsonInput);

foreach ($jsonDecoded->articles as $item) {
   echo $item->discription . "<br>";
   echo $item->tax . "<br>";
   echo $item->price . "<br>";
}
