PHP - Post Data To Url And Get Response (json, Php ??)

Evening everyone and Merry X-Mas (Happy Holidays) or whatever fits you best....   I have been trying over and over for about 12 hours to figure out how to get data from a specific JSON response and assign the specific values to a new array key/value pair. The various ways I have tried to figure this out are  numerous so i'm going to avoid the runnig list of "I trieid this...and this...and this... etc etc." just understand I have reached a dead end point where I need help badly.   Here is what our end goal is:   "The company" is a "service industry" provider (plumbing, electrical etc. etc.) who wants to dispatch its technicians to new jobs based on which technician has the shortest travel time from any existing address where they already have a scheduled appointment that day and has available time in there schedule. Thus the dispatching system when a new service call is entered is going to give "recommended" technicians (up to 4) to be assigned the new service call based on the above mentioned criteria. (Efficient routing to save company gas cost)   1.) We have a "New service" street address assigned to the $to variable: $to = "4813 River Basin Dr S, Jacksonville FL 32207";
    2.) We will have "records" array which containes a series of records, each record consists of a ticket# a technician id# and a street address: $records = array(
array("DV1012","30453423","9890 Hutchinson Park Dr Jacksonville, FL 32225"),
array("DB3434","30404041","821 Orange Ave Crescent City, FL 32112"),
array("DB3434","30605060","1972 Wells Road, Orange Park FL 32073"),
array("DB4578","30605060","2 Independent Drive, Jacksonville FL 32202"),
array("DB7841","30605060","5000 Norwood Avenue, Jacksonville FL 32208"),
array("DB3235","30605060","9501 Arlington Expressway, Jacksonville FL 32225"),
array("DB7894","30605060","Massey Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32227"),
array("DB2020","30121212","11200 Central Pkwy Jacksonville, FL 32224")
                );   3.) We are going to prepare the records array for submission to Google's Distance Matrix API by URL encoding each array value into a single variable and then submit it:   foreach ($records as $key => $value) {$from = $from.urlencode($value[2])."|";} $to = urlencode($to);
$data = file_get_contents("//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=$from&destinations=$to&language=en-EN&units=imperial&mode=driving&sensor=false");
$res=json_decode($data) or die("Error: Cannot read object");
  You may look at the ACTUAL live Google response from this he http://tiny.cc/i6eerx  (We have applied <pre> and var_dump($res) to the output)   We are looking to get the following information back: The distance and travel time between the "New Service" address ($to) and each of the address' in the $records array ($from), now once that information is returned from Google (JSON response) we need to parse the response and narrow it down to 4 or less (Based on the 4 lowest drive times) to form a new array which ends like this:   $results = array(
array("DV1012","30453423","2.3 Miles","8 mins"),
array("DB3434","30404041","2.8 Miles","9 mins"),
array("DB3434","30605060","4.6 Miles","13.8 mins"),
array("DB4578","30605060","5.7 Miles","15.2 min")
                ); OUR PROBLEM: Everything up until the the Google API response is fine, but iterating over the multidimensional arrays within multidimensional arrays of the JSON response is just not coming together in my head (or 2 dozen code attempts). I am able to ECHO an individual value like ( echo $res->rows[0]->elements[0]->distance->text; ) but this has no value for the end result i need to get to. My last thoughts and efforts was that that I was going to have to embed foreach statements within foreach statements to drill down through the various arrays but that hasn't worked very well and it seems like it shouldn't be how it has to be done. I would appreciate any help in showing me how the iteration code should be written and any explanation about the code so i can wrap my head around it.

Hello.   I am new here.   I have a sligh problem, i saw a few results here which however did not lead to the desired result.   The problem is , i have this Json Response from a API:

Thank you in advance

I need to make my client's site distinguish among different tabs in the same browser. (See http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=357772.0 for background.)

I create a tab ID when the user first visits the site in a particular tab, and I'm passing it from page to page as a parameter. This seems to be the only way to do what I need.

The tab ID is always passed through POST so that the user won't see it. If it were visible, users could make trouble (or more likely get in trouble) by adding or removing the ID themselves.

This is not simple where a page is loaded by a hyperlink. The anchor tag passes parameters via GET, period.

The solution I found is to link to a script named post.php, which takes the real link target and the tab ID as parameters, sends the browser a form that passes the tab ID to the real link target via POST, and auto-submits the form via JavaScript.

This works, but it requires two round trips to the browser to load a page. It's also a pain to code.

Is there a more efficient way to do this... perhaps a way to make the server send the browser a POST response, even though it made a GET request?

If it matters, the server is Apache 2.x.

I'm a total noob at PHP, and need to make a simple authentication server-side script for a Java application that is in no way associated with the server. My Java app URL encodes in this format(pretty standard): "key1"="value1"
I THINK I have the correct code in PHP to read the HTTP POST data values...
Code: [Select]
$username = array("1", 2, 3, 4, 5);
$match = FALSE;
    foreach($_POST as $key1 => $value1){
foreach($username as $key2 => $value2){
if ($value1 == $value2){
$match = TRUE;
break;
}
}
if ($match = TRUE) break;
    }
After all this I'd like to send a response saying either TRUE or FALSE(in other words, I'd like to send the variable $match).
I've looked far and wide for how to do this in PHP, and couldn't find a single helpful page.

$post='{"cart_items":[{"configuration":{"price":100,"recharge_number":"9999999999"},"product_id":"999","qty":1}]}';

i try this n reslut was :There are no valid items in cart:   help me plz

How to extract data of "current_observation"

 

Thanks

I am also trying to extract the "address_components" from the JSON data, but the array index changes if you do not submit an address line for example.

I am trying to get the "sublocality" and "administrative_area_level_1" from the "address_components" below.

The API sample is as follows:

{
   "results" : [
      {
         "access_points" : [],
         "address_components" : [
            {
               "long_name" : "10",
               "short_name" : "10",
               "types" : [ "street_number" ]
            },
            {
               "long_name" : "Gillespie Street",
               "short_name" : "Gillespie St",
               "types" : [ "route" ]
            },
            {
               "long_name" : "South Beach",
               "short_name" : "South Beach",
               "types" : [ "political", "sublocality", "sublocality_level_1" ]
            },
            {
               "long_name" : "Durban",
               "short_name" : "Durban",
               "types" : [ "locality", "political" ]
            },
            {
               "long_name" : "Durban Metro",
               "short_name" : "Durban Metro",
               "types" : [ "administrative_area_level_2", "political" ]
            },
            {
               "long_name" : "KwaZulu-Natal",
               "short_name" : "KZN",
               "types" : [ "administrative_area_level_1", "political" ]
            },
            {
               "long_name" : "South Africa",
               "short_name" : "ZA",
               "types" : [ "country", "political" ]
            },
            {
               "long_name" : "4001",
               "short_name" : "4001",
               "types" : [ "postal_code" ]
            }
         ],
         "formatted_address" : "10 Gillespie St, South Beach, Durban, 4001, South Africa",
         "geometry" : {
            "location" : {
               "lat" : -29.859728,
               "lng" : 31.039773
            },
            "location_type" : "ROOFTOP",
            "viewport" : {
               "northeast" : {
                  "lat" : -29.8583790197085,
                  "lng" : 31.0411219802915
               },
               "southwest" : {
                  "lat" : -29.8610769802915,
                  "lng" : 31.0384240197085
               }
            }
         },
         "place_id" : "ChIJGRCdW0mo9x4RcIwU_7S1xa8",
         "plus_code" : {
            "compound_code" : "42RQ+4W Durban, South Africa",
            "global_code" : "5G2H42RQ+4W"
         },
         "types" : [ "street_address" ]
      }
   ],
   "status" : "OK"
}

If you submit a full address to the API, you can use the hard coded index like below: [7]

$json_a['results'][0]['address_components'][7]['long_name']

But it is not reliable to hard code the index [7] in this case.

So I tested some sample code from above post, it is working, but in some cases it does not return the "long_name" of the "sublocality" or "administrative_admin_level_1":

/* if no address, then the array index change */
//  $json_a['results'][0]['address_components'][7]['long_name']
$area = array();
foreach ($json_a['results'][0]['address_components'] as $addrObj) {
    foreach($addrObj['types'] as $type) {
         if (substr_count($type, 'sublocality')>0) {
             $area['short_name'] = $addrObj['short_name'];
             $area['long_name'] = $addObj['long_name'];
						  // var_dump($addrObj);
         } 
         if (substr_count($type, 'administrative_area_level_1')>0) {
             $area['short_admin'] = $addrObj['short_name'];
             $area['long_admin'] = $addObj['long_name'];
						  var_dump($addrObj);
         } 
    }
}

In the var_dump() I do get the long_name value though: In this sample it must be "Kwazulu-Natal", but from the code above, it returns a NULL value.

array(3) { ["long_name"]=> string(13) "KwaZulu-Natal" ["short_name"]=> string(3) "KZN" ["types"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(27) "administrative_area_level_1" [1]=> string(9) "political" } } 

Below is the full script I am trying to get to work. The lon, lng and format name is working 100%, it is just this array index problem.

/*  get google result in JSON*/
$googleString = file_get_contents($googleUrl); // get json content
$json_a = json_decode($googleString, true); //json decoder

// response status will be 'OK', if able to geocode given address 
if($json_a['status']=='OK'){
// get the important data
$lati = isset($json_a['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat']) ? $json_a['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat'] : "";
$longi = isset($json_a['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng']) ? $json_a['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng'] : "";
$formatted_address = isset($json_a['results'][0]['formatted_address']) ? $json_a['results'][0]['formatted_address'] : "";

/* if no address, then the array index change */
//  $json_a['results'][0]['address_components'][7]['long_name']
$area = array();
foreach ($json_a['results'][0]['address_components'] as $addrObj) {
    foreach($addrObj['types'] as $type) {
         if (substr_count($type, 'sublocality')>0) {
             $area['short_name'] = $addrObj['short_name'];
             $area['long_name'] = $addObj['long_name'];
						  // var_dump($addrObj);
         } 
         if (substr_count($type, 'administrative_area_level_1')>0) {
             $area['short_admin'] = $addrObj['short_name'];
             $area['long_admin'] = $addObj['long_name'];
						  var_dump($addrObj);
         } 
    }
}

Is there a better way to get the "sublocality" and "administrative_area_level_1" from the array $area array above. Any pointers will be much appreciated.

A HTTP request is made to the server, Slim creates a Request and Response object, content in the Request is sent to another server using cURL via Guzzle, Guzzle returns its own Response,  and content from Guzzle's response must be returned by the original Slim response.

Would you recommend white-listing or black-listing response headers, and which specific headers?

Similarly, would you recommend white-listing or black-listing the request headers sent via cURL, and which specific headers?

Thanks

So when I load my paginator it returns No Results Found. 1) My query is only returning 1 array entry, should be hundreds, maybe I'm not builing it correctly, 2) There is at least 1 array set but its still saying data not found.

Where am I going wrong here?

I am retrieving Google Books info in JSON format and displaying it inside a div. I would like to send the contents of this div (name, title, description) to my database using Ajax.   Currently only the ISBN field sends because I have it declared as a variable. However my question is, how do I send the other fields (name, title, author). How do I declare these also, I'm not sure what format they need to be in etc.   My JS

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit').click(function(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
var isbn = $('#isbn_search').val(); //get isbn direct from input
var url='https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q='+isbn;
$.getJSON(url,function(data){
$.each(data.items, function(entryIndex, entry){
var html = '<div class="results well">'; 
html += '<h3>' + entry.volumeInfo.title + '</h3>';
html += '<div class="author">' + entry.volumeInfo.authors + '</div>';
html += '<div class="description">' + entry.volumeInfo.description + '</div>';
}); 
});
});
});

My Ajax;

        $.ajax({
             type: 'POST',
             url: 'addIsbnScript.php',
             data: {
                 'isbn' : isbn,
                 'title' : title
                 'subtitle' : subtitle,
                 'authors' : authors,
                 'description' : description
             },
             success: function () { 
            $.growl({
            message: " Record added"
});      
}
});

Note, if i manually set the vars like below they all do successfully send to my database, so I know my query is working ok

var title = "some text",
var author = "some text",
Var description = "some text"

Thanks in advance for any help, newbie here (incase it wasn't obvious!).   J  

Hi,


I have a problem with some code not working.

I need it to get the data from a mysql database and then export it as a json array in the format of id , title, author, date, imageUrl, text. (Please not that these are all variables )

PHP CODE:
Code: [Select]
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';

$arr = array();
$rs = ("SELECT `id`, `title`, `author`, `date`, `imageUrl`, `text` FROM `items`");
 
while($obj = mysql_query($rs)) {
$arr[0] =  $obj->id;
$arr[1] =  $obj->title;
$arr[2] =  $obj->author;
$arr[3] =  $obj->date;
$arr[4] =  $obj->imageUrl;
$arr[5] =  $obj->text;
}
 
echo '{"items":'.json_encode($arr).'}';
?>

I am retrieving data from a third party's API using AJAX method. I would like to do two things.

1. Display the data records on a page.

2. Create a pagination on the page to display records more efficiently. I am expecting to retrieve possibly hundreds of records. I can normally do this using PHP but since I am retrieving the records using AJAX, the pagination is gonna be a challenge. 

First things first is to display the records. Here is my AJAX code.

It displays the log data fine. But it doesn't display any data in the "output" div. And it gives this error in the console.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token o in JSON at position 1
at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)
at Object.success

<div class="output"></div>

<script>
  $.ajax ({
    type: 'GET',
    url: "https://3rdpartywebsite.com/api/GetCustomers",
    dataType: 'json',
    processData: false,
    contentType: false,
    success: function(data) {
      console.log(data)

      $newData = JSON.parse(data);
      $.each($newData, function(i, v) {
         $('.output').append(v.LastName);
         $('.output').append(v.FirstName);
      });
    }
  });
</script>

I need to read json data inside an array. Please help correct my code.. i am trying to do an API.

This is more of a database architect question.   I am building a CMS for website development. I am ready to use it for the first time on one of my clients. Now, my issue is is how to set up some or one of my table(s) for some areas that my client wants to be able to change in the admin section.   In their website on the front page, I put together this nice block slider. Its 6 blocks with text, a background image and nice effects. At first it was always going to be static, which was no issue at all, but later they came to me and asked if they could be able to change words in the boxes themselves in the admin section..   Of course this can be easily done by creating a table that is associated with this home page block thing and each row in the table will correspond to one of the blocks on the home page.   But I believe there might be an easier way to store this type of data without having to create another table for every feature the client wants to edit, for example they also want to be able to edit a slider on another page.   The WordPress database then came into my mind and how they store most of their data as JSON. So I was then thinking of creating a table named 'modules' for examples with three columns (id, title, data). Then inside the data column store the editable fields as a JSON string object.   For example a row could like like :   1, "Front Page Box Slider", {"slider-home" : [ {"data" : "value", "img_1", "value1"}, {"data" : "value", "img_2", "value2"} ]}   I've been doing a bit of research on this and people have just been saying, never do this if you do want your data to be searched through, which I don't.   Can anyone tell me why or why not I should do this, or maybe a better solution to my problem?   Thank you
