PHP JSON Decoding To Array To Grab Specific Key Va

Question

I am pulling JSON data from an API URL. The problem: Under FL there are duplicate KEYS: "val" and "content". I only need to pull specific KEYS.

Please excuse me if my formatting is not correct to SO standards.*

My question is posted below the json and code.

JSON FROM URL

        "result": {
            "Leads": {

Answer 1

you just need to maintain an array where you can provide all the options you want to fetch and check that in the loop like in the example below.

$url = 'URL';
$data = file_get_contents($url);
$parsed = json_decode($data, true);

$eachEntry = $parsed['response']['result']['Leads']['row'];

$required = ['First Name','Last Name','Street','City','State','Zip Code'];

foreach ($eachEntry as $entry) {

    $FL = $entry['no'];

    //printf('%s'.PHP_EOL, $FL);
    printf("\n");

    $entries = $entry['FL'];

    foreach ($entries as $value) {

        if(!in_array($value['val'],$required))
            continue;

        $val = $value['val'];

        $content = $value['content'];

        $out = $val." ".$content;

        printf('%s'.PHP_EOL, $out);
        printf("\n");
   } 

}

Answer 2

Just write the code to do what you describe. Simply don't print them if they're not in the list of fields you want.

$valuesIWant = ["First Name", "Last Name", "Street", "City", "State", "Zip Code"];

foreach ($eachEntry as $entry) {

    $FL = $entry['no'];

    //printf('%s'.PHP_EOL, $FL);
    printf("\n");

    $entries = $entry['FL'];

    foreach ($entries as $value) {

        $val = $value['val'];

        $content = $value['content'];

        if (in_array($val, $valuesIWant)) {
            $out = $val." ".$content;

            printf('%s'.PHP_EOL, $out);
            printf("\n");
        }

    } 
}
