How to access json data in php?

I have complex json data. It can be in either formats as below :
1. {"Physics":{"5b87ceb691":"Motion","5b87ce3e":"Mass"}} //where value itself is a json
2. {"a60a8001805":"Finish chapter 1","a60a8002ab0":"Finish assignments"} //simple key value pair
I want to create checkboxes for all values (Motion, Mass, Finish chapter 1, Finish assignments for above examples) and keys should come like text in between those checkboxes (Physics for above example) (Key should come like text only if it's value is a json object, since Physics's value is a json, Physics should show like a text and in example 2, since there are no such keys whose value is a json object, no key will show like a text).
I've implemented this in javascript in the following way :
var str = "";
if(Object.keys(data).length !== 0) {
var i = 1;
for (var key in data) {
if (data.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
var val = data[key];
if(typeof val == 'object') {
str += '<div class = "data_text hidden">' + key + '</div>';
for (var subKey in val) {
if (val.hasOwnProperty(subKey)) {
var subValue = val[subKey];
str += '<div class="db-checkbox data_options hidden"><input type="checkbox" name="abc" id="' + i + '"><label for="' + i + '">' + subValue + '</label></div>'
i += 1;
}
}
} else {
str += '<div class="db-checkbox data_options hidden"><input type="checkbox" name="abc" id="' + i + '"><label for="' + i + '">' + val + '</label></div>'
i += 1;
}
}
}
Now, I want to do the same in php. I searched to find out the way to access json data in php, but all of those works only when keys are known. (For example, data->a60a8002ab0) But I want to do this generically. Don't want to hardcode anything. How can I do this? Thank you.

Try json_decode in associative mode by passing in the second param true so that it returns an associative array that you can loop through, similar to your javascript code.

//try each of the following by comment/uncomment
//$myjson = '{"Physics":{"5b87ceb691":"Motion","5b87ce3e":"Mass"}}';
//$myjson = '{"a60a8001805":"Finish chapter 1","a60a8002ab0":"Finish assignments"}';
$myjson = '{"a60a8001805":"Finish chapter 1","a60a8002ab0":"Finish assignments","Physics":{"5b87ceb691":"Motion","5b87ce3e":"Mass"}}';
$json_md_ary = json_decode($myjson,true);
$i=1;
foreach($json_md_ary as $key=>$val){
if (is_array($val)){
echo $key, "<br>";
foreach($val as $k=>$v){
echo $k, ' => ' ,$v,'<input type="checkbox" name="abc" id="'.$i.'">',"<br>";
$i++;
}
}else{
echo $key, ' => ' ,$val,'<input type="checkbox" name="abc" id="'.$i.'">',"<br>";
$i++;
}
}

$jsondata = '{"Physics":{"5b87ceb691":"Motion","5b87ce3e":"Mass"}}';
$data = json_decode($jsondata);
foreach($data as $key => $val){
print_r($val);
}

How to add data from database into object in php for temporary using while loading

I am new in php . I have the following code to retrieve categorytype data from database?. I want to add them into php object for temporary using while loading page. First, I want to load all predefined data, then i will use it when i click function. Could you enlighten me how to create it
categoryDao.php
namespace category;
use Exception;
use PDO;
class categoryDao{
public function categorytype(PDO $connection){
$conn = $connection;
try {
$conn = $connection;
$sql="SELECT * FROM `tb_category` WHERE id != parent_id;";
$categorytype = $conn->prepare($sql);
$categorytype->execute();
$data1 = array();
while (
$result = $categorytype->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$data1[] = $result['id'];
$data1[] = $result['c_name'];
}
return $data1;
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e;
throw $e;
}
}
}
categoryservice.php
use category\categoryDao;
require '../dao/categoryDao.php';
require 'Dao.php';
class categoryService{
public function categorytype(){
$dao = new Dao();
$conn= $dao->connect();
$conn->beginTransaction();
$categoryDao = new categoryDao();
//$data1 = array();
$data1=$categoryDao->categorytype($conn);
return $data1;
$dao->disconnect($conn);
}
}
categorytypecontroller.php
<?php
require '../service/categoryService.php';
require '../service/categoryService.php';
$categoryname = #trim(stripslashes($_POST['category']));
$category = new categoryService();
//$ctype = array();
$ctype = $category->categorytype();
$return["json"] = json_encode($ctype);
echo $return["json"];
Head.php
function categorytype() {
//var hosname =window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.hostname + window.location.pathname;
var hosname1 = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.hostname+ "/servicegateway/sgw/modules/controller/categorytypecontroller.php";
alert (hosname1);
//var ur = hosname + "/modules/controller/categorycontroller.php";
$.ajax({
url:hosname1 , //the page containing php script
type: "POST", //request type,
dataType: 'json',
data: '',
success:function(data1){
alert(data1);
var obj =data1;
// var leng = Object.keys(obj).length;
var areaOption = "<option value=''>Select Category </option>";
for (var i = 0; i < obj.length; i++) {
areaOption += '<option value="' + obj[i] + '">' + obj[i] + '</option>'
}
$("#c_type").html(areaOption);
}
});
}

A couple of things. If you want the data to be an array of records, you'll probably want to change this part:
while ($result = $categorytype->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$data1[] = $result['id'];
$data1[] = $result['c_name'];
}
as that is putting all the fields, one after the other, into a normal array.
while ($result = $categorytype->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
$data1[] = array(
'id' => $result['id'],
'c_name' => $result['c_name']
);
}
That will create a small associative array of the id and name fields and put it into another array, with the other records. PHP associative arrays will turn into Javascript objects when sent via ajax.
Then, in Javascript, you'll want to make use of those objects to create your options, so:
areaOption += '<option value="' + obj[i].id + '">' + obj[i].c_name + '</option>'

How to use Angular.js to populate multiple select fields using AJAX calls to different endpoints

I apologize up front for the possible lack of clarity for this question, but I'm new to Angular.js and my knowledge of it is still slightly hazy. I have done the Angular.js tutorial and googled for answers, but I haven't found any.
I have multiple select/option html elements, not inside a form element, and I'm populating them using AJAX. Each form field is populated by values from a different SharePoint list. I'm wondering if there is a way to implement this using Angular.js?
I would like to consider building this using Angular because I like some of it features such as data-binding, routing, and organizing code by components. But I can't quite grasp how I could implement it in this situation while coding using the DRY principle.
Currently, I have a single AJAX.js file and I have a Javascript file that contains an array of the different endpoints I need to connect to along with specific query parameters. When my page loads, I loop through the arrays and for each element, I call the GET method and pass it the end-point details.
The code then goes on to find the corresponding select element on the page and appends the option element returned by the ajax call.
I'm new to Angular, but from what I understand, I could create a custom component for each select element. I would place the component on the page and all the select and options that are associated with that component would appear there. The examples I've seen demonstrated, associate the ajax call with the code for the component. I'm thinking that I could use a service and have each component dependent on that service and the component would pass it's specific query details to the service's ajax call.
My current code - Program flow: main -> data retrieval -> object creation | main -> form build.
Called from index.html - creates the multiple query strings that are passed to ajax calls - ajax calls are once for each query string - the very last function in the file is a call to another function to build the form elements.
var snbApp = window.snbApp || {};
snbApp.main = (function () {
var main = {};
main.loadCount = 0;
main.init = function () {
function buildSelectOptions(){
//***
//Build select options from multiple SharePoint lists
//***
var listsArray = snbApp.splistarray.getArrayOfListsForObjects();
for(var i = 0; i < listsArray.length; i++){
var listItem = listsArray[i];
var qryStrng = listItem.list +
"?$select=" + listItem.codeDigits + "," + listItem.codeDescription + "," + listItem.ItemStatus + "&$orderby=" + listItem.codeDescription + "&$filter="+listItem.ItemStatus+" eq true" + "&$inlinecount=allpages"
var listDetails = {
listName: listItem.list,
listObj: listItem,
url: "http://myEnv/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/" + listItem.list +
"?$select=" + listItem.codeDigits + "," + listItem.codeDescription + "," + listItem.ItemStatus + "&$orderby=" + listItem.codeDescription + "&$filter="+listItem.ItemStatus+" eq true" + "&$inlinecount=allpages"
};
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(snbApp.dataretriever.letsBuild(listDetails), _onQueryFailed);
}
//***
//Build select option from other API endpoint
//***
var listDetails = {
listName:"SNB_SecondaryActivityCodes",
url: "http://myEnv/requests/odata/v1/Sites?$filter=(IsMajor eq true or IsMinor eq true) and IsActive eq true and IsPending eq false and CodePc ne null and IsSpecialPurpose eq false&$orderby=CodePc"
};
snbApp.dataretriever.letsBuild(listDetails);
}
buildSelectOptions();
//***
//Add delay to populate fields to ensure all data retrieved from AJAX calls
//***
var myObj = setTimeout(delayFieldPopulate,5000);
function delayFieldPopulate(){
var optObj = snbApp.optionsobj.getAllOptions();
var osType = $("input[name=os_platform]:checked").val();
snbApp.formmanager.buildForm(osType, optObj);
}
};
function _onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed.\nError: ' + args.get_message() + '\nStackTrace: ' + args.get_stackTrace());
}
return main
})();
AJAX calls here - called from main/previous file:
var snbApp = window.snbApp || {};
snbApp.dataretriever = (function () {
var listsArray = snbApp.splistarray.getArrayOfListsForObjects();
function getListData(listItem) {

var baseURL = listItem.url;
$.ajax({
url: baseURL,
type: "GET",
headers: {
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
}
})
.done(function(results){
snbApp.objectbuilderutility.buildObjectFields(results, listItem);
})
.fail(function(xhr, status, errorThrown){
//console.log("Error:" + errorThrown + ": " + myListName);
});
}
function _onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed.\nError: ' + args.get_message() + '\nStackTrace: ' + args.get_stackTrace());
}
return{
letsBuild:function(item) {
getListData(item);
}
};
})();

How to store multiple drop down values inside a variable?

So I have this javascript function that loops through each user account and displays them in a drop-down menu. When the user selects an option from the drop-down menu, it takes the Iban number as its main id which is stored in ddlAccountFrom. Is there a way how I can store two values when the user selects an option, like for instance the Iban and Currency into separate variables?
function getAccountFrom() {
var username = $("#hiddenUsername").val();
var url = "http://localhost:63723/api/BankAccountsApi/GetBankAccounts/?username=" + username + "&id=2";
$.getJSON(url, function (data) {
var table = "<select id=\"ddlAccountFrom\">";
table += "<option value=\"-1\">Select an Account</option>";
$.each(data, function (key, val) {
table += "<option value=\"" + val.Iban + "\">" + val.Iban + " | " + val.Currency + " | " + val.Balance + "</option>";
});
table += "</select>";
$('#divAccountFrom').html(table);
});
}
I am using the ddlAccountFrom in this function..
function Transfer() {
var accountFrom = $("#ddlAccountFrom").val();
var accountTo = $("#txtAccountTo").val();
var amount = $("#txtAmount").val();
var url = "http://localhost:63723/api/BankAccountsApi/TransferFunds/?
ibanFrom=" + accountFrom + "&ibanTo=" + accountTo + "&amount=" + amount;
$.getJSON(url, function (data) {
alert(data);
})
.error (function () {
alert("Not enough balance! The amount entered exceed the balance found in this account. Please try again.");
})
}

You can use the data-custom attribute, like this:
table += "<option value=\"" + val.Iban + "\" data-currency=\"" + val.Currency + "\">" + val.Iban + " | " + val.Currency + " | " + val.Balance + "</option>";
To access variable see jquery-cant-get-data-attribute-value
So you can read:
var selectedCurrency= $("#ddlAccountFrom :selected").data('currency');

You could :
Concatenate your 2 data in 1 string with a separator (for ex myIban#myCurrency) and then split your value to get back your 2 distinct data
Listen to your dropdown changes, for example adding a onchange=updateData(val.Iban, val.Currency) attribute to your option html, and in your js :
var currentIban, currentCurrency;
function updateData(iban, currency) {
currentIban = iban;
currentCurrency = currency;
}
Add a data-custom attribute, like data-currency or data-iban

Can I save multiple JavaScript Object methods as a variable?

I am writing an extension for a text-editor (Brackets) that can generate HTML and append libraries automatically in the HTML.
I have an Object called 'choice'.
This modal requests the users input:
choice grabs the user's input by defining methods on choice
partial JS here:
var choice = new Object();
choice.language = function () {
//Buid HTML top 'head'
var htmlTop = "<!DOCTYPE html>" + "<html>" + "<head lang='";
//Grab Selected Language Type
var languageChoice = document.getElementById("languages").value;
//Determine what Selected Language type is and complete HTML 'head'
if (languageChoice === "english") {
languageChoice = "en";
return htmlTop + languageChoice + "'>";
} else if (languageChoice === "german") {
languageChoice = "de";
return htmlTop + languageChoice + "'>";
} else if (languageChoice === "spanish") {
languageChoice = "es";
return htmlTop + languageChoice + "'>";
} else if (languageChoice === "french") {
languageChoice = "fr";
return htmlTop + languageChoice + "'>";
} else if (languageChoice === "italian") {
languageChoice = "it";
return htmlTop + languageChoice + "'>";
} else if (languageChoice === "chinese") {
languageChoice = "zh-cn";
return htmlTop + languageChoice + "'>";
}
}; //end choice.language
choice.charset = function () {
//Build meta and the rest of the 'head tag'
var htmlCharset_Beginning = "<meta charset='";
var htmlCharset_End = "'>" + "<title> -Insert Title- </title>" + "<!-- Insert CSS links below -->" + "</head>" + "<body>";
var charsetChoice = document.getElementById("charset").value;
if (charsetChoice === "utf8") {
charsetChoice = "UTF-8";
return htmlCharset_Beginning + charsetChoice + htmlCharset_End;
} else {
charsetChoice = "UTF-16";
return htmlCharset_Beginning + charsetChoice + htmlCharset_End;
}
}; // end choice.charset
choice.doctype = function () {
var doctypeChoice = document.getElementById("doctype").value;
return doctypeChoice;
}; // end doctype
choice.libraries = function () {
var checkedBoxes = getCheckedBoxes("lib_checkboxes");
checkedBoxes.forEach(function(item){
var scripts =+ $(item).data('script');
});//End forEach
var bottomHTML = scripts + "</body>" + "</html>";
return bottomHTML;
}; //End choice.libraries
var chosenTemplate = function(){
var template = choice.language() + choice.charset() + choice.libraries();
// insert html into file, this will overwrite whatever content happens to be there already
EditorManager.getCurrentFullEditor()._codeMirror.setValue(template);
// automatically close the modal window
$('#templates_modalBtn').click();
};
//Get checkedBoxes function
// Pass the checkbox name to the function
function getCheckedBoxes(chkboxName) {
var checkboxes = document.getElementsByName(chkboxName);
var checkboxesChecked = [];
// loop over them all
for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
// And stick the checked ones onto an array...
if (checkboxes[i].checked) {
checkboxesChecked.push(checkboxes[i]);
}
}
// Return the array if it is non-empty, or null
return checkboxesChecked.length > 0 ? checkboxesChecked : null;
}
} // End action();
//JEFF STOP CODING HERE
// Register the commands and insert in the File menu
CommandManager.register(Strings.MENU_COMMAND, 'templates', action);
var menu = Menus.getMenu(Menus.AppMenuBar.EDIT_MENU);
menu.addMenuDivider();
menu.addMenuItem('templates');
}); //end define;
QUESTION:
Can I save multiple methods (each method returns a string) as a variable?
Example here:
var chosenTemplate = function(){
var template = choice.language() + choice.charset() + choice.libraries();
// insert html into file, this will overwrite whatever content happens to be there already
EditorManager.getCurrentFullEditor()._codeMirror.setValue(template);
// automatically close the modal window
$('#templates_modalBtn').click();
};
My code is loading with no errors, but its not executing at all so I am trying to debug and figure out what is going wrong...

Before you realize the function 'chosenTemplate', you should check whether the document stream of the page has already downloaded. If it not, you may not be able to get the value of the widget (empty).
