json_decode outputs array that I want into html tables

[RobMichaelson]

Hello

I have been working really hard on getting an API (184.173.18.228/api/profile/1000/0/Adam.Adams) to display anything and it worked with $json_output = json_decode($json);

<?php
$url = "http://184.173.18.228/api/profile/1000/0/Adam.Adams";
$json = file_get_contents($url, 0, null, null);
$json_output = json_decode($json);
echo '<pre>';
print_r("query results:");
print_r($json_output);
'</pre>';
$obj = array('section', 'fname', 'lname');
var_dump($obj)
?>

 

when I uploaded the php file and view it in browser - it looked like an array ( a lot more than displayed here)-

stdClass Object

(

[ProfileSections] => Array

(

[0] => stdClass Object

(

[sectionType] => ContactCard

[sections] => Array

(

[0] => stdClass Object

(

[ContentType] => ProfileBio

[Title] =>

[Description] =>

my next quest is to get this array into html that I can style -

I am soooo stuck - do I save the array as a file then call the file to display? can take this output before it gets displayed in the browser with stylized output?

thanks

Rob

it's not just an array, it's a combination of objects and arrays. You can manipulate and stylise these as you would any other object or array values before doing any output.
