How do I convert php array to individual variables?

[imgrooot]

Say I have this array.

$block_io->get_current_price(array());

That array will give me this output.

{
"status" : "success",
"data" : {
"network" : "BTC",
"prices" : [
{
"price" : "1500.01",
"price_base" : "AUD",
"exchange" : "coinspot",
"time" : 1488955012
},
{

How can I convert the above output into individual variables?

For eg.

$status = 'success';
$network = 'BTC';
$price = '1500.01';
...etc

That output is JSON. Are you doing a json_decode somewhere? That's the first step. It will return to you an array or object. Once you have that you don't need individual variables because you can do either

$variable["status"]

$variable->status

depending whether you had it decode as an array or object.

My mistake. I am using this api and used their output because it was cleaner looking.https://block.io/api/simple/php

 

But same as above, if I print_r the variable like this.

$newInfo = $block_io->get_current_price(array());
print_r($newInfo);

It will give me the output like this.

object(stdClass)#5 (2) { ["status"]=> string(7) "success" ["data"]=> object(stdClass)#6 (2) { ["network"]=> string(3) "BTC" ["prices"]=> array(11) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#7 (4) { ["price"]=> string(6) "1590.0" ["price_base"]=> string(3) "AUD" ["exchange"]=> string( "coinspot" ["time"]=> int(1488981211) } [1]=> object(stdClass)#8 (4) { ["price"]=> string( "1201.203" ["price_base"]=> string(3) "USD" ["exchange"]=> string(5) "btc-e" ["time"]=> int(1488981211) } [2]=> object(stdClass)#9 (4) { ["price"]=> string(10) "1149.95741" ["price_base"]=> string(3) "EUR" ["exchange"]=> string(5) "btc-e" ["time"]=> int(1488981211) } [3]=> object(stdClass)#10 (4) { ["price"]=> string(7) "68920.0" ["price_base"]=> string(3) "RUR" ["exchange"]=> string(5) "btc-e" ["time"]=> int(1488981211) } [4]=> object(stdClass)#11 (4) { ["price"]=> string(7) "1203.14" ["price_base"]=> string(3) "USD" ["exchange"]=> string( "coinbase" ["time"]=> int(1488981213) } [5]=> object(stdClass)#12 (4) { ["price"]=> string(6) "1205.9" ["price_base"]=> string(3) "USD" ["exchange"]=> string( "bitfinex" ["time"]=> int(1488981214) } [6]=> object(stdClass)#13 (4) { ["price"]=> string(6) "1202.0" ["price_base"]=> string(3) "EUR" ["exchange"]=> string(7) "litebit" ["time"]=> int(1488981222) } [7]=> object(stdClass)#14 (4) { ["price"]=> string(7) "1206.61" ["price_base"]=> string(3) "USD" ["exchange"]=> string( "bitstamp" ["time"]=> int(1488981224) } [8]=> object(stdClass)#15 (4) { ["price"]=> string(6) "1154.2" ["price_base"]=> string(3) "EUR" ["exchange"]=> string( "bitstamp" ["time"]=> int(1488981224) } [9]=> object(stdClass)#16 (4) { ["price"]=> string(6) "8037.0" ["price_base"]=> string(3) "CNY" ["exchange"]=> string(4) "bter" ["time"]=> int(1488981225) } [10]=> object(stdClass)#17 (4) { ["price"]=> string(6) "7830.0" ["price_base"]=> string(3) "CNY" ["exchange"]=> string( "btcchina" ["time"]=> int(1488981208) } } } } 

Using your json_decode like this doesn't work. It doesn't return me anything. No error either.

 $variable = json_decode($newInfo);
 echo $variable->status;

Then it's already been decoded into $newInfo. Try doing ->status on that.

Oh wow, it works. That was simple.  Thank you.
