array in mysql database?

[techker]

Hey guys i have a database set up and im trying to figure out how to show and edit the content in a table that has 

 

["http:\/\/streams.com:\/live\/A245\/23424\/6207.ts","http:\/\/streams\/live\/123\/43r3222\/27357.ts"]

 

so when i eco this i get that? is this stored as an array? and why the \/ is that separate values?

 

 

[benanamen]

The \ is escaping the /. Why is your data in the DB like that in the first place?

It's JSON, by the way. If you're using MySQL 5.7+ and the JSON data type then it's okay, otherwise it's not very okay.

[techker]

that explains it ..json..hmm

its the panel that was made like that..im just connecting to the backend of it ..

ya the Mysql is the latest..

so how can i show that text in a way that we can modify and resave?

[requinix]

If you want to work with it in PHP then you need to decode/encode it.

If you want to work with it in MySQL then use its JSON functions.

interesting thx

last question..maybe..lol sorry

LEGEND: 1-admin 2 user ,3 user level 1 ,4 user level4 ....

in my table i have a column groups with [1,2,4]

how can i make a query to select the tables associated to groups [1] only

cause i have some that 

i tried..also tried 

JSON_CONTAINS but the mysql error said does not exist?

SELECT * 
FROM `packages` 
WHERE 2 IN (".implode(',','groups').")LIMIT 0 , 30

What is the actual query you tried to run, as in whatever your PHP produced and not the code that you used to create it, and what was the error message?

Here's an example

mysql> SELECT name, role FROM json_test;
+-------+--------------+
| name  | role         |
+-------+--------------+
| Peter | [1, 2, 3]    |
| Paul  | [1, 3]       |
| Mary  | [1, 2, 4]    |
| Jane  | [2, 4]       |
| Fred  | [1, 2, 3, 4] |
+-------+--------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT name, role FROM json_test WHERE JSON_CONTAINS(role, "3");
+-------+--------------+
| name  | role         |
+-------+--------------+
| Peter | [1, 2, 3]    |
| Paul  | [1, 3]       |
| Fred  | [1, 2, 3, 4] |
+-------+--------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

odd cause no matter what i try i get an error like

 

SELECT * FROM `packages` WHERE  JSON_CONTAINS (groups , "4") ;

[techker]

ok i found that just the simple loop works..lol

 

$dataArray = json_decode($groups,true);
foreach($dataArray as $key => $value){
echo $value;
}

One of those statements can't be true.

(JSON functions require MySQL 5.7+)

[techker]

odd so how come it is inserted like that..

how can i make a function to edit this:

"http:\/\/streams.com:\/live\/A245\/23424\/6207.ts","http:\/\/streams\/live\/123\/43r3222\/27357.ts"]

guessing i need to remove the\/ and replace by // . and when i save i need to re add the \/

 

im messing around with SELECT streams_source  REPLACE(streams_source,'\/','//') as output FROM Stream WHERE 1;

but getting mysql errors ..

Ok i think i got it..

 

$result= str_replace('\\', '', $stream_source);
$result = str_replace("'", "", $result);  //remove single quotes

so i remove the \

 

all i need to do is reverse that to save

[requinix]

No. The backslashes are optional but okay. It does not matter if they are there. Do not try to manipulate the JSON string like that.
