Return status on request

[mekodak]

How to get a state return on a request?

Like: http://domain.com/example.php?name=Bob
Return: 'true'

or like: http://domain.com/example.php?name=Alex
Return: 'false'

Based on the online state

from this JSON:

127.0.0.1 - 2022-10-01 13:13:20 - INFO - [
{
	"config_group_id":2,
	"device_count":2,
	"devices":[
		"11:22:00:00:00:01",
		"11:22:00:00:00:02"
	],
	"name":"Bob",
	"pause":false,
	"profile_id":2,
	"timespent":{
		"has_quota":false,
		"quota":0,
		"total_spent":{
			"normal":91,
			"reward":0
		}
	},
	"online_device_count":1,
	"online":true
},
{
	"config_group_id":3,
	"device_count":2,
	"devices":[
		"11:22:00:00:00:03",
		"11:22:00:00:00:04"
	],
	"name":"Alex",
	"pause":false,
	"profile_id":3,
	"timespent":{
		"has_quota":false,
		"quota":0,
		"total_spent":{
			"normal":0,
			"reward":0
		}
	},
	"online_device_count":0,
	"online":false
},
{
	"config_group_id":9,
	"device_count":3,
	"devices":[
		"11:22:00:00:00:05",
		"11:22:00:00:00:06",
		"11:22:00:00:00:07"
	],
	"name":"$lan$",
	"pause":false,
	"profile_id":4,
	"timespent":{

You need to post your code. What did you try? What error did you get or what did you get that was not expected?

What are you deriving the state from? The online attribute?

[morocco-iceberg]

To start, you'll need a function that parses the JSON and finds the value you want to return

[ginerjm]

I very rarely use Json and do not profess any knowledge there.  But when I put your json into a small php script and ran the json_decode on it, I get a null response which manual says indicates an error in the json itself.

[morocco-iceberg]

The JSON structure itself looks ok, you would definitely need to remove the `127.0.0.1 - 2022-10-01 13:13:20 - INFO -` header and only pass the information within the brackets with the result being an array of objects

[ginerjm]

OK - I did remove the [] but now I've added them to the json variable and this is the output I have to show:

Step 1. A print_r of my json variable is:
 
[
	{
	"config_group_id":2,
	"device_count":2,
	"devices":
		[
			"11:22:00:00:00:01",
			"11:22:00:00:00:02"
		],
	"name":"Bob",
	"pause":false,
	"profile_id":2,
	"timespent":
		{
			"has_quota":false,
			"quota":0,
			"total_spent":
			{
				"normal":91,
				"reward":0
			}
		},
	"online_device_count":1,
	"online":true
	},
	{
	"config_group_id":3,
	"device_count":2,
	"devices":
		[
			"11:22:00:00:00:03",
			"11:22:00:00:00:04"
		],
	"name":"Alex",
	"pause":false,
	"profile_id":3,
	"timespent":
		{
			"has_quota":false,
			"quota":0,
			"total_spent":
			{
				"normal":0,
				"reward":0
			}
		},
	"online_device_count":0,
	"online":false
	},
	{
	"config_group_id":9,
	"device_count":3,
	"devices":
		[
			"11:22:00:00:00:05",
			"11:22:00:00:00:06",
			"11:22:00:00:00:07"
		],
	"name":"$lan$",
	"pause":false,
	"profile_id":4,
	"timespent":
	{
		"has_quota":false,
		"quota":0,
		"total_spent":
		{
			"normal":638,
			"reward":0
		}
	},
	{
	"online_device_count":2,
	"online":true
	}
	}
]

Step 2. Print_r after the json_decode call shows:

*********************
Step 3. Var dump of the decode result variable:
NULL

I think you may have introduced some additonal { down the bottom in your copy of the JSON? The original version doesn't have them. Try this:

[
{
"config_group_id":2,
"device_count":2,
"devices":
[
"11:22:00:00:00:01",
"11:22:00:00:00:02"
],
"name":"Bob",
"pause":false,
"profile_id":2,
"timespent":
{
"has_quota":false,
"quota":0,
"total_spent":
{
"normal":91,
"reward":0
}
},
"online_device_count":1,
"online":true
},
{
"config_group_id":3,
"device_count":2,
"devices":
[
"11:22:00:00:00:03",
"11:22:00:00:00:04"
],
"name":"Alex",
"pause":false,
"profile_id":3,
"timespent":
{
"has_quota":false,
"quota":0,
"total_spent":
{
"normal":0,
"reward":0
}
},
"online_device_count":0,
"online":false
},
{
"config_group_id":9,
"device_count":3,
"devices":
[
"11:22:00:00:00:05",
"11:22:00:00:00:06",
"11:22:00:00:00:07"
],
"name":"$lan$",
"pause":false,
"profile_id":4,
"timespent":
{
"has_quota":false,
"quota":0,
"total_spent":
{
"normal":638,
"reward":0
}
},
"online_device_count":2,
"online":true
}

Seems I've forgotten how to embed it as a code snippet, the usual markdown isn't working

[maxxd]

mekodak - I'm assuming what you're referring to as 'state' is the value in the 'online' property. So, once you ingest the JSON return and parse the data, loop through the resulting array and print the 'online' index. The third record 'name' value looks weird, but potentially not incorrect.

morocco-iceberg, use the code button (<>) in the post editor toolbar.

[ginerjm]

Ok - yes I did.  Re-copied the json and it now runs for me.

So now the question from the op is "what is a state return".  What are you looking for OP?

If the return of the value of 'online' is desired I have managed to get this back:

Config group id 2 is True
Config group id 3 is False
Config group id 9 is True

And this is the code I used:

$decoded = json_decode($json_code, true);
foreach($decoded as $k=>$arr)
{
	$result = $arr['online'] == '1' ? 'True' :'False';
	echo "Config group id {$arr['config_group_id']} is $result<br>";
}

I got moste of it:
 

if($_REQUEST['name']) {
    	foreach(json_decode($json_code, true) as $k=>$user_id) {
    		if($user_id['name'] == $_REQUEST['name']) {
    			if($user_id['online'] == '1') {
    				echo TRUE;
    			} else if($user_id['online'] == '0') {
    				echo FALSE;
    			}
    		}
    	}
    }

But have problems requesting for the mac

I dont know if it is the arrey that is annoying me.

[ginerjm]

Do not use $_REQUEST.  Use the appropriate array name to collect your input.

You cannot echo a boolean value.  Use a string instead.
