Php variable not accessible

[Hellos]

$data = file_get_contents($url); // put the contents of the file into a variable
$characters = json_decode($data); // decode the JSON feed

foreach ($characters as $character) {
	//location
	$name = $character->name;
	$region = $character->region;
	$country = $character->country;
	$lat = $character->lat;
	$lon = $character->lon;
	$tz_id = $character->tz_id;
	$localtime_epoch = $character->localtime_epoch;
	$localtime = $character->localtime;



	

}

echo$name;
?>

This is my code and name will not echo the content.

$data = file_get_contents($url); // put the contents of the file into a variable
$characters = json_decode($data); // decode the JSON feed

foreach ($characters as $character) {
	//location
	$name = $character->name;
	$region = $character->region;
	$country = $character->country;
	$lat = $character->lat;
	$lon = $character->lon;
	$tz_id = $character->tz_id;
	$localtime_epoch = $character->localtime_epoch;
	$localtime = $character->localtime;

	echo$name;

	

}


?>

The variable name will output correctly here.

 

Does anyone know what the problem is.

Is it to do with variable scopes like global, static or something?

 

Thanks.

In your first code block you read each object putting the name in to the same variabe, thus each one overwrites the previous.

Probably, if the last object is empty, or the name is empty, nothing will print.

In the second block you echo each name as it is read.

Without seeing the content of $data or $characters then cannot be sure.

<?php
//echo $character->is_day . '<br>';

$url = '{"location":{"name":"London","region":"City of London, Greater London","country":"United Kingdom","lat":51.52,"lon":-0.11,"tz_id":"Europe/London","localtime_epoch":1672618641,"localtime":"2023-01-02 0:17"},"current":{"last_updated_epoch":1672618500,"last_updated":"2023-01-02 00:15","temp_c":8.0,"temp_f":46.4,"is_day":0,"condition":{"text":"Light rain","icon":"//cdn.weatherapi.com/weather/64x64/night/296.png","code":1183},"wind_mph":4.3,"wind_kph":6.8,"wind_degree":220,"wind_dir":"SW","pressure_mb":1009.0,"pressure_in":29.8,"precip_mm":0.0,"precip_in":0.0,"humidity":93,"cloud":25,"feelslike_c":7.0,"feelslike_f":44.7,"vis_km":10.0,"vis_miles":6.0,"uv":1.0,"gust_mph":5.8,"gust_kph":9.4}}';

	$localtime = $character->localtime;

	echo$name;

	

}

Here is the full code.

Thanks

It works now, you have to use concatenation.

Thanks

@Barandone more thing, How do I get the data of the values in condition? Because it is an array in array

 

Thanks

[Barand]

$data = '{"location":{"name":"London","region":"City of London, Greater London","country":"United Kingdom","lat":51.52,"lon":-0.11,"tz_id":"Europe/London","localtime_epoch":1672618641,"localtime":"2023-01-02 0:17"},"current":{"last_updated_epoch":1672618500,"last_updated":"2023-01-02 00:15","temp_c":8.0,"temp_f":46.4,"is_day":0,"condition":{"text":"Light rain","icon":"//cdn.weatherapi.com/weather/64x64/night/296.png","code":1183},"wind_mph":4.3,"wind_kph":6.8,"wind_degree":220,"wind_dir":"SW","pressure_mb":1009.0,"pressure_in":29.8,"precip_mm":0.0,"precip_in":0.0,"humidity":93,"cloud":25,"feelslike_c":7.0,"feelslike_f":44.7,"vis_km":10.0,"vis_miles":6.0,"uv":1.0,"gust_mph":5.8,"gust_kph":9.4}}';

$characters = json_decode($data, 1); // decode the JSON feed  as array


echo $characters['location']['name'] . '<br>';
echo $characters['current']['condition']['text'] . '<br>';
echo $characters['current']['condition']['code'] . '<br>';

If you want to stay with objects...

$data = '{"location":{"name":"London","region":"City of London, Greater London","country":"United Kingdom","lat":51.52,"lon":-0.11,"tz_id":"Europe/London","localtime_epoch":1672618641,"localtime":"2023-01-02 0:17"},"current":{"last_updated_epoch":1672618500,"last_updated":"2023-01-02 00:15","temp_c":8.0,"temp_f":46.4,"is_day":0,"condition":{"text":"Light rain","icon":"//cdn.weatherapi.com/weather/64x64/night/296.png","code":1183},"wind_mph":4.3,"wind_kph":6.8,"wind_degree":220,"wind_dir":"SW","pressure_mb":1009.0,"pressure_in":29.8,"precip_mm":0.0,"precip_in":0.0,"humidity":93,"cloud":25,"feelslike_c":7.0,"feelslike_f":44.7,"vis_km":10.0,"vis_miles":6.0,"uv":1.0,"gust_mph":5.8,"gust_kph":9.4}}'; 
$obj = json_decode($data);          // decode the JSON feed  as object

echo $obj->location->name . '<br>';
echo $obj->current->condition->text . '<br>';
echo "<img src='{$obj->current->condition->icon}'>" . '<br>';
echo $obj->current->condition->code . '<br>';

@BarandThank you very much!
