PHP Object to Array help

[Judahnator]

To give a little background, i have a MineCraft server and am working on a way to display a persons inventory on its website.

 

I am using THIS plugin to write a players inventory to my database, and THIS page shows what has been written to the database (all personal information has been removed).

 

Everything in the content and armor cells are a single object, i need to break it apart to use the contents of each bracket individually. For example, i would like to break

THIS

$OBJECT="[{'type':'IRON_BOOTS','damage':153},{'type':'IRON_LEGGINGS','damage':153},{'type':'IRON_CHESTPLATE','damage':153},{'type':'IRON_HELMET','damage':153}]";

 

into THIS

$OBJECT[1]="{'type':'IRON_LEGGINGS','damage':153}";
$OBJECT[2]="{'type':'IRON_CHESTPLATE','damage':153}";
$OBJECT[3]="{'type':'IRON_HELMET','damage':153}]";

$OBJECT[0]="[{'type':'IRON_BOOTS','damage':153}";

 

 

Does anyone know how i could accomplish this? Or something similar enough to it for me to make use of the data?

 

 

Thanks

Can I just check one thing... you realise that this data is in JSON format right?

You need to use json_decode().

 

Also, use the code tag not a quote.

First of all, $OBJECT is a JSON array, but it is invalid JSON. The JSON spec doesn't allow single quotes so json_decode will likely fail.

 

To begin, fix $OBJECT:

$OBJECT = '[{"type":"IRON_BOOTS","damage":153},{"type":"IRON_LEGGINGS","damage":153},{"type":"IRON_CHESTPLATE","damage":153},{"type":"IRON_HELMET","damage":153}]';

Decode it to a PHP object:

$foo = json_decode($OBJECT);

 

Access the values:

for ($i = 0; $i < count($foo); $i++){    echo $foo[$i]->type;    echo $foo[$i]->damage;}

 

Output (no line breaks):

 

IRON_BOOTS153IRON_LEGGINGS153IRON_CHESTPLATE153IRON_HELMET153

 

Unless I made a few typos, this will work fine.
