Filter

[absorr]

Ok so I'm using this API and whenever I use a method, it gives me more than I want. For example, one function gives me: array(3) { ["result"]=> string(7) "success" ["source"]=> string(14) "getPlayerLimit" ["success"]=> int(20)} when all i want is the number at the bottom by intHow do I make it so that it will only show that number?

[justsomeguy]

$array['success'] contains the number.

[absorr]

$array['success'] contains the number.

So i would just doecho $array[success'] ?

[Ingolme]

You said that this is returned from a function? Call the function and store the result in a variable first:

$result = my_function();echo $result['success'];

I realize i may have made an aerror than. i did not mean a PHP function. I meant a method for the API, which in the above example is getPlayerLimit

[justsomeguy]

You get the array however you want to. Once you have the array, instead of using print_r, you can access the value using $array['success']. If you didn't name the array "$array", then substitute whatever name you used. It's the same array you're using with print_r.

Yeah that did not work. I'm sorry if my error confused you but I didn't mean that I got it through function. Here is JSONAPI.php which is used by it

and here is broadcastWithName.php with the login information censored with ***. This is what takes the input from an HTML text field and sends it to JSONAPI.php (the one above). This does work but again the reason I'm posting is to try to filter out the results it gives me to just one part.

<?php require('JSONAPI.php'); // get this file at: [url="https://github.com/alecgorge/jsonapi/raw/master/sdk/php/JSONAPI.php"]https://github.com/a...php/JSONAPI.php[/url] $api = new JSONAPI("***", ***, "***", "***", "***"); var_dump($api->call("broadcastWithName", array($_POST["msg"], $_POST["name"])));?>

[justsomeguy]

You need to save the result instead of using var_dump.

[absorr]

You need to save the result instead of using var_dump.

How would I do that and how would that help?

[justsomeguy]

Just like how Ingolme showed, except instead of "my_function" you use the function call that you're actually using. $result = $api->call("broadcastWithName", array($_POST["msg"], $_POST["name"])); And it helps because then you can actually use the result instead of only printing the data structure on the page.

THANK YOU! That worked perfectly! You 2 are awesome! This has unlocked a lot for me in the web application I am making with this.

ummmm when I do it with getPlayer I just get the word Array. When i do non-filtering, I get this: array(3) { ["result"]=> string(7) "success" ["source"]=> string(9) "getPlayer" ["success"]=> array(18) { ["worldInfo"]=> array(7) { ["remainingWeatherTicks"]=> int(131354) ["hasStorm"]=> bool(false) ["time"]=> int(13278) ["environment"]=> string(6) "normal" ["isThundering"]=> bool(false) ["name"]=> string(9) "adventure" ["fullTime"]=> int(4957278) } ["op"]=> bool(true) ["location"]=> array(5) { ["yaw"]=> float(91.047104) ["pitch"]=> float(22.049994) ["z"]=> float(1152.71875) ["y"]=> float(64) ["x"]=> float(862.90625) } ["exhaustion"]=> float(3.6588554) ["sleeping"]=> bool(false) ["health"]=> int(16) ["ip"]=> string(18) "/192.168.1.1:52644" ["gameMode"]=> int(0) ["inVehicle"]=> bool(false) ["level"]=> int(2) ["inventory"]=> array(3) { ["hand"]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(1) ["durability"]=> int(1) ["type"]=> int(267) } ["inventory"]=> array(36) { [0]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(1) ["durability"]=> int(1) ["type"]=> int(267) } [1]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(1) ["durability"]=> int(0) ["type"]=> int(344) } [2]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(1) ["durability"]=> int(31) ["type"]=> int(346) } [3]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(19) ["durability"]=> int(0) ["type"]=> int(297) } [4]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(64) ["durability"]=> int(0) ["type"]=> int(295) } [5]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(21) ["durability"]=> int(0) ["type"]=> int(295) } [6]=> NULL [7]=> NULL [8]=> NULL [9]=> NULL [10]=> NULL [11]=> NULL [12]=> NULL [13]=> NULL [14]=> NULL [15]=> NULL [16]=> NULL [17]=> NULL [18]=> NULL [19]=> NULL [20]=> NULL [21]=> NULL [22]=> NULL [23]=> NULL [24]=> NULL [25]=> NULL [26]=> NULL [27]=> NULL [28]=> NULL [29]=> NULL [30]=> NULL [31]=> NULL [32]=> NULL [33]=> NULL [34]=> NULL [35]=> NULL } ["armor"]=> array(4) { ["helmet"]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(0) ["durability"]=> int(-1) ["type"]=> int(0) } ["boots"]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(0) ["durability"]=> int(-1) ["type"]=> int(0) } ["leggings"]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(0) ["durability"]=> int(-1) ["type"]=> int(0) } ["chestplate"]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(0) ["durability"]=> int(-1) ["type"]=> int(0) } } } ["name"]=> string(6) "absorr" ["foodLevel"]=> int(8) ["experience"]=> int(25) ["itemInHand"]=> array(4) { ["enchantments"]=> array(0) { } ["amount"]=> int(1) ["durability"]=> int(1) ["type"]=> int(267) } ["sneaking"]=> bool(false) ["world"]=> int(3) ["sprinting"]=> bool(false) } } What I want is to have each bit of information organized. If you look through there are things like the world the player is in, the things in their inventory, all sorts of stuff, but how do I make each individual part show? I plan to make it so that like the health will be represented by a different picture for each amount using if and ifelse, show a picture of the players inventory based on the item ids, etc. All I need is the individual parts that I actually want

If you echo array it will always show you 'Array' Use this to see how is your array is structured.

echo "<pre>".print_r($getPlayer,TRUE)."</pre>";

After that you can access its elemnts by sepcifying index name. There could be many dimension of your array. How to access elements of two dimensional or multi dimensional array you can check here http://w3schools.com/php/php_array.asp

[Ingolme]

You can use foreach() to go through each element and use its data as you like. Here's an example of putting the data into a table:

echo '<table>';echo '<tbody>';foreach($array as $property=>$value) {  echo '<tr>';  echo "<td>$property</td><td>$value</td>";  echo '</tr>';}echo '</tbody>';echo '<thead><tr><th>Property</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead>';echo '</table>';

I put that in and it only gave me the headers

That means you did something wrong. What does your code look like?

Basically I pasted it right in

[Ingolme]

You missed the point. You have to store the result of the function call into a variable like we already showed you earlier:

$array = $api->call("getPlayer", array($_POST["name"]))

Sorry, I had it changed to the var dump because of how it didn't work and I forgot to change back when testing your answer. it gave me the table but it didn't show the results. Here's the table: Property Valueresult successsource getLatestConsoleLogssuccess Array and here is getLatestConsoleLogs.php

<?phprequire('JSONAPI.php'); // get this file at: https://github.com/alecgorge/jsonapi/raw/master/sdk/php/JSONAPI.php$api = new JSONAPI([color=#000000][size=2]CENSORED[/size][/color][color=#666600][size=2],[/size][/color][color=#000000][size=2] CENSORED[/size][/color][color=#666600][size=2],[/size][/color][color=#000000][size=2] CENSORED[/size][/color][color=#666600][size=2],[/size][/color][color=#000000][size=2] CENSORED[/size][/color][color=#666600][size=2],[/size][/color][color=#000000][size=2] CENSORED[/size][/color]);$array = $api->call("getLatestConsoleLogs");echo '<table>';echo '<tbody>';foreach($array as $property=>$value) {  echo '<tr>';  echo "<td>$property</td><td>$value</td>";  echo '</tr>';}echo '</tbody>';echo '<thead><tr><th>Property</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead>';echo '</table>';?>

and birbal's didn't give me anything

[Ingolme]

It looks like you have nested arrays. When you find an array as one of the property values, you have to loop through it. A recursive function will work if you have an undetermined amount of arrays. It's a bit more complicated to teach so you would first need to properly understand what the current code is doing before you continue.

[absorr]

Just tell me/show me what I need to do.

[Ingolme]

I'm not the one to ask if you want a pre-made solution to your problem. My job here is to help people learn, and working with an undefined amount of nested arrays is probably too advanced for your current knowledge. For now we can consider that you only have a second level in your array. Inside your loop, you will have a condition: if the current element is an array then print out a new table, and loop through each element of this array, printing the name-value pairs in table cells. The result would be nested tables, but they are semantically correct. You could choose to use a different element, but for this purpose it doesn't matter.
