PHP foreach over JSON with Array

Question

I have a json return that looks like this:

[output] => stdClass Object
    (
        [data] => stdClass Object
            (
                [Email] => Array
                    (
                        [0] => [email protected]
                        [1] => [email protected]
                    )

                [PhoneNumber] => Array
                    (
                        [0] => 2031234569
                    )

            )

What i need to do is be able to loop through the phones and emails and get them all.

I have tried:

foreach ($json_result->output->data as $data) {
$phone = $data->PhoneNumber;
$email = $data->Email;
}

but this is returning empty. Anyone have an idea?

Your sample code isn't "returning" anything, it's just a couple of variable assignments. What are you trying to do with $phone and $email? — miken32

You are trying to access PhoneNumber and Email as properties, while they are arrays.

foreach ($json_result->output->data->Email as $email_address) {
    echo $email_address;
}

foreach ($json_result->output->data->PhoneNumber as $phone_number) {
    echo $phone_number;
}

PhoneNumber and Email are properties of the object. They themselves are arrays, but there was nothing wrong with his original code.

The easiest way is JSON encode your std object and then decode it back to an array:

$array = json_decode(json_encode($object), true);
foreach($array as $data) {
   $phone = $data->PhoneNumber;
   $email = $data->Email;
}
