Hi Guys,

 

I have an array

$arr

 

When i run this function

print_r($arr)

 

I get the output below:-

 

--------------------------------

 

Array
(
    [WHMCSAPI] => Array
        (
            [ACTION] => getclientsproducts
            [RESULT] => success
            [CLIENTID] => 87
            [PID] => 13
            [DOMAIN] => dfgbhcgnd.com
            [TOTALRESULTS] => 1
            [sTARTNUMBER] => 0
            [NUMRETURNED] => 1
            [PRODUCTS] => Array
                (
                    [PRODUCT] => Array
                        (
                            [iD] => 196
                            [CLIENTID] => 87
                            [ORDERID] => 218
                            [PID] => 13
                            [REGDATE] => 2011-12-07
                            [NAME] => Walderizer
                            [DOMAIN] => dfgbhcgnd.com
                            [DEDICATEDIP] => 
                            [sERVERID] => 3
                            [FIRSTPAYMENTAMOUNT] => 55.00
                            [RECURRINGAMOUNT] => 55.00
                            [PAYMENTMETHOD] => banktransfer
                            [PAYMENTMETHODNAME] => Bank Transfer
                            [bILLINGCYCLE] => Monthly
                            [NEXTDUEDATE] => 2011-12-07
                            [sTATUS] => Active
                            [uSERNAME] => vitaforiz
                            [PASSWORD] => ghTfg476fg
                            [sUBSCRIPTIONID] => 
                            [LASTUPDATE] => 0000-00-00 00:00:00
                            [CUSTOMFIELDS] => Array
                                (
                                    [CUSTOMFIELD] => Array
                                        (
                                            [NAME] => IP Address
                                            [VALUE] => 
                                        )

                                )

                            [CONFIGOPTIONS] => 

                        )

                )

        )

)

 

---------------------------------

 

My question is, how can i print only certain parts of the data rather than printing the whole array. For example i only want to echo the values for [NAME], [uSERNAME], [PASSWORD] and [NEXTDUEDATE] from the [PRODUCT] part of the array

 

Thanks in advance

You can do this by echoing them.

 

e.g. to echo the value for "result"

 

echo $arr[WHMCSAPI][RESULT];

I was going to give you the easy answer, but I'm very sure that it won't work in all circumstances.

 

Comes from XML, right? The problem is that there might be multiple PRODUCTs inside that PRODUCTS, but because PHP doesn't know that it assumes (in this instance) that there's only one. The array will look different in the two cases. However there's that NUMRETURNED you can use to get a proper array.

$products = ($arr["WHMCSAPI"]["NUMRETURNED"] == 1 ? array($arr["WHMCSAPI"]["PRODUCTS"]["PRODUCT"]) : $arr["WHMCSAPI"]["PRODUCTS"]);
foreach ($products as $p) {
    echo "Name: ", $p["NAME"], "
\n";
}

Thanks, this works well for the first level eg:

echo $arr['WHMCSAPI']['DOMAIN'];

 

How can i get to the [uSERNAME] which is on the second level. The code below 

echo $arr['WHMCSAPI']['PRODUCT']['USERNAME'];

gives the error message "Undefined index: PRODUCT"

    echo "Name: ", $p["NAME"], "<br />\n";
}

 

Thanks for your help, yes this is coming from XML. The simple solution will be fine, there will only ever be 1 PRODUCT. The code below is fine for first level values

echo $arr['WHMCSAPI']['DOMAIN'];

but when i try to get [uSERNAME] with

echo $arr['WHMCSAPI']['PRODUCT']['USERNAME'];

i get the error "Undefined index: PRODUCT"

You're leaving out the PRODUCTS layer.

Got it! Thank you very much guys, everything is working perfectly
