using Foreach to make a table - foreach

Question

Im new to PHP and I made this to display to my website what has been uploaded in the fdpp portal
<?php $resp = file_get_contents("http://fdpp.blgs.gov.ph/api/documents?source=datatable&sSearch=kalinga");
$clean = json_decode($resp);
print_r($clean); ?>
this is the result :
stdClass Object
(
[iTotalRecords] => 130035
[iTotalDisplayRecords] => 879
[sEcho] => 0
[aaData] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[lgu] => <a href=' http://fdpp.blgs.gov.ph/documents/view/129293'>CAR<br/>Kalinga<br />Balbalan</a>
[document] => <a href=' http://fdpp.blgs.gov.ph/documents/view/129293'>Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund Utilization (LDRRMF)</a>
[period] => Quarter 1 2014
[status] => Required • SUBMITTED
[desc] => The atng.
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[lgu] => <a href=' http://fdpp.blgs.gov.ph/documents/view/129188'>CAR<br/>Kalinga<br />Balbalan</a>
[document] => <a href=' http://fdpp.blgs.gov.ph/documents/view/129188'>Manpower Complement</a>
[period] => Quarter 1 2014

[desc] => The file ag.
)
what shall I add to my code to put this in a table with column name lgu, document, period? I tried reading foreach manual but I cant figure it out can someone help me?

Answer 1

I have to agree with PeeHaa (+1) with not enough information given, but I'm going to attempt to help you out.
The following assumptions were made:
You have a local MySQL DB named "testdb"
You have the PDO extension installed
In "testdb", you have a table named "test_table" with 4
columns (id, lgu, document, period)
First, you need to set the second parameter in json_decode to true to return an associative array rather than an object (PHP: json_decode).
So, based upon the limited information, here is a working version:
<?php
$resp = file_get_contents("http://fdpp.blgs.gov.ph/api/documents?source=datatable&sSearch=kalinga");
$clean = json_decode($resp,true);
// Open connection to your MySQL DB
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb', 'username', 'password');
// Parse the now-associative array and insert into table
foreach($clean['aaData'] as $doc){
$stmt = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO test_table(lgu,document,period) VALUES(:lgu,:document,:period)");
$stmt->execute(array(':lgu' => $doc['lgu'], ':document' => $doc['document'], ':period' => $doc['period']));
}
?>
You should really provide some more information for a more exact answer.
But, this should set you in the right direction.
