使用PHP从JSON更新MySQL表

Question

Hi all and thanks for your patience,

I'm trying to write a cron job to update currencies rate in our MySQL database. The JSON data that I'm receiving looks like this;

}

Since the table already exist, all I want to do is to update the currencies that we have in the table, not all currencies that the JSON file is giving me. We only have 7 currencies in our table (it can change depending on if we accept more currencies or less). This is the code I come up with;

<?php


define("_SITE_SECURED_FILES_",realpath(dirname(__FILE__)."/../../../../")."\Secured_Files");

// Database Credentials
require_once(_SITE_SECURED_FILES_."\Database\credentials.mysql.php");

// Open Exchange Rates Credentials
require_once(_SITE_SECURED_FILES_."\Open_Exchange_Rates\credentials.openexchangerates.php");

// Requested file
// Could also be e.g. 'currencies.json' or 'historical/2011-01-01.json'
$file = 'latest.json';
$base_currency = 'CAD';

// Open CURL session
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://openexchangerates_org/api/{$file}?app_id={$appId}&base={$base_currency}");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// Get the data:
$json = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// Decode JSON response:
$exchangeRates = json_decode($json);

foreach($exchangeRates['rates'] as $key => $value) {
if($value) {

//how to use json array to insert data in Database
    mysqli_query($mysql,"UPDATE currencies SET dblRateCAD = '".$value."' WHERE strCode = '".$exchangeRates['rates']."' LIMIT 1");
    }
}


?>

Right now, it doesn't work. I'm getting

PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array on line 29: foreach($exchangeRates['rates'] as $key => $value) {

Answer 1

If you want an array just use json_decode($json, true) and modify your query to "UPDATE currencies SET dblRateCAD = '".$value."' WHERE strCode = '". $key ."' "UPDATE currencies SET dblRateCAD = '".$value."' WHERE strCode = '". $key ."'

// Decode JSON response:
$exchangeRates = json_decode($json, true);

foreach($exchangeRates['rates'] as $key => $value) {
if($value) {

//how to use json array to insert data in Database
    mysqli_query($mysql,"UPDATE currencies SET dblRateCAD = '".$value."' WHERE strCode = '". $key ."' LIMIT 1");
    }
}

Your JSON is decoding to an object, not an array. And even if it was an array, you'd be using it incorrectly:

foreach($exchangeRates['rates'] as $key => $value) {
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^---array
    mysqli_query([..snip..]WHERE strCode = '".$exchangeRates['rates']."' LIMIT 1")
                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^--same array

An array used in string context is the literal word Array . eg

$foo = array();
echo "This is an $foo"; // outputs 'This is an Array'

And as written, you're vulnerable to sql injection attacks .
