在PHP中解析JSON数组

Question

I am a beginner in working with JSON, so please bear with me. Basically, I am receiving this JSON array back from Stripe, which is great (and I don't believe there is any sensitive information in it as it's a test account with a bogus credit card number and no keys listed).

Basically, at this point, I would be happy with any method in obtaining the following single piece of data: current_period_end

Here is the array when I dd() it:

Customer {#270 ▼
  #_opts: RequestOptions {#225 ▶}
  #_values: array:15 [▼
    "id" => "cus_6slA9S24KBk8qK"
    "object" => "customer"
    "created" => 1440817503
    "livemode" => false
    "description" => null
    "email" => null
    "shipping" => null
    "delinquent" => false
    "metadata" => AttachedObject {#276 ▶}
    "subscriptions" => Collection {#257 ▼
      #_opts: RequestOptions {#225 ▶}
      #_values: array:5 [▼
        "object" => "list"
        "total_count" => 1
        "has_more" => false
        "url" => "/v1/customers/cus_6slA9S24KBk8qK/subscriptions"
        "data" => array:1 [▼
          0 => Subscription {#249 ▼
            #_opts: RequestOptions {#225 ▶}
            #_values: array:18 [▼
              "id" => "sub_6slAE9UNlCLi24"

Here's what it looks like with just echoing it out:

Stripe\Customer JSON: { "id": "cus_6smHAG99OncrSm", "object": "customer", "created": 1440821625, "livemode": false, "description": null, "email": null, "shipping": null, "delinquent": false, "metadata": [], "subscriptions": { "object": "list", "total_count": 1, "has_more": false, "url": "\/v1\/customers\/cus_6smHAG99OncrSm\/subscriptions", "data": [ { "id": "sub_6smHbsmTA6JhrP", "plan": { "id": "yearly", "interval": "year", "name": "yearly", "created": 1439229255, "amount": 5000, "currency": "usd", "object": "plan", "livemode": false, "interval_count": 1, "trial_period_days": 7, "metadata": [], "statement_descriptor": "Degree Tracker yearly" }, "object": "subscription", "start": 1440821627, "status": "trialing", "customer": "cus_6smHAG99OncrSm", "cancel_at_period_end": false, "current_period_start": 1440821627, "current_period_end": 1441426427, "ended_at": null, "trial_start": 1440821627, "trial_end": 1441426427, "canceled_at": null, "quantity": 1, "application_fee_percent": null, "discount": null, "tax_percent": null, "metadata": [] } ] }, "discount": null, "account_balance": 0, "currency": "usd", "sources": { "object": "list", "total_count": 1, "has_more": false, "url": "\/v1\/customers\/cus_6smHAG99OncrSm\/sources", "data": [ { "id": "card_16f0ioKTaUqqkEkT7osN0knY", "object": "card", "last4": "4242", "brand": "Visa", "funding": "credit", "exp_month": 10, "exp_year": 2017, "fingerprint": "Y1GhThZ3NCmHOdTv", "country": "US", "name": "blah@yahoo.com", "address_line1": null, "address_line2": null, "address_city": null, "address_state": null, "address_zip": null, "address_country": null, "cvc_check": null, "address_line1_check": null, "address_zip_check": null, "tokenization_method": null, "dynamic_last4": null, "metadata": [], "customer": "cus_6smHAG99OncrSm" } ] }, "default_source": "card_16f0ioKTaUqqkEkT7osN0knY" }

The above is probably enough to find me a simple solution to my problem. However, here is some more optional extra material that might help you finding me a solution if you are familiar with Laravel and Cashier

I'm able to pull out a couple of values from the JSON response I'm getting such as the value "last4" (last four digits of the credit card) by doing this:

    $this_customer = \Stripe\Customer::retrieve($user->stripe_id);  
    $last_four = $this_customer->sources->retrieve($this_customer->default_source)->last4;

and I am also able to get the "exp_year" value by doing something very similar:

    $this_customer = \Stripe\Customer::retrieve($user->stripe_id);  //This is the first billing date
    $expiration_year = $this_customer->sources->retrieve($this_customer->default_source)->exp_year;

However, I have not been able to get the "current_period_end" value. Here is what I have tried:

    $this_customer = \Stripe\Customer::retrieve($user->stripe_id);  //This is the first billing date
    $expiration_year = $this_customer->subscriptions->retrieve($this_customer->default_source)->current_period_end;

One reason for the trouble I'm having is likely that the JSON that gets returned to me gas the subscriptions" array is in a different location from the "sources" array. However, I have been banging my head against a wall for a while trying to figure out how to fix my code to access it, even though I am sure there is more than 1 simple solution to the above problem.

<?php

$json = '{ "id": "cus_6smHAG99OncrSm", "object": "customer", "created": 1440821625, "livemode": false, "description": null, "email": null, "shipping": null, "delinquent": false, "metadata": [], "subscriptions": { "object": "list", "total_count": 1, "has_more": false, "url": "\/v1\/customers\/cus_6smHAG99OncrSm\/subscriptions", "data": [ { "id": "sub_6smHbsmTA6JhrP", "plan": { "id": "yearly", "interval": "year", "name": "yearly", "created": 1439229255, "amount": 5000, "currency": "usd", "object": "plan", "livemode": false, "interval_count": 1, "trial_period_days": 7, "metadata": [], "statement_descriptor": "Degree Tracker yearly" }, "object": "subscription", "start": 1440821627, "status": "trialing", "customer": "cus_6smHAG99OncrSm", "cancel_at_period_end": false, "current_period_start": 1440821627, "current_period_end": 1441426427, "ended_at": null, "trial_start": 1440821627, "trial_end": 1441426427, "canceled_at": null, "quantity": 1, "application_fee_percent": null, "discount": null, "tax_percent": null, "metadata": [] } ] }, "discount": null, "account_balance": 0, "currency": "usd", "sources": { "object": "list", "total_count": 1, "has_more": false, "url": "\/v1\/customers\/cus_6smHAG99OncrSm\/sources", "data": [ { "id": "card_16f0ioKTaUqqkEkT7osN0knY", "object": "card", "last4": "4242", "brand": "Visa", "funding": "credit", "exp_month": 10, "exp_year": 2017, "fingerprint": "Y1GhThZ3NCmHOdTv", "country": "US", "name": "blah@yahoo.com", "address_line1": null, "address_line2": null, "address_city": null, "address_state": null, "address_zip": null, "address_country": null, "cvc_check": null, "address_line1_check": null, "address_zip_check": null, "tokenization_method": null, "dynamic_last4": null, "metadata": [], "customer": "cus_6smHAG99OncrSm" } ] }, "default_source": "card_16f0ioKTaUqqkEkT7osN0knY" }';

$data = json_decode($json, true);

$current_period_end = $data['subscriptions']['data'][0]['current_period_end'];

print_r($current_period_end);

Output:

1441426427

And finally the date you can obtain the date with this code:

echo date('Y-m-d', $current_period_end);

Date:

2015-09-05
