Trying to get property of non-object when get value in variable

Question

trying to get property of non-object in E:\\xampp\\htdocs\\sufiapiwork\\poetlist.php on line 24

Can you fix it? I don't have any idea what happened. Here is my code.

function get_data($url)
{
    $ch = curl_init();
    $timeout = 5;
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return $data;
}

$url="someurl";
$data = json_decode(get_data($url), true);

foreach($data as $val)
{
    echo $val->Name_Hi;
}

Answer 1

json_decode($result, true); make associative array / hash instead of anonymous object. The notation is then $val['Name_Hi'] to access the property.

Answer 2

Actually, you would need to firstly specify $data['Result'] index in your array and then use $val['Name_Hi'] to view the data.

foreach($data['Result'] as $val) {

    if($val['Name_Hi'] !== ''){

     echo $val['Name_Hi'] . '<br>';
  }

}

Output:

फ़ज़ल बिन मुहम्मद अमीन

Answer 3

The value you are getting from json_decode is an array so you have to use $val['Name_Hi'] .

If you want an object, you have to remove the second parameter from json_decode .

From the doc

The function json_decode() has 4 parameters

• $json => the json string to decode
• $assoc = false => if true, you will get an array, if false (or not defines) you will get an object
• $depth = 512 => sets the maximum depth for decoding nested values
• $options = 0 => additionnal options for the decode function

The only needed parameter is $json
