Above is the response that i am getting from Zillow Api, I have fetched the values from the response, Something like below:

zpid => 48897608
links:
homedetails => http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/13546-36th-Ave-NE-Seattle-WA-98125/48897608_zpid/
graphsanddata => http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/13546-36th-Ave-NE-Seattle-WA-98125/48897608_zpid/#charts-and-data
mapthishome => http://www.zillow.com/homes/48897608_zpid/
comparables => http://www.zillow.com/homes/comps/48897608_zpid/
address:
street => 13546 36th Ave NE
zipcode => 98125
city => Seattle
state => WA
latitude => 47.727631
longitude => -122.289193
zestimate:
amount => 393735
last-updated => 03/12/2017

I obtained this using code below:

$jsonIterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
    new RecursiveArrayIterator(json_decode($json, TRUE)),
    RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);

foreach ($jsonIterator as $key => $val) {
    if(is_array($val)) {
        echo "$key:\n";
    } else {
        echo "$key => $val\n";
    }
}

Now my question is how can get single values like in format below?

<li>zipid:48897608</li>
<li>low:374048</li>

<li>last-updated:03/12/2017</li>

Answer 1

It's because the list tag is processed as html tag on the page. In other words, it's not processed as plain text. In this case, we should replace '<' and '>' with '&lt' and '&gt'.

Here is the code line.

foreach ($arr as $key=>$val) {
    echo "&ltli&gt{$key}:{$val}&lt/li&gt";
    echo '<br>';
}

Hope it helps you.

Thank you!

I think answer is in your question, just modify your if condition:

echo '<ul>';
foreach ($jsonIterator as $key => $val) {
    if(!is_array($val)) {
        echo '<li>'.$key.':'.$val.'</li>';
    } 
}
echo '</ul>';
