Echo Each Item From Array With Foreach Function

I’m not really experienced in PHP JSON queries, I’m curious if someone could help me with it.

I’m trying to make a foreach call for every color in the JSON array (seen below).

something like this

foreach($json->data->colors as $color){
  echo '<option value="'.$color.'">'.$color.'</option>';
}

JSON File

{
    "data": {
        "colors": [
            "Red",
            "Blue",
            "Green",
            "Yellow",
            "Pink"
        ],
        "Shapes": [
            "Square",
            "Rectangle",
            "Circle",
            "Triangle"
        ]
    }
}

Any help would be greatly appriciated!

If you’re looking to parse the JSON data, use json_decode() on your JSON string. And then loop through the parsed JSON variable like you’re doing.

Complete code:

<?php

$jsonString = '{
    "data": {
        "colors": [
            "Red",
            "Blue",
            "Green",
            "Yellow",
            "Pink"
        ],
        "Shapes": [
            "Square",
            "Rectangle",
            "Circle",
            "Triangle"
        ]
    }
}';

$json = json_decode($jsonString);

echo '<select type="select" name="select">';
foreach($json->data->colors as $color){
  echo '<option value="'.$color.'">'.$color.'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

?>
