I’m new to PHP and have some trouble trying to delete an item from some data returned by an API
JavaScript
x
function getData()
{
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json',));
$data = curl_exec($ch);
echo $data;
exit();
}
Here is the JSON data, I want to remove the item with Id 11

JavaScript
{
"Data": [
{
"Id": 11,
"Name": "Name1"
},
{
"Id": 12,
"Name": "Name2"
}
]
}

Answer
- Decode the data.
- Remove the item from the array.
- Optionally encode it again as string if needed.
JavaScript
$dataArray = json_decode($data, true);
foreach ($dataArray['Data'] as $key => $item) {
if ($item['Id'] === 11) {
unset($dataArray['Data'][$key]);
}
}
$data = json_encode($dataArray);
