INSERTING JSON data from API request into MySQL database - javascript

Previously I have posted a similar question on passing JSON data to drop down menu using PHP. How can i arrange data array from API request into HTML SELECT OPTION LIST?
Right now I would like to INSERT the JSON datat in to MySQL database
Below is my api_redcap.php code for calling the data from other web server:
<?php
$data = array(
'token' => '4B0D42AB9D061C0FADD724D2E908349D',
'content' => 'report',
'format' => 'json',
'report_id' => '71',
'rawOrLabel' => 'label',
'rawOrLabelHeaders' => 'label',
'exportCheckboxLabel' => 'false',
'returnFormat' => 'json');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://redcap-virtualbox/redcap/api/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data, '', '&'));
$output = curl_exec($ch);
$json = json_decode($output);
?>
Below is my output from api_redcap.php.:
[{"project_code":"16001","dept":"Orthopaedic Surgery (ORTHO)","group":"","name":"Jameson Lua Yao Chung"},{"project_code":"16002","dept":"Rheumatology Allergy & Immunology (RAI)","group":"","name":"Koh Ee Tzun"},{"project_code":"16003","dept":"Orthopaedic Surgery (ORTHO)","group":"","name":"Ang Wei Luong"},{"project_code":"16004","dept":"Rheumatology Allergy & Immunology (RAI)","group":"","name":"Lim Xin Rong"},{"project_code":"16005","dept":"Physiotherapy (PT)","group":"","name":"Li Kun Man"}]
My table name is called PROJECT_CODE in MySQL database and the attributes are as follow:
Table Name - PROJECT_CODE
Field Name:
PROJECT_code,
DEPARTMENT,
REQUESTOR,
I would like to insert the project_code, dept and name variables from JSON into the MySQL table fields respectively. Please help. Thanks

$json = json_decode($output, true);
foreach($json as $val)
{
$project_code = $val['project_code'];
$dept = $val['dept'];
$name = $val['name'];
/*
* Generate insert query as below
* "INSERT INTO MyGuests (project_code, dept, name) VALUES ($project_code, $dept, $name);";
*/
}
Also, you can insert multiple record in single loop
Please check below reference link

In reference link 3 different methods given,so, you can use any one whatever suitable for you

How to add Title in One Signal push notifications for Web App?

The below PHP code for Onesignal push notification is working fine,
But how do I add Title to the notification along with a defined custom icon instead of the default bell?
//Push Notifications Starts User --------------------------------------------------------------
notify("Alert","Your Order status has been changed to '$order_status'.");
$content = array("en" => "Your Order status has been changed to '$order_status'.");
$fields = array(
'app_id' => "fa0e5f20-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
'included_segments' => array('All'),
'contents' => $content,
'data' => array("en" => "bar"),
'large_icon' =>"ic_launcher_round.png",
);
$fields = json_encode($fields);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://onesignal.com/api/v1/notifications");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8',
'Authorization: Basic NTBjNDExxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
//Push Notifications Ends --------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that "ic_launcher_round.png" is in my studio sdk inside folders "res->mipmap->ic_launcher_round"
The push is working, but I need the Title on top of the content along with 'ic_launcher_round.png' as a custom icon.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Login to site with PHP cURL

I'm trying login to a remote site, by having curl to the login form.
I want to redirect to another subdomain and get content.
The code I have doesn't seem to work and only tries to show the main page of the site.
<?php
$username = 'user';
$password = 'pass';
$loginUrl = 'https://site_url';
//init curl
$ch = curl_init();
//Set the URL to work with
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $loginUrl);
// ENABLE HTTP POST
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
//Set the post parameters
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'user='.$username.'&password='.$password);
//Handle cookies for the login
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookie.txt');
//Setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER variable to 1 will force cURL
//not to print out the results of its query.
//Instead, it will return the results as a string return value
//from curl_exec() instead of the usual true/false.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//execute the request (the login)
$store = curl_exec($ch);
//the login is now done and you can continue to get the
//protected content.
//set the URL to the protected file
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://site_url/statistics');
//execute the request
$content = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
//save the data to disk
file_put_contents('~/file.txt', $content);
?>
Does it have to be via cURL?
Have you considered leveraging a library like Guzzle?
They have good documentation that covers scenarios as you have described.
https://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/quickstart.html#post-form-requests
Something like the below but could be laid out better
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Exception\BadResponseException;
$client = new Client(['base_uri' => 'https://url_site/', 'cookies' => true]);
// Login
try {
$client->request(
'POST',
'login/',
[
'form_params' => [
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password,
],
]
);
} catch (BadResponseException $e) {
echo "Error Logging On for User {$username}";
exit;
}
// Navigate
$response = $client->request('GET', '/statistics');
$content = $response->getBody()->getContents();
file_put_contents('~/file.txt', $content);

PHP cURL request to JavaScript

I need to convert this PHP cURL request to JavaScript. I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing it.
I basically need to make this request be client sided instead of server sided.
function createSite($template_id) {
//create array with data
$data = array("template_id"=>$template_id);
//turn data into json to pass via cURL
$data = json_encode($data);
print $data;
//Set cURL parameters
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch,
CURLOPT_URL,'https://api.duda.co/api/sites/multiscreen/create');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, API_USER.':'.API_PASS);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:
application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
//execute cURL call and get template_idte data
$output = curl_exec($ch);
//check for errors in cURL
if(curl_errno($ch)) {
die('Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch));
}
//decode result
$output = json_decode($output);
//return unique site_name
return $output->site_name;

XmlHttpRequest - post JSON - json string too many quotes (i think) [duplicate]

I looked around a lot before posting this question so my apologies if it is on another post and this is only my second quesiton on here so apologies if I don't format this question correctly.
I have a really simple web service that I have created that needs to take post values and return a JSON encoded array. That all worked fine until I was told I would need to post the form data with a content-type of application/json. Since then I cannot return any values from the web service and it is definitely something to do with how I am filtering their post values.
Basically in my local setup I have created a test page that does the following -
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data))
);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://webservice.local/'); // Set the url path we want to call
$result = curl_exec($curl);
//see the results
$json=json_decode($result,true);
curl_close($curl);
print_r($json);
On the webservice I have this (I have stripped out some of the functions) -
<?php
header('Content-type: application/json');
/* connect to the db */
$link = mysql_connect('localhost','root','root') or die('Cannot connect to the DB');
mysql_select_db('webservice',$link) or die('Cannot select the DB');
if(isset($_POST['action']) && $_POST['action'] == 'login') {
$statusCode = array('statusCode'=>1, 'statusDescription'=>'Login Process - Fail');
$posts[] = array('status'=>$statusCode);
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode($posts);
/* disconnect from the db */
}
#mysql_close($link);
?>
Basically I know that it is due to the $_POST values not being set but I can't find what I need to put instead of the $_POST. I tried
json_decode($_POST), file_get_contents("php://input") and a number of other ways but I was shooting in the dark a bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Steve
Thanks Michael for the help, that was a definite step forward I now have at least got a repsonse when I echo the post....even if it is null
updated CURL -
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://webservice.local/');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
updated php on the page that the data is posted to -
$inputJSON = file_get_contents('php://input');
$input= json_decode( $inputJSON, TRUE ); //convert JSON into array
print_r(json_encode($input));
As I say at least I see a response now wheras prior it was returning a blank page
You have empty $_POST. If your web-server wants see data in json-format you need to read the raw input and then parse it with JSON decode.
You need something like that:
$json = file_get_contents('php://input');
$obj = json_decode($json);
Also you have wrong code for testing JSON-communication...
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS tells curl to encode your parameters as application/x-www-form-urlencoded. You need JSON-string here.
UPDATE
Your php code for test page should be like that:
$data_string = json_encode($data);
$ch = curl_init('http://webservice.local/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))
);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$result = json_decode($result);
var_dump($result);
Also on your web-service page you should remove one of the lines header('Content-type: application/json');. It must be called only once.
Hello this is a snippet from an old project of mine that uses curl to get ip information from some free ip databases services which reply in json format. I think it might help you.
$ip_srv = array("http://freegeoip.net/json/$this->ip","http://smart-ip.net/geoip-json/$this->ip");
getUserLocation($ip_srv);
Function:
function getUserLocation($services) {
$ctx = stream_context_create(array('http' => array('timeout' => 15))); // 15 seconds timeout
for ($i = 0; $i < count($services); $i++) {
// Configuring curl options
$options = array (
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, // return web page
//CURLOPT_HEADER => false, // don't return headers
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('Content-type: application/json'),
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true, // follow redirects
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", // handle compressed
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => "test", // who am i
CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER => true, // set referer on redirect
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 5, // timeout on connect
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 5, // timeout on response
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10 // stop after 10 redirects
);
// Initializing curl
$ch = curl_init($services[$i]);
curl_setopt_array ( $ch, $options );
$content = curl_exec ( $ch );
$err = curl_errno ( $ch );
$errmsg = curl_error ( $ch );
$header = curl_getinfo ( $ch );
$httpCode = curl_getinfo ( $ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE );
curl_close ( $ch );
//echo 'service: ' . $services[$i] . '</br>';
//echo 'err: '.$err.'</br>';
//echo 'errmsg: '.$errmsg.'</br>';
//echo 'httpCode: '.$httpCode.'</br>';
//print_r($header);
//print_r(json_decode($content, true));
if ($err == 0 && $httpCode == 200 && $header['download_content_length'] > 0) {
return json_decode($content, true);
}
}
}
you can put your json in a parameter and send it instead of put only your json in header:
$post_string= 'json_param=' . json_encode($data);
//open connection
$ch = curl_init();
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://webservice.local/'); // Set the url path we want to call
//execute post
$result = curl_exec($curl);
//see the results
$json=json_decode($result,true);
curl_close($curl);
print_r($json);
on the service side you can get your json string as a parameter:
$json_string = $_POST['json_param'];
$obj = json_decode($json_string);
then you can use your converted data as object.

how to send JSON array to server with no AJAX

i am trying to send an array of JSON objects to
PHP server using an hidden field
but all i am getting in the server is just a string
this is my javascript
function CreateArrayOfJSON()
{
var all_childrens = $('#form_div').find('*');//get all root element childrens
var form_elements = {
elements: []
};
for(var i=0;i<all_childrens.length;i++)
{
var id='#'+$(all_childrens[i]).attr('id'); //get id
var style_attr=$(all_childrens[i]).attr('style'); //get style inline
var classes=$(all_childrens[i]).attr("class");
form_elements.elements.push
({
"id" : id,
"style_attr" :style_attr,
"classes" :classes
});
}
document.getElementById('form_elements_array').value=form_elements;//fill hidden field
}
this is my PHP:
this will return Object object (as in the picture above)
$form_elements=$_POST['form_elements_array'];
this will return null
$form_elements=json_decode($_POST['form_elements_array']);
any ideas ?
thank you
document.getElementById('form_elements_array').value=JSON.stringify(form_elements);
can you paste the output string ?
or alternatively
You can use Curl for the same
$url = "URL Where you want to send data";
$ch = curl_init();
$attachment = array(
'name' => 'Your first field',
'link' => 'Second Field',
'description' => 'description here',
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $attachment);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
now php code on the receiver page
