JSON values into HTML table

Question

I have a table.html, data.php and json.csv within the same folder.

data.php is doing fopen(\"json.csv\",\"r\") to read f

Answer 1

You just need json_decode and some iteration

http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php

I'll show you a very simplistic way to do the PHP. You don't tell anything about the JSON, so I'm assuming its flat (not nested). I think you might want to alter the client side stuff too. Make txtJSON into an empty div, which will be filled with the output from the PHP.

$file = $fopen("json.csv", 'r');
$fileText = fread($file, filesize($file));
$arr = json_decode($fileText, true); //i prefer associative array in this context

echo "<table>";
foreach($arr as $k=>$v)
    echo "<tr><td>$k</td><td>$v</td></tr>";
echo "</table>";

If your JSON is not flat and simple, what would you like the resulting table to look like?

You can use this library for converting Json to Standard HTML table: Json-To-Html-Table

Answer 3

Here I have taken json data in to $json variable, and then use foreach loop to create table from json data.

foreach ($data as $key => $jsons) {
 $table ='<table class="'.$jsons['class'].'" border="1">';
 foreach ($jsons as $rkey => $rvalue) {
    if($rkey=='head')
    {
        $table.='<tr>';
        foreach($rvalue as $rvv)
        {
            $table.='<th>'.$rvv.'</th>';
        }
        $table.='</tr>';
    }else
    if($rkey=='rows')
    {
        foreach($rvalue as $rvv)
        {
            $table.='<tr>';
            foreach($rvv as $rv)
            {
                $table.='<td>'.$rv.'</td>';
            }
            $table.='</tr>';
        }
    }
 }
}
echo $table;
?>
