Json to PHP Table - symfony

Question

$file = dirname(__FILE__) . '/myFile.xml';
$xml = simplexml_load_file("$file");
$json = json_encode($xml);
Here's my json code:
{
"Commands1": [{
"Name": "XLS1",
"Activated": "true",
"values": [{
"Name": "Cmd",
"default": "false"
}, {
"Name": "Ls",
"default": "false"
}, {
"Name": "rmdir",
"default": "false"
}],
"Commands2": [{
"Name": "SKA1",
"Activated": "true",
"values": [{
"Name": "Cp",
"default": "false"
}, {
"Name": "Tcpdump",
"default": "false"
}, {
"Name": "rmdir",
"default": "false"
}]
}]
}]
}
In my controller I open a XML file, and I'd like to know if it's possible to show its content in a table ? If so can someone give me a simple example ?
The result should be like
Name | Values
xls1 | cmd, ls,rmdir
SKA1 | cp, tcpdump,rmdir

Answer 1

The value of the JSON file decode it into a Associative Array and pass it to the view. From there act like you would acct with a normal AssocArray.
In controller:
$assoc_array_results = json_decode($json_file_result);
return $this->render('view.html.twig', array('results' => $assoc_array_results));

Answer 2

Well, it certainly is possible. You need to first decode it into an array.
$s = json_decode($json,true);
Then, comes the foreach() loop. You will have to consider each and every key-value pair and then iterate that loop to print your result.
PS: Apparently, I found a mistake in your Json String. Your Commands2 is becoming a subset of Commands1. Here is your correct Json.
{
"Commands1": [
{
"Name": "XLS1",
"Activated": "true",
"values": [
{
"Name": "Cmd",
"default": "false"
},
{
"Name": "Ls",
"default": "false"
},
{
"Name": "rmdir",
"default": "false"
}
]
}
],
"Commands2": [
{
"Name": "SKA1",
"Activated": "true",
"values": [
{
"Name": "Cp",
"default": "false"
},
{
"Name": "Tcpdump",
"default": "false"
},
{
"Name": "rmdir",
"default": "false"
}
]
}
]
}
And, Here is a reference, You can check How will your table look like when from JSON.http://json2table.com/
Now, Regarding your table, No one is gonna write the code for you on stack. So, I suggest go Baby steps if you wanna learn it. Here is a reference for you http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_looping_for.asp
