I have updated my radio and TV application on my website. This now has a nice EPG that allows the display of all upcoming programs by state and will be very useful for keeping track of all of your favorite TV programs. See it here: https://www.securitronlinux.com/radio/epg.php. This is using PHP to parse an XML file and then display the results thusly. This is part of the radio and TV web application I created, This allows the listing of all radio and TV streams for any TV station you wish to watch. See the main application here: https://securitronlinux.com/radio/index.php. I have updated it with a nice CSS grid layout to fit as many items on the screen as possible. I think it looks very nice indeed. This is parsing a JSON file and then printing the output in a very nice format. I am very proud of this application and I hope it is very useful. Parsing JSON can be very tricky, especially when you need to parse a section below the current section you are printing. But this can be done eventually with some creative code.
Here is an example.
1218 1219 1220 1221 1222 1223 1224 1225 1226 1227 1228 1229 1230 1231 1232 1233 1234 1235 1236 | foreach ($json as $key => $value) { if (!is_array($value)) { echo '<p>', $key . '=>' . $value . '</p>'; } else { echo '<img src="', $value['logo'] . '" width="192" alt="" class="img1"/>'; echo '<p>', $value['name'] . ' '; echo '<p>', $value['description'] . ' '; echo '<br />', '<a href="' . $value['mjh_master'] . '">' . $value['mjh_master'] .'</a>' . '</p>'; // Check if 'programs' is present and is an array if (isset($value['programs']) && is_array($value['programs'])) { // Iterate through the 'programs' array foreach ($value['programs'] as $program) { echo '<p>', $program['program_name'] . ': ' . $program['program_description'] . '</p>'; // Add more properties as needed } } } } |
This is therefore very easy, it will print a section of JSON as shown below.
mjh-10-nsw {…} mjh-10bold-nsw chno 12 epg_id "mjh-10bold-nsw" headers {…} logo "https://i.mjh.nz/.images/10bold-nsw.png" mjh_master "https://i.mjh.nz/10bold-nsw.m3u8" name "10 BOLD" network "Ten" programs 0 0 1694475262 1 "Jake and the Fatman" 1 0 1694478931 1 "JAG" 2 0 1694482476 1 "JAG" 3 0 1694486022 1 "In the Dark" 4 0 1694489556 1 "Bull" 5 0 1694493122 1 "Jake and the Fatman" 6 […] 7 […] 8 […] 9 […] 10 […] mjh-10peach-nsw {…} mjh-10shake-nsw {…} mjh-7afl-FAST {…} mjh-7bravo-FAST {…} mjh-7flix-syd {…} mjh-7mate-syd {…} mjh-7now-FAST {…} mjh-7two-syd {…} |
The “programs” section is below the section I was printing and then I had to add extra code to print this along with the existing content.
// Check if 'programs' is present and is an array if (isset($value['programs']) && is_array($value['programs'])) { // Iterate through the 'programs' array foreach ($value['programs'] as $program) { echo '<p>', $program['program_name'] . ': ' . $program['program_description'] . '</p>'; // Add more properties as needed } } |
This was very easy.
