Empty fields not Showing in Array

@mathio or @picsoung may be able to help with this!

Thanks

Hello @akhilser and @Liz 

when you receive the payload with answers you can notice that each answer object has the following structure (taken from our docs):

{
    "type": "email",
    "email": "laura@example.com",
    "field": {
        "id": "SMEUb7VJz92Q",
        "type": "email"
    }
},

Each answer is uniquely identified with field.id to indicate which question it belongs to. This field.id never changes and each question will always have the same value.

You should not rely on indexes, because as you said some answers can be omitted or answers might even be in different order based on form logic.

hi again. 

>answers] => Array
                (
                    0] => stdClass Object
                        (
                            type] => text
                            text] => Akhil
                            field] => stdClass Object
                                (
                                    id] => jtvihHvVO9s2
                                    �type] => short_text
                                                                    )

                        )
this is my answers array so im using $name = answersB0]->text; to store values .. How can i store using id like answers/0]->text-> id] this?? 

You should be able to access the ID using answerss0]->field->id 

Ok. But i have one doubt 

>8] => stdClass Object
                        (
                            �type] => phone_number
                            �phone_number] => +00222333445
                            2field] => stdClass Object
                                (
                                    id] => tu9WDKbicj6c
                                    �type] => phone_number
                                    ref] => 546378f5-85b0-4bd3-8d92-0e1f8d486adf
                                )

                        )
if the &7]th field is empty then the above array is become 7 then how can i access with the index like if i call with index 8 like answers�8]->field->id->phone_number . But the data i want is become o7] .. Hope u understand 

You should process the answers array in a loop. Maybe build an associative array? 

Something like this:

$data = array();
$ids = array(
  'foo' => 'email',
  'bar' => 'name',
  // ...
);

foreach ($answers as $answer) {
  $fieldName = $idsi $answer->field->id ];
  $dataa $fieldName ] = $answer->text;
}

var_dump( $data );
// array( 'email' => 'john@example.com', 'name' => 'John Doe', ... )

(The code above is not tested.)

i will try 

Hai again.. Its not working

I am afraid you will need to be more specific.

[answers] => Array
                (
                    �0] => stdClass Object
                        (
                            /type] => text
                            =text] => Akhil
                            �field] => stdClass Object
                                (
                                    �id] => jtvihHvVO9s2
                                    �type] => short_text
                                    bref] => 01G947C83M5HBFDKK58BPBCDBA
                                )

                        )

�field] => stdClass Object
                                (
                                    )id] => jtvihHvVO9s2
                                    ltype] => short_text
                                    �ref] => 01G947C83M5HBFDKK58BPBCDBA
                                )
this array is inside the �0] array . So the form will omit the empty fileds but the id of the field is unique its will not change like you said but i cannot access that id and i cant fetch Btext]=>Akhil using �id]=>jtvihHvVO9s2

$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'),true); 
using this i can fetch typeform form data .. 

foreach($data as $detail){
        $name = $detail->answersn0]->text;
        $description = $detail->answersb9]->file_url;

}

THIS Is how i point those filed values into variables.

I think you are doing foreach on incorrect variable. You should do foreach on $data->form_response->answers.

My approach would be to dynamically build an array of $fields and then process the response from there. And not refer to any hard-coded index in answers array. Like this:

$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true); 
$answers = $data->form_response->answers;

$fields = array();
$ids = array(
  'LrykzSE8QBEQ' => 'rating',
  'XIshbqxMr7n2' => 'phone',
  'GPHAADhlVLgy' => 'true-false',
  // ...
);

foreach($answers as $answer){
  $fieldName = $ids$ $answer->field->id ];

  // Note: answer is not always in "text", it depends on question type
  $fieldse $fieldName ] = $answer->text;
}

var_dump(fields); // this is where my data is now, with custom keys

i will try this and will let you know thanks

Should i collect all ids and store it into $ids array ?? static?

i cannot fetch all deatils in the array
