How to Insert JSON Data into MySQL using PHP

Hi, in this PHP TUTORIAL, we'll see How

to insert JSON Data into MySQL

using PHP. Check out its reverse

process of Converting Data from MySQL

to JSON Format in PHP here. Converting

json to mysql using php includes several

steps and you will learn things like how to

read json file, convert json to array and

insert that json array into mysql database

in this tutorial. For those who wonder

what is JSON, let me give a brief

introduction.

JSON file contains information stored in JSON format and has the extension of "*.json". JSON

stands for JavaScript Object Notation and is a light weight data exchange format. Being

less cluttered and more readable than XML, it has become an easy alternative format to store

and exchange data. All modern browsers supports JSON format.

Do you want to know how a JSON file looks like? Well here is the sample.

As you can see by yourself, the JSON format is very human readable and the above file

contains some employee details. I'm going to use this file as an example for this tutorial and

show you how to insert this JSON object into MySQL database in PHP step by step.

As the first and foremost step we have to connect PHP to the MySQL database in order to

insert JSON data into MySQL DB. For that we use mysql_connect() function to connect

PHP with MySQL.

<?php

$con = mysql_connect("username","password","") or die('Could not conn

ect: ' . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("employee", $con);

?>

Here "employee" is the MySQL Database name we want to store the JSON object. Learn more

about using mysqli library for php and mysql database connection here.

Next we have to read the JSON file and store its contents to a PHP variable. But how to read

json file in php? Well! PHP supports the function file_get_contents() which will read

an entire file and returns it as a string. Let’s use it to read our JSON file.

<?php

//read the json file contents

$jsondata = file_get_contents('empdetails.json');

Step 1: Connect PHP to MySQL Database

Step 2: Read the JSON file in PHP

?>

Here "empdetails.json" is the JSON file name we want to read.

The next step for us is to convert json to array. Which is likely we have to convert the JSON

string we got from the above step to PHP associative array. Again we use the PHP json

decode function which decodes JSON string into PHP array.

<?php

//convert json object to php associative array

$data = json_decode($jsondata, true);

?>

The first parameter $jsondata contains the JSON file contents.

The second parameter true will convert the string into php associative array.

Next we have to parse the above JSON array element one by one and store them into PHP

variables.

<?php

//get the employee details

$id = $data['empid'];

$name = $data['personal']['name'];

$gender = $data['personal']['gender'];

$age = $data['personal']['age'];

$streetaddress = $data['personal']['address']['streetaddress'];

$city = $data['personal']['address']['city'];

$state = $data['personal']['address']['state'];

$postalcode = $data['personal']['address']['postalcode'];

$designation = $data['profile']['designation'];

$department = $data['profile']['department'];

?>

Using the above steps, we have extracted all the values from the JSON file. Finally let's insert

the extracted JSON object values into the MySQL table.

<?php

//insert into mysql table

$sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_emp(empid, empname, gender, age, streetaddres

s, city, state, postalcode, designation, department)

VALUES('$id', '$name', '$gender', '$age', '$streetaddress', '$city',

'$state', '$postalcode', '$designation', '$department')";

if(!mysql_query($sql,$con))

Step 3: Convert JSON String into PHP Array

Step 4: Extract the Array Values

Step 5: Insert JSON to MySQL Database with PHP Code

6/3/16 How to Insert JSON Data into MySQL using PHP

4/19www.kodingmadesimple.com/2014/12/how-to-insert-json-data-into-mysql-php.html

{

die('Error : ' . mysql_error());

}

?>

We are done!!! Now we have successfully imported JSON data into MySQL database.

Here is the complete php code snippet I have used to insert JSON to MySQL using PHP.

<?php

//connect to mysql db

$con = mysql_connect("username","password","") or die('Could not conn

ect: ' . mysql_error());

//connect to the employee database

mysql_select_db("employee", $con);

//read the json file contents

$jsondata = file_get_contents('empdetails.json');

//convert json object to php associative array

$data = json_decode($jsondata, true);

//get the employee details

$id = $data['empid'];

$name = $data['personal']['name'];

$gender = $data['personal']['gender'];

$age = $data['personal']['age'];

$streetaddress = $data['personal']['address']['streetaddress'];

$city = $data['personal']['address']['city'];

$state = $data['personal']['address']['state'];

$postalcode = $data['personal']['address']['postalcode'];

$designation = $data['profile']['designation'];

$department = $data['profile']['department'];

//insert into mysql table

$sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_emp(empid, empname, gender, age, streetaddres

s, city, state, postalcode, designation, department)

VALUES('$id', '$name', '$gender', '$age', '$streetaddress', '$city',

'$state', '$postalcode', '$designation', '$department')";

if(!mysql_query($sql,$con))

{

die('Error : ' . mysql_error());

}

?>

How do you use this for more than one row of data? Say in the json there are two empid's,

and you want to insert each of them?

Reply

Valli Pandy January 19, 2015 11:30 PM

Hi, just loop through the json array if you have multiple rows like this.

//read the json file contents

$jsondata = file_get_contents('empdetails.json');

//convert json object to php associative array

$data = json_decode($jsondata, true);

foreach($data as $row)

{

//get the employee details

$id = $row['empid'];

...

//insert into db

mysql_query($sql,$con);

}

Valli Pandy February 01, 2015 7:34 PM

Hi Umair, you haven't mentioned what error you are getting with the above code.

But I could see you are trying to run a "*.php" file and get the output. Passing the

exact file path to file_get_contents() won't execute the file.

Instead try using this,

file_get_contents('http://localhost/lobstersapi/monitoring_log.php')

Also make sure your web server is running for this to work.

Hope this helps you :)

Umair February 01, 2015 8:19 PM

my json data that i am getting from iphone developer is {

"New item" : {

Valli Pandy February 02, 2015 9:03 PM

Hi, I could see some inconsistencies in your code. Do you get the json output

properly? Even then, if the output contains single row like this,

{

"New item" : {

"PM" : "false",

"AM" : "false"

},

"title" : " Unit 13"

}

then you should not use foreach loop to parse it. Use the loop only if json output

contains multiple rows that looks something like this,

[{

"New item" : {

"PM" : "false",

"AM" : "false"

},

"title" : " Unit 13"

},

{

"New item" : {

"PM" : "false",

"AM" : "false"

},

"title" : " Unit 14"

}]

Also while retrieving data from json, you should use the exact key attribute like this,

$am = $row['New item']['AM'];

$pm = $row['New item']['PM'];

$unit = $row['title'];

(I could see you are using lower case and wrong key attributes here).

Note: If you don't get error print the values in browser and make sure you get the

desired result.

Nice tutorial,

But I want to store JSON data as a JSON into mysql, not the way you have done, then what

are the steps to store and retrieve JSON from mysql using php?

Reply

Valli Pandy February 28, 2015 12:57 AM

Hey! you can store json data in mysql without breaking up into columns. Only

proper escaping of json will protect the db from security risk.

But it's not a proper way to do as it just stores a long length of string and will

restrict mysql's ability to search, sort or index data and processing concurrent

queries.

This thread discusses the topic in more detail

How can a json from an api be saved into mySQL? For example I have this json coming from

an api http://api.androidhive.info/json/movies.json. How can I save this data into the

database?

Reply

Valli Pandy April 04, 2015 1:22 AM

Hi,

If your json o/p is from remote server like the one you have mentioned

(http://api.androidhive.info/json/movies.json) then pass the complete url like this,

//read json file

$jsondata = file_get_contents('http://api.androidhive.info/json/movies.json');

This should work :)

Valli Pandy May 25, 2015 5:21 AM

Hi, the json you have given is invalid with the comma (,) at the end of the last item

("type" : "artist",). It should be like,

$json_data = '[{

...

"popularity" : 72,

"type" : "artist"

}]';

Also the square brackets [] around json data makes it an array. So you should

iterate through it like this,

foreach ($data as $row) {

$href = $row['external_urls'];

$followers = $row['followers']['total'];

$genres = $row['genres'];

$id = $row['id'];

$name = $row['name'];

$popularity = $row['popularity'];

$type = $row['type'];

//insert values into mysql database

$sql="INSERT INTO `spotify`(`external_urls`, `followers`, `genres`, `empid`,

`empname`, `popularity`, `type`)

VALUES ('$href', '$followers', '$genres', '$id', '$name', '$popularity', '$type')";

}

This should work :)

Valli Pandy July 31, 2015 11:54 PM

Hi, What error you get? From the json you have given below, the business id

seems to be a string value. Did you set the mysql 'datatype' for the said id field as

varchar or not? Please make sure you use the matching datatypes for the mysql

field attributes.

For the last query,

Your query is not clear and I hope this is what you want to ask.

The given json is a complex nested object and to get the value for the key 'garage'

you should use like this,

$garage = $data['attributes']['parking']['garage'];

If you have queries apart from this, please make it clear.

Cheers.

Anonymous August 13, 2015 7:56 AM

Is it possible to exclude certain lines from going into the database? My json file has

1 array with about 20 items in it. Do I just not write in those specific lines in the php

so it'll ignore them? I know the file is small, just doing this as a learning tool.

Valli Pandy August 15, 2015 3:12 AM

Hi, you can do it by checking on the key value on json records like this,

//convert json object to associative array

$data = json_decode($jsondata, true);

//loop through the array

foreach ($data as $row) {

if ($row['empid'] != '5121') { //replace this with your own filter

//get the employee details

$id = $row['empid'];

....

//insert into mysql table

$sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_emp(empid, empname, gender, age, streetaddress, city,

state, postalcode, designation, department)

VALUES('$id', '$name', '$gender', '$age', '$streetaddress', '$city', '$state',

'$postalcode', '$designation', '$department')";

...

}

}

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Hi Vallie,

Hmm what if that was a dynamic JSon result, instead of INSERT syntax to MySQL, possible

to UPDATE syntax, or using PHP with if statement before INSERT-ing ?

Reply

Valli Pandy September 17, 2015 12:21 AM

Hi,

The process is same for dynamic json too, for e.g., you can make an api call and

store the result in a variable and proceed in the same way discussed above.

For your second question, yes you can use the json values with UPDATE query

also. As for using if statement, say you want to insert the values only for 'SALES'

department, then use it like

If ($department == "SALES") {

// Insert into DB

// or process the data as you wish

}

Hope that helps!

Cheers.

Welcome! Accessing your json data like this won't work. The key "food_items": [ ]

itself is representing an array. Note that the square brackets around [] is

considered as array and should be parsed with loop.

Working with json array is clearly described in another tutorial. Please check this

url: http://www.kodingmadesimple.com/2015/10/insert-multiple-json-data-into-

mysql-database-php.html

Let me know if you need any more help.

Cheers.

Hi! Say you have all the json files stored in a directory, you can read through the

files one by one like this.

$jdir = scandir($dirpath);

foreach($jdir as $file)

{

//read the json file contents

$jsondata = file_get_contents($file);

...

}

Cheers:)
