You can use [RecursiveArrayIterator][1] to iterate a multidimensional array

[1]: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/recursivearrayiterator.getchildren.php

$jsonIterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator( new RecursiveArrayIterator(json_decode($json, TRUE)), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST); foreach ($jsonIterator as $key => $val) { if(is_array($val)) { echo "$key:\n"; } else { echo "$key => $val\n"; } }
The output :
John: status => Wait Jennifer: status => Active James: status => Active age => 56 count => 10 progress => 0.0029857 bad => 0

To iterate over a multidimensional array, you can use [RecursiveArrayIterator][1]
$jsonIterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator( new RecursiveArrayIterator(json_decode($json, TRUE)), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST); foreach ($jsonIterator as $key => $val) { if(is_array($val)) { echo nl2br("$key:\n"); } else { echo nl2br("$key => $val\n"); } }
Output:
John: status => Wait Jennifer: status => Active James: status => Active age => 56 count => 10 progress => 0.0029857 bad => 0
