In this article, We will discuss creating PHP CRUD using JSON File(CRUD Operation using JSON File in PHP). We want to demonstrate how to connect PHP with JSON File, We hope you can learn something new from this article. in our post through how to connect PHP to JSON File, create a new record, fetch a record, update record and delete the record.
Here, We need to convert PHP array to JSON for reading and write data. so we are using an array to JSON PHP in this example.
Step 1: fetch all records
Create a new PHP file index.php in this file in add the below code.
The following code shows how to fetch all the records from the database in the index file.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 | <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>CRUD Operation on JSON File using PHP</title> </head> <body> <table border="1" align="center"> <tr> <td colspan="7" align="right"><a href="add.php">Add</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>First Name</td> <td>Last Name</td> <td>Address</td> <td>Email</td> <td>Mobile</td> <td>Action</td> </tr> <?php $data = file_get_contents('users.json'); $data = json_decode($data); $index = 1; if(!empty($data)){ foreach($data as $row){ ?> <tr> <td><?php echo $row->first_name; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row->last_name; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row->email; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row->address; ?></td> <td><?php echo $row->mobile; ?></td> <td><a href="update.php?edit_id=<?php echo $index; ?>">Edit</a> <a href="delete.php?delete_id=<?php echo $index; ?>">Delete</a> </td> </tr> <?php $index++; } } ?> </table> </body> </html> |
Step 2: Create a new record
Create a PHP file add.php in this file in add the below code.
The code below in the INSERT query through create a new record to the JSON file. This HTML form contains input fields to enter the user’s data to be inserted into the JSON file.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 | <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>CRUD Operation using JSON File in PHP</title> </head> <body> <?php if(isset($_POST['btnadd'])){ $data = file_get_contents('users.json'); $data = json_decode($data, true); $add_arr = array( 'first_name' => $_POST['txtFname'], 'last_name' => $_POST['txtLname'], 'address' => $_POST['txtAddress'], 'email' => $_POST['txtEmail'], 'mobile' => $_POST['txtMobile'] ); $data[] = $add_arr; $data = json_encode($data, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT); file_put_contents('users.json', $data); header('location: index.php'); } ?> <form method="post" name="frmAdd"> <table align="center"> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center">Add Record</td> </tr> <tr> <td>First Name</td> <td><input type="text" name="txtFname"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Last Name</td> <td><input type="text" name="txtLname"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Address</td> <td><textarea name="txtAddress" rows="4" cols="16"></textarea> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email</td> <td><input type="text" name="txtEmail"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mobile</td> <td><input type="text" name="txtMobile"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Add" name="btnadd"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> |
Step 3: Update a record
Create a new update.php file and in this file to add the below code.
First, we will fetch a particular data record in the update form. On submitting edited user information we form an update query to edit the record with the reference of its edit_id.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 | <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>CRUD Operation using JSON File in PHP</title> </head> <body> <?php $edit_id = $_GET['edit_id']; //get json data $data = file_get_contents('users.json'); $data_array = json_decode($data, true); $row = $data_array[$edit_id]; ?> <?php if(isset($_POST['btnUpdate'])) { $update_arr = array( 'id' => $_POST['id'], 'first_name' => $_POST['txtFname'], 'last_name' => $_POST['txtLname'], 'address' => $_POST['txtAddress'], 'email' => $_POST['txtEmail'], 'mobile' => $_POST['txtMobile'] ); $data_array[$edit_id] = $update_arr; $data = json_encode($data_array, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT); file_put_contents('users.json', $data); header('location: index.php'); } ?> <form method="post" name="frmUpdate"> <table align="center"> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center">Update Record</td> </tr> <tr> <td>First Name</td> <td><input type="text" name="txtFname" value="<?php echo $row['first_name'];?>"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Last Name</td> <td><input type="text" name="txtLname" value="<?php echo $row['last_name'];?>"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Address</td> <td><textarea name="txtAddress" rows="4" cols="16"><?php echo $row['address'];?></textarea> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email</td> <td><input type="text" name="txtEmail" value="<?php echo $row['email'];?>"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mobile</td> <td><input type="text" name="txtMobile" value="<?php echo $row['mobile'];?>"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Update" name="btnUpdate"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> |
6. Delete Record from JSON File
Create a new delete.php file in this file to add the below code.
The below code is used to delete a particular record from the database.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | <?php $delete_id = $_GET['delete_id']; $data = file_get_contents('users.json'); $data = json_decode($data, true); unset($data[$delete_id]); //encode back to json $data = json_encode($data, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT); file_put_contents('users.json', $data); header('location: index.php'); ?> |
