json_decode, foreach only return one row from json string [duplicate]

Question

In my "cart" table "items" column I store json_encoded strings. I decode, loop trough and grab them as an array. It works fine as long as the items has different product ID-s:

[{"id":"56","size":"Small","quantity":"1"},{"id":"53","size":"Medium","quantity":"2"}]

But when the items have the same product ID it only shows the last one in the json string, in this case "Large":

[{"id":"53","size":"Small","quantity":"1"},{"id":"53","size":"Large","quantity":"2"}]

I made a var_dump for the products and it says that the two items are there, but like I said it only shows the last one in the output.

$txn_id = sanitize((int)$_GET['txn_id']);
$txnQuery = $db->query("SELECT * FROM transactions_alternative WHERE id = '{$txn_id}'");
$txn = mysqli_fetch_assoc($txnQuery);
$cart_id = $txn['cart_id'];
$cartQ = $db->query("SELECT * FROM cart WHERE id = '{$cart_id}'");
$cart = mysqli_fetch_assoc($cartQ);
$items = json_decode($cart['items'],true);
$idArray = array();
$products = array();var_dump($items);
foreach($items as $item){
   $idArray[] = $item['id'];
}
$ids = implode(',',$idArray);
$productQ = $db->query("SELECT i.id as 'id', i.title as 'title', c.id as 'cid', c.category as 'child', p.category as 'parent'
   FROM products i
   LEFT JOIN categories c ON i.categories = c.id
   LEFT JOIN categories p ON c.parent = p.id
   WHERE i.id IN ({$ids})");
  while($p =  mysqli_fetch_assoc($productQ)){

    foreach($items as $item){
      if($item['id'] == $p['id']){
        $x = $item;
        continue;
      }
    }
    $products[] = array_merge($x,$p);var_dump($products);
   }
 ?>

You are overwritting $x

Replace

$x = $item;

with

$x[] = $item;

And initialize $x = []; before the foreach loop;

If I replace $x = $item with $x[] = $item; I get Undefined index: for quantity and size. What do you mean exactly by "initialize $x = [];" ?

what version of php are you using? if you are using an older version than 7.0 you will have to initalize the variable as $x = array();

I'm using 5.6. Okay, I see but before which foreach loop? And what happens is I switch to php 7.1.7? Do I have to use arrays?

The issue here is that $x is different now. You need to debug and see why array_merge isn't giving you the correct data.

I made a var_dump: $products[] = array_merge($x,$p);var_dump($x); It only shows one item. But if i do a var_dump "$products = array();" it shows the two item. So for some reason $x is only giving me just one item from the string
