    <p>I have an Android application that sends data via HTTP POST method to a PHP script and am trying to parse the data to store into a MySQL. The Android app was not written by me but I have access to the source code which I have included below; it sends the data packed as a JSON array. My PHP script right now gets the raw data and writes it to a text file for the time being:</p> <pre><code>$filename = __DIR__.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR."jsontest.txt"; $postdata = file_get_contents("php://input"); file_put_contents($filename, "$postdata \n", FILE_APPEND); </code></pre> <p>The text file writes out the data like this:</p> <pre><code>{"records":[{"name":"accelerator_pedal_position","value":15.400001,"timestamp":1367598908.278000},{"name":"engine_speed","value":1716.0,"timestamp":1367598908.285000},{"name":"vehicle_speed","value":32.040001,"timestamp":1367598908.290000},{"name":"brake_pedal_status","value":false,"timestamp":1367598908.293000},{"name":"fuel_consumed_since_restart","value":0.147325,"timestamp":1367598908.301000},{"name":"transmission_gear_position","value":"third","timestamp":1367598908.304000},{"name":"steering_wheel_angle","value":-2.3733,"timestamp":1367598908.307000},{"name":"fuel_consumed_since_restart","value":0.14745,"timestamp":1367598908.314000},{"name":"transmission_gear_position","value":"third","timestamp":1367598908.317000},{"name":"door_status","value":"driver","event":false,"timestamp":1367598908.320000},{"name":"door_status","value":"passenger","event":false,"timestamp":1367598908.326000},{"name":"door_status","value":"rear_left","event":false,"timestamp":1367598908.329000},{"name":"door_status","value":"rear_right","event":false,"timestamp":1367598908.331000},{"name":"odometer","value":0.0,"timestamp":1367598908.338000},{"name":"high_beam_status","value":false,"timestamp":1367598908.341000},{"name":"steering_wheel_angle","value":-2.3733,"timestamp":1367598908.343000},{"name":"engine_speed","value":1716.0,"timestamp":1367598908.351000},{"name":"powertrain_torque","value":74.0,"timestamp":1367598908.358000},{"name":"accelerator_pedal_position","value":12.1,"timestamp":1367598908.364000},{"name":"latitude","value":42.293911,"timestamp":1367598908.367000},{"name":"longitude","value":-83.238762,"timestamp":1367598908.376000},{"name":"engine_speed","value":1718.0,"timestamp":1367598908.380000},{"name":"vehicle_speed","value":32.200001,"timestamp":1367598908.382000},{"name":"brake_pedal_status","value":false,"timestamp":1367598908.391000},{"name":"transmission_gear_position","value":"third","timestamp":1367598908.393000}]} </code></pre> <p>This is just one of many "records" that are received. I have a MySQL database set up with Name, Value, Event, and Timestamp columns and want each of these to be insert into there as they are received.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
