json array to standard array

Let me explain my problem, I am supposed to call a web service before the contact form is shown, the return of the web service is:

$items = json_decode('[{"location":[{"building":["Building1"],"name":"Location1"}],"name":"Organization1"},{"location":[{"building":["Building2"],"name":"location2"}],"name":"Organisation2"},{"location":[{"building":["Building3"],"name":"Location3"}],"name":"Organization3"}]');

Here I have extracted only the organisations,locations and building using the following code:

foreach( $items as $each ){
    echo $each->location[0]->building[0];
    echo $each->location[0]->name;
    echo $each->name;
}

I would like to get the values of organisations, buildings and locations in different arrays in this format:

("building1", "building2", "building3")
("organisation1", "organisation2", "organisation3")
("location1", "location2", "location3")

To take your existing code and modify it a tiny bit;

$buildings = array( );
$organisations = array( );
$locations = array( );
foreach( $items as $each ){
    $buildings[] = $each->location[0]->building[0];
    $organisations[] = $each->location[0]->name;
    $locations[] = $each->name;
}

The results are now in the variables defined at the top. [] simply tells it to append a value to the end of the array.

Here's how you do it:

$arrays = array();
$arrays['buildings'] = array(); // buildings
$arrays['organisations'] = array();
$arrays['locations'] = array();
foreach( $items as $each ){
    $arrays['buildings'][] = $each->location[0]->building[0];
    $arrays['organisations'][] = $each->location[0]->name;
    $arrays['locations'][] = $each->name;
}
