I’m trying to get a PHP script to work when I call a table with a GET. I want to modify the JSON response to meet the format needed by my mobile app to display the information.

I have put this script on my service Dining as a table get post process ( dining.\_table.RightNow.get.post\_process). The intent is to get it to return the JSON in a way that can be consumed in the mobile app tool.

Here is my php:  
###########################  
$data = event.response.content;

$info = json\_decode($data);

ob\_start();

echo ’  
{  
“metadata”: {  
“version”: “1.0”  
},  
“content”: [  
{  
“elementType”: “portlet”,  
“navbarTitle”: “Dining Budget”,  
“height”: “medium”,  
“content”: [  
{  
“elementType”: “carousel”,  
“items”: [  
{  
“title”: “As of: ‘.$info-\>AsOf.’ ?\>”,  
“subtitle”: “Status: **‘.$info-\>budgetstatus.’** ”,  
“subtitle”: “Spend: **‘.$info-\>Spent.’** ”,  
“image”: {  
“url”: “[https://s3.amazonaws.com/gwmobile/’.$info-\>image.’.jpg](https://s3.amazonaws.com/gwmobile/'.%24info-%3Eimage.'.jpg)”  
}  
},  
{  
“title”: “Details”,  
“subtitle”: “Average Daily Spend: **‘.$info-\>DailyAvg.’** ”,  
“subtitle”: “Daily Budget Amount: **‘.$info-\>DailyBudget.’** ”  
}  
]  
}  
]  
}  
]  
}  
’  
;  
$myStr = ob\_get\_contents();

return $myStr;

ob\_end\_clean();

###########################

I’m sure I’m just not thinking clearly. My hope is to use this for students in my course, which is a business students that won’t be strong at programming and system administration. DreamFactory would work great for them to connect a mobile app provided this PHP can work.

Thanks,  
Mark

Hi @gwmalbert,

Can you confirm you have ‘_can modify response_’ checked? If that is not the problem can you please show the error.

Thank you,  
Kevin

Yes - the can modify response flag is checked. The script is set to active as well.

I’m not getting an error. I just not getting this script to execute at all. Whenever I go to the endpoint through the API Docs or through Postman it returns the same JSON response I get if the script isn’t even there.
