I hope this is the correct forum for PHP questions related to sql server.
I would like to pull data for all the cities in my county from the census API into a table in sql server. I have been working on the code and was successful in having it write a record to the database table for the total number of items in the array returned by the API, unfortunately, they are all blank records.
I imagine this is something simple, and I will work to resolve, but if anyone has a thought, it is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
