I want to read the json data on the page http://mattrb.com/txt.txt
For example, let's say I want to get the name "Bulbasaur." I have this code:
<?php
$file = file_get_contents("http://mattrb.com/txt.txt");
$json = json_decode($file);
echo $json->1->name;
?>
This code causes the php to simply not load. Is this because you can't use a number? Next I tried this:
<?php
$file = file_get_contents("http://mattrb.com/txt.txt");
$json = json_decode($file);
$num = 1;
echo $json->$num->name;
?>
This allows the php to load, but still returns nothing. What am I doing wrong?
Your json should not contain newline and other invalid characters. In other words - your json is invalid. json_decode does not work on the file.
$file = file_get_contents("http://mattrb.com/txt.txt");
var_dump(json_decode($file));
// NULL
Your json is invalid. Please check at http://jsonlint.com/.
Also you can access "1" in php like this: echo $json->{1}->name;
Your json file isn't valide You have a comma problem item number 135 try to delete it so you can parse the file .
"135": {, //the problem of your json data is here
