[AndrewFerrara]

Can't figure out why this is not working for me... please help! Thanks

 

<?php

$gamertag = 'l RaH l';

$url = "http://api.xboxleaders.com/user_api.php?gamertag=".rawurlencode($gamertag);


$output = file_get_contents($url);

// try to convert the response into a PHP object
$obj = json_decode($output);

if(!is_object($obj)) 
die("Error parsing JSON response\n");

//define variables
$avatar = ($obj->user->avatar);
$gold = ($obj->user->gold);

print $gold;
print $avatar;

?>

What error are you getting?

 

What is $output equal to?

 

What does the print_r on the $obj look like?

 

When you're debugging, you have to know everything about your program.  You want to know what every little variable is equal to and why it's acting the way it is.  Post on my blog about it here.

Please somebody actual take a look at this

 

It like to different parent Arrays i guess, no clue how to access the second one

 

this is what the $output prints:

I was trying to "actually help."  You can't just post code, say it doesn't work, and expect to get helpful responses back.  We need to know what your code is doing.

 

If you followed the guidelines in that blog post, you could probably figure this out for yourself.

 

That looks like fine output for $output.  What does $obj print out?
