Doing something with JSON

[mykmallett]

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do anything with the JSON file that Facebook events give to me

 

I have this AJAX:

$.getJSON("getevent.php?event="+event,function(data)
{
var items = [];

  $.each(data, function(key, val) {
    items.push('<li id="' + key + '">' + val + '</li>');
  });

  $('<ul/>', {
    'class': 'my-new-list',
    html: items.join('')
  }).appendTo('body');
}

 

Which passes a Facebook events URL that the user enters to this PHP

 

$url = $_GET['event'];

parse_str( parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_QUERY ) );
$id = $eid;


$url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/'.$id;

$json = file_get_contents($url,0,null,null);
$json_output = json_decode($json, true);


echo $json

 

 

Which would output json like this:

 

{
   "id": "331218348435",
   "owner": {
      "name": "Julia Lam",
      "id": "2503747"
   },
   "name": "Facebook Developer Garage Austin - SXSW Edition",
   "description": "Join the Facebook team and local developers for a deep dive into the latest and most exciting ways developers are building with Facebook technologies.  \n\nCome to learn, stay to make friends!\n\nTentative Agenda:\n2:00 - 2:30 PM - Registration\n2:30 - 3:30 PM - Learn the latest from Facebook and local developers\n3:30 - 5:30 PM - Drink with friends!  Stay and mingle with your developer community.\n\n*Come early!  Drink tickets and t-shirts provided to the first 300 attendees.  Cash bar provided for all attendees.\n\nTopics & Speakers:\n--Multi-Platform Social Games (Gareth Davis, Facebook) \n--Increasing Mobile Engagement with Facebook Connect (Josh Williams, Gowalla)\n--Facebook Integration with Seesmic (or How to Build Community Using Octopus Balls...)

}

 

 

Its all working fine up until it is supposed to do something with the JSON. Firebug is saying it is recieving the JSON return fine. What I would like to eventually do with it is assign each part to a variable for later use, but I just cannot figure out what to do with it. Can anyone help, I have been reading conflicting tutorials and examples on ajax for days now.

 

Thanks

Mike
