Is this the string you're getting back? You can extract the status with regex:

 

preg_match('#"online_status": "([^"]+)#', $api, $online_status);
$online_status = array_pop($online_status);

I still havent sorted this this is as far as i have got and just cant get it to work

<?php

$gamertag = 'Oldg Slow';

$url = "http://www.oldgamerz.co.uk/xboxapi/xboxapi.php?gamertag=".urlencode($gamertag);


$output = file_get_contents($url);

$search = array('"OK"}}','{"user"');

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

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

//define variables
$online = ($obj->user->is_online);
$onlinestat = ($obj->user->online_status);

print $avatar;
print $onlinestat;


?>

Try:

<?php

$gamertag = 'Oldg Slow';

$url = "http://www.oldgamerz.co.uk/xboxapi/xboxapi.php?gamertag=".urlencode($gamertag);

$output = file_get_contents($url);

$json = json_decode(utf8_encode($output), true);

if($json === null) die("Error parsing JSON response (error #".json_last_error().").");

$online = $json['response'][0]['user']['is_online'];
$online_status = $json['response'][0]['user']['online_status'];

?>

Unfortunately I can't figure out the right encoding so the copyright mark shows up right.
