Json parse from url

[techker]

Hey guy's im calling an api and getting back 

 

{

    "user_info": {

        "username": "u",

        "password": "p",

        "message": "",

        "auth": 1,

        "status": "Active",

        "exp_date": "1521306691",

        "is_trial": "0",

        "active_cons": "0",

        "created_at": "1518887491",

        "max_connections": "1",

        "allowed_output_formats": [

            "m3u8",

            "ts",

            "rtmp"

        ]

    },

    "server_info": {

        "url": "server",

        "port": "25461",

        "rtmp_port": "8001",

        "timezone": "Europe/London",

        "time_now": "2018-03-06 14:05:59"

    }

}

 

im trying to parse in ph to get username and password.

 

I have tried lots of ways but no success?

 

example :

  $data = json_decode(file_get_contents($url), true);
        echo "id: ", $data['user_info']['username'];
        echo '<br>';
        echo "Name: ", $data['password'];
        echo '<br>';
       

or

$obj = json_decode($url2);
print $obj->{'username'};

or

$jfo = file_get_contents($json_file);
// read the title value
$title = $jfo->server_info->url;
// copy the posts array to a php var
$posts = $jfo->user_info->username;

no luck?do I have to use like a multilevel son method?

The first method should work. If it doesn't then $url is wrong or the returned JSON does not look like what you think it looks like.

Dump out $data to see what you're working with.

 

The second won't because json_decode does not accept URLs. It wants a JSON string. Someone didn't read the documentation.

The third won't because file_get_contents returns a string. It does not decode JSON. Someone didn't read the documentation.

json_decode() is returning an object. Try:

 

 

$jsonStr = file_get_contents($url);
$dataObj = json_decode($jsonStr);
echo $dataObj->user_info->username;
