I am trying to get a few values from a JSON feed using PHP. I have tried many hours without success for some reason.

What I am trying to achieve is getting the title for each item from a json feed which looks like this:

stdClass Object
(
[rss] => stdClass Object
    (
        [@attributes] => stdClass Object
            (
                [version] => 2.0
            )

        [channel] => stdClass Object
            (
                [title] => PR.com Press Releases
                [link] => http://www.PR.com/
                [description] => Latest news releases from PR.com
                [ttl] => 60
                [image] => stdClass Object
                    (
                        [title] => PR.com Press Releases
                        [link] => http://www.PR.com/
                        [url] => http://www.PR.com/images/logo_white.jpg
                    )

                [item] => Array
                    (
                        [0] => stdClass Object
                            (
                                [title] => Nation’s Top Online Medical Weight Loss Provider Now www.hCGTreatments.com

                        [2] => stdClass Object
                            (

                                [dc_creator] => America's Registry of Outstanding Professionals
                                [dc_language] => en-us

                    )

            )

    )

)

My PHP code looks like this:

$url = "http://example.com/file.json"; // just an example
$json_file = file_get_contents("$url");

$json = json_decode($json_file, true);

foreach($rss->$item as $mydata)
{
echo $mydata->title . "\n";
}

I have tried hundreds of variations but fail to get all the titles..

Maybe someone could point me to the right direction.

Thank you :)

  • `$json = json_decode($json_file, true);` this would give you an associative array, and I don't know from where did `$rss` came from ? – Vishnu Nair Apr 30 '16 at 09:19
  • echo print_r($json, true) ; first see the result before use foreach statement.Then modify your $mydata->title – Gopalakrishnan Apr 30 '16 at 09:21

Try to get object like this

$url = "http://example.com/file.json"; // just an example
$json_file = file_get_contents("$url");

$json = json_decode($json_file, true);

foreach($rss->$item as $mydata->$value)
{
echo $value->title . "\n";
}
