How to get reverse geocode from php curl json

Question

i want to echo only fromatted_address from json but dont know how?
code below:

    <?PHP
$ch = curl_init();
$url = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=22.569794,88.357934';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, False);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, False);   //only header 
print "<pre>";
$bko = print_r(curl_exec($ch));
print "</pre>";
?>

just use `json_decode($string, true)` to convert it to an array — DevDonkey, May 03 '16 at 07:47

You just need to pass the returned json string into json_decode to convert it to an array, then access the keys of the array as you normally would do.

$array = json_decode($json_result, true);

foreach($array['results'] as $k => $result) {
 echo $result['formatted_address'] . PHP_EOL;   
}

returns

50, Chittaranjan Ave, Bowbazar, Kolkata, West Bengal 700012, India

CR Ave Rd, Bowbazar, Kolkata, West Bengal 700012, India

Bowbazar, Kolkata, West Bengal, India

Calcutta, West Bengal 700001, India
