I have a piece of code:

$pricesGrab = file_get_contents("prices.json", true);
$prices = json_decode($pricesGrab, true);

But for some reason the $prices is null for me. I have checked everything in my opinion: The file has data, file has minified JSON, JSON is valid.. I don't know what could be the issue now. I can't put JSON here, it's too big, if it's needed I can try to find a uploda site.

Why are you using `include path` and what is the content of `$pricesGrab`? – JustOnUnderMillions Mar 07 '17 at 12:37

Also if file is loaded right this `json_last_error(); / json_last_error_msg();` can help debugging. – JustOnUnderMillions Mar 07 '17 at 12:38
Oh, that true I left there, but it doesn't change anything and by the content you want me to upload the JSON data? – James Aniszt Mar 07 '17 at 12:39

I just want to know if the content was loaded right. You dont check this with your code. – JustOnUnderMillions Mar 07 '17 at 12:39
replace this $pricesGrab = file_get_contents("prices.json", true); with $pricesGrab = file_get_contents("prices.json"); – Rakhi Prajapati Mar 07 '17 at 12:41
Seems like the json_last_error() has solved my issue! – James Aniszt Mar 07 '17 at 12:41
