Hi this is the deepest I have ever dove into PHP because today I started using curl to access the Proofhub REST API. I have managed to get the data I wanted from the API but now I want to use that data to create a dashboard.

I want to use the file I created with the JSON array to set variables in PHP. Variables like id name, variables that correspond to the data I have in the JSON array.

Section of JSON Array file:

{
"id": 896585647,
"title": "Butterfly Scheme Project",
"description": null,
"color": "#B200FF",
"start_date": "2016-06-08",
"end_date": null,
"template": false,
"sample_project": false,
"status": {
  "id": 262601041
},
"favourite": false,
"favourite_sort": null,
"import_id": 0,
"assigned": [
  1228530673,
  1228517105,
  1228625654,
  2004959642,
  1228503536
],
"category": {
  "id": 665985348
},
"creator": {
  "id": 1228530673
},
"manager": {
  "id": 1228530673
},
"created_at": "2016-06-08T09:51:52+00:00",
"updated_at": "2018-02-15T11:25:12+00:00"
}

I understand that I may have to use include or file_get_contents to acheive this, but I just don't know how. I hope you can help.

    Can you post what you have tried so far? the code you are using to fetch the file at least? post it in the question by editing it. – Spoody Apr 10 '18 at 14:47

    You are looking for [json_decode](http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php) – mtr.web Apr 10 '18 at 14:48
  • You'll want to do `json_decode(file_get_contents('blah.json'), true);` – B3none Apr 10 '18 at 15:14
