Get data from JSON file with PHP

Get the content of the JSON file using file_get_contents():

$str = file_get_contents('http://example.com/example.json/');

Now decode the JSON using json_decode():

$json = json_decode($str, true); // decode the JSON into an associative array

You have an associative array containing all the information. To figure out how to access the values you need, you can do the following:

echo '<pre>' . print_r($json, true) . '</pre>';

This will print out the contents of the array in a nice readable format. Note that the second parameter is set to true in order to let print_r() know that the output should be returned (rather than just printed to screen). Then, you access the elements you want, like so:

$temperatureMin = $json['daily']['data'][0]['temperatureMin'];
$temperatureMax = $json['daily']['data'][0]['temperatureMax'];

Or loop through the array however you wish:

foreach ($json['daily']['data'] as $field => $value) {
    // Use $field and $value here
}

Demo!

Use json_decode to transform your JSON into a PHP array. Example:

$json = '{"a":"b"}';
$array = json_decode($json, true);
echo $array['a']; // b

Try:
$data = file_get_contents ("file.json");
        $json = json_decode($data, true);
        foreach ($json as $key => $value) {
            if (!is_array($value)) {
                echo $key . '=>' . $value . '<br/>';
            } else {
                foreach ($value as $key => $val) {
                    echo $key . '=>' . $val . '<br/>';
                }
            }
        }
