Parse Json File

Question

Having trouble parsing this json feed with php, only returns a string instead of an object. Need to return the title and url field for each item.

function get_data($url) {
    $ch = curl_init();
    $timeout = 5;
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return $data;
}

$feed = json_decode(get_data('http://xxxx/?json=1&post_type=logos&count=5', TRUE));
var_dump($feed);
?>
<div class="content-box-right">
    <h1>LOGO &amp; GRAPHIC STANDARDS</h1>

    <div class="content-sep"></div>
    <?php foreach ($feed as $item) {  
           var_dump($item);?>
         } 
     ?>

</div>

are you sure your cURL output is in json format? Because if it's in json format, then I don't think there's anything that can go wrong here — Shades88

Ideally, you need to show what you are getting back - ie. the current return from get_data(). — Orbling

Unable to reproduce, not a string at all: codepad.viper-7.com/nsNQyX — hakre

Based on the structure of the JSON I see at that URL, it looks like if you are looking for the posts item, then you would need to access like:

<?php foreach ($feed->posts as $item) { ?>
