@ExplosionPills: it was there, just not indented properly for code formatting. — Marc B

if you get false, then file_get_contents FAILED and returned a boolean false. — Marc B

I can point out a few things in your code. Some definitely need a little help.

You have these two lines.

$json = file_get_contents($jsonurl);

$json is already a json encoded string, I presume instead of the following line. You actually want to decode it into an array.

$json_output = json_encode($json);

Such as

$json_output = json_decode($json, true);

notice I used the true parameter to make sure it gets all the way decoded instead of an array of std class variables. but I suppose it would depend on what you want in your code.
