How to echo JSON in PHP [closed]

Question

I just need a little help with using cURL and JSON in PHP since I never actually got around to doing this. What I am trying to accomplish is to take the ign of the payment and echoing it, also limiting on how much can be posted by the latest donation first.

if you want to encode or decode an array from or to JSON you can use these functions

$myJSONString = json_encode($myArray); $myArray = json_decode($myString); 

json_encode will result in a JSON string, built from an (multi-dimensional) array. json_decode will result in an Array, built from a well formed JSON string

with json_decode you can take the results from the API and only output what you want, for example:

echo $myArray['payload']['ign'];
