I was wondering how on earth to get a json string into php.. here's my string:
and you should see this returned:
twttr.receiveCount({"count":0,"url":"http:\/\/www.onewiththem.com.au\/"});
I was wondering how to get the count number and have it set up in the variable $count ?
Simple, using json_decode() and file_get_contents():
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://www.onewiththem.com.au/'));
echo $data->count;
Note that I removed the &callback= from the URL, because that's only used for JSONP and PHP doesn't need it.
If you mean get it in javascript, then the data in your callback function is the object. You could get the count just by data.count.
twttr.reciveCount = function (data) {
console.log(data.count);
// do the rest
}
If you call the api from php, then you should not use the callback parameter. Get the JSON response and then use json_decode to decode it. (Don't forget urlencode the url parameter.)
$response = file_get_contents('http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url='.urlencode('http://www.onewiththem.com.au/'));
$json = json_decode($response);
echo $json->count;
&callback=. Are you asking for a JSON parser?
