JSON not displaying with error in PHP

Question

I'm looking to display Json from a url (http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MSyA8CBZ). Then, I want the "steamid" to be displayed. Currently, I am using this code, but it's not working:

<?php 
$json = file_get_contents('http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=MSyA8CBZ');
$obj = json_decode($json);
echo $obj->response->players->steamid; 
?>

I get the error: Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/u434538987/public_html/testjson.php on line 4 What is wrong with my code?

players is an array, so it should be $obj->response->players[0]->steamid; — putvande

As mentioned in the comment, players is an array, is you could have seen if you had done print_r($obj) or even saw what the URL you load produced. So you should do :

$obj->response->players[0]->steamid;
