I have the url http://pubapi.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=singleorderdata&marketid=132 which leads to an array.
I want to get the value of the first 'sellorders' which in this case is: 0.00000048 and store it in the variable $sellorderprice.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Just access the url contents thru file_get_contents. Your page actually return a JSON string, to get those values into meaningful data, decode it thru json_decode, after that access the data needed accordingly:
$url = 'http://pubapi.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=singleorderdata&marketid=132';
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents($url), true);
$sellorderprice = $data['return']['DOGE']['sellorders'][0]['price'];
echo $sellorderprice;
That code actually points directly to index zero 0 which gets the first price. If you need to get all items an just simply echo them all you need to iterate all items thru foreach:
foreach($data['return']['DOGE']['sellorders'] as $sellorders) {
echo $sellorders['price'], '<br/>';
}
Its simple, you just have to decode json like this:
$json = file_get_contents("http://pubapi.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=singleorderdata&marketid=132");
$arr = json_decode($json, true);
$sellorderprice = $arr['return']['DOGE']['sellorders'][0]['price'];
