I have searched for almost 30 minutes and still can't find the answer for my problem. So, here is it: I have an JSON-file called "localeDE.l", now I'm trying to print the objects to the website, "locale_name"(type: string) works, but "translations"(type: array) won't work.

My JSON file: 

"locale_name": "DE",
"translations": [
    {"Welcome": "Willkommen",
     "Goodbye": "Auf Wiedersehen"}
]

Here my PHP file:

$file = file_get_contents('localeDE.l');
$locale = json_decode($file);
print_r($locale);
echo "Locale=" . $locale->{'locale_name'};
echo "Translations:";
echo "  Welcome:" . $locale->{'translations'}->{'Welcome'};
echo "  Goodbye:" . $locale->{'translations'}->{'Goodbye'};

I also tried something like (...) $locale->{'translations.Welcome'}; etc. Can You help me?

    json_decode() returns an array, not an object. $local['translations']['Welcome'] Commented Jul 31, 2015 at 20:44

Figured it out!

Now I figured it out how it works! Thanks alot to you!

Additionals

Here are my code pieces: 

$json = file_get_contents('localeDE.l');
$obj = json_decode($json, true);
echo $obj['locale_name'];
echo $obj['translations'][0]['Welcome'];
echo $obj['translations'][0]['Goodbye'];

And my JSON file is unrelevant, for those who are interested, see the answer of Makville above.

Thanks alot! :)

First the JSON like you typed it here is incomplete. It's missing both opening and closing curly braces.

It should be

{"locale_name": "DE",
 "translations": [
     {"Welcome": "Willkommen",
     "Goodbye": "Auf Wiedersehen"}
]}

The php to read it 

$obj = json_decode($json, true);
//to read the locale name
echo $obj['locale_name'];
//to read the translation of welcome
echo $obj['tranlations'][0]['Welcome'];
//to read the tranlation of goodbye
echo $obj['translations'][0]['Goodbye'];

Cheers.

@Makville: Sorry but I get this error:Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in C:\xampp\htdocs\API\debug.php on line 7
Try replacing json_decode($json); with json_decode($json, true);
