PHP json_decode returns int(1)

Question

I'm having some trouble accessing a json string - Demo Link

  //PHP CODE 
$json = curl_exec($ch); 
$json = json_decode($json, true);
var_dump($json);

  // RESULTS
@{"error":"Bank account validation failed.","error_type":null,"code":400}
int(1)

Any help would be highly appreciated!

@ClaudioSantos - read the documentation for curl_exec(): php.net/curl_exec — Pavel Petrov

Sorry, My bad. Try to echo the output of curl_exec(). What you're getting? — Alok Patel

I imagine you're not setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER - curl_exec just returns true or false unless that's set to true, which would end up as a 1 after json_decode — iainn

curl_exec($ch)

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. However, if the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option is set, it will return the result on success, FALSE on failure.

Why the hostility? You could simply have referenced that explanation and given a short code snippet showing how to do it.

Agreed with @Yoshi. Removed the bomb at the end.
