I was trying to build a script that could get me definitions of words from the wikipedia API in php.
I tried several obtaining the definitions in an array and displaying the first definition but it didn't work. Can anyone please help me out. Any help is appreciated

Which parameters did you use in your request?
You can take this as an example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=PHP&limit=1&format=json
You said there that you want only the first definition, so you can put limit=1. The response is in json.

I am attempting to debug a php script I did not write. In order to check if a location already exists, they used the following:
$locTable = JTable::getInstance('Location', 'DPCalendarTable');
if ($locTable->load(array('latitude' => $data['latitude'],'longitude' => $data['longitude'])){
$_eventLocCache[$data['alias']] = (int)$locTable->id;
}
What is the purpose of "..->load(array..."?
Since you use Joomla it retrieves data from the table called Location
JTable::load() - Loads a row from the database and binds the fields
to the object properties.

Am fetching data from mysqlite to a string array which i want to submit to PHP then update a mysql table.
Any easy way out, because doesn't seem to work?
I suggest using the network monitor tool to see that the Codename One code is sending out the right data as explained in the IO section of the developer guide.
I notice your PHP code tries to decode JSON into an array whereas your Java code adds a POST array both of which have nothing in common. I don't really know PHP's equivalent for handling an array so I can't help you there. On the Codename One side you can just write the array as JSON by converting it to a JSON String.

I pass a variable called txt from one query on a web page to another web page using
<?php echo $_GET['txt'];?>
the problem some time the text will have a word like don't in it. the (') causes things to just stop. I need to output the variable as read from the database which would include any text that was in the field
When using $_GET you should use urlencode() and urldecode().
