Justin Bieber","artist":"Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee","album":"","size":"9193600","url":"http://sami-server.info/Bita6/04.96/Billboard%20Hot%20100%20Singles/Billboard%20Hot%20100%20Singles/01.%20Luis%20Fonsi%2C%20Daddy%20Yankee%20-%20Despacito%20ft.%20Justin%20Bieber.mp3","time":"1499079781","date":"Jul 3, 2017","source":"","active":"1","albumart":"https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/5150NxehQtL._AC_US160_.jpg","speed":"21","counter":"850850"}

public function getSong($id) {
$song_url = 'http://databrainz.com/api/data_api_new.cgi?jsoncallback=&id='.$id.'&r=mpl&format=json&_=';
$api = Api::getSpotOn($song_url);
$song = $api->{'song'};
return $song;
}
I want to get all it content.
Thanks!

Answer 1

In the json example you provided a final '}' is missing and the json_decode will return Null without it as it's non a valid json.
But, since you have the getSong method the following should work:
$retObject = json_decode(getSong($songId));
$song = $retObject->song;
print_r($song);
echo 'returncode:'.$song->returncode.'<br/>';
echo 'returnmsg:'.$song->returnmsg.'<br/>';
echo 'title:'.$song->title.'<br/>';
echo 'artist:'.$song->artist.'<br/>';
echo 'album:'.$song->album.'<br/>';
echo 'size:'.$song->size.'<br/>';
echo 'url:'.$song->url.'<br/>';
echo 'time:'.$song->time.'<br/>';
echo 'date:'.$song->date.'<br/>';
echo 'source:'.$song->source.'<br/>';
echo 'active:'.$song->active.'<br/>';
echo 'albumart:'.$song->albumart.'<br/>';
echo 'speed:'.$song->speed.'<br/>';
echo 'counter:'.$song->counter.'<br/>';

try the following:
$result = json_decode(
'{
"song": {
"returncode": "200",
"returnmsg": "OK",
"title": "Despacito Ft. Justin Bieber",
"artist": "Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee",
"album": "",
"size": "9193600",
"url": "http://sami-server.info/Bita6/04.96/Billboard%20Hot%20100%20Singles/Billboard%20Hot%20100%20Singles/01.%20Luis%20Fonsi%2C%20Daddy%20Yankee%20-%20Despacito%20ft.%20Justin%20Bieber.mp3",
"time": "1499079781",
"date": "Jul 3, 2017",
"source": "",
"active": "1",
"albumart": "https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/5150NxehQtL._AC_US160_.jpg",
"speed": "21",
"counter": "850850"
}
}'
);
var_dump($result);
echo $result->song->title;
