I have this JSON:
{
"cache": true,
"data": [
{
"unique_id": "914239",
"description": "New Zealand 370/10 & 335/10 v Australia 70/1 & 505/10 *",
"title": "New Zealand 370/10 & 335/10 v Australia 70/1 & 505/10 *"
},
{
"unique_id": "973833",
"description": "Helmand Province Under-17s 135/10 * v Khost Province Under-17s 286/9 ",
"title": "Helmand Province Under-17s 135/10 * v Khost Province Under-17s 286/9 "
},
{
"unique_id": "935949",
"description": "Mid West Rhinos v Mashonaland Eagles 264/2 *",
"title": "Mid West Rhinos v Mashonaland Eagles 264/2 *"
},
{
"unique_id": "973379",
"description": "Mountaineers 136/10 v Matabeleland Tuskers 42 *",
"title": "Mountaineers 136/10 v Matabeleland Tuskers 42 *"
},
{
"unique_id": "959221",
"description": "Islamabad United v Quetta Gladiators",
"title": "Islamabad United v Quetta Gladiators"
}
],
"provider": {
"pubDate": "2016-02-23T14:01:01.467Z",
"source": "http://www.cricinfo.com/",
"url": "http://crm.wherrelz.com/"
}
}
and I need to display title and data in my PHP website.

Answer 1

Quite simple :
$raw_json = file_get_contents('data.json');
$array = json_decode($raw_json);
foreach ($array->data AS $data) {
echo $data->title;
echo '<br />';
echo $data->description;
echo '<br />';
}
Where of course the file data.json contains your json.

Answer 2

You can decode the data with json_decode you can find the full docs here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
In terms of an example piece of code, you could do something like the following:
$decoded = json_decode($json);
if (json_last_error() !== JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
// Do something when you don't have valid json.
}
foreach ($decoded->data as $data) {
echo $data->unique_id;
echo $data->title;
}
json_last_error() will allow you to catch any invalid JSON or any other potential errors that json_decode() may come across, so I'd definitely reccomend using it and ensuring you have decoded valid json before doing anything with it.
