Parsing Rome2Rio json file with PHP - php

Question

I am trying to extract a segment from the json file of Rome2Rio API with PHP but I cant get an output.
The json file from rome2rio:
{
"serveTime": 1,
"places": [
{ "kind": "town", "name": "Kozani", "longName": "Kozani, Greece", "pos": "40.29892,21.7972", "countryCode": "GR", "regionCode": "ESYE13" },
{ "kind": "city", "name": "Thessaloniki", "longName": "Thessaloniki, Greece", "pos": "40.64032,22.93527", "countryCode": "GR", "regionCode": "ESYE12" }
],
"airports": [],
"airlines": [],
"aircrafts": [],
"agencies": [{
"code": "KTEL",
"name": "KTEL",
"url": "http://www.ktelbus.com/?module=default\u0026pages_id=15\u0026lang=en",
"iconPath": "/logos/Trains/KTELgr.png",
"iconSize": "27,23",
"iconOffset": "0,0"
}
],
"routes": [
{ "name": "Bus", "distance": 121.04, "duration": 120, "totalTransferDuration": 0, "indicativePrice": { "price": 9, "currency": "EUR", "isFreeTransfer": 0 },
"stops": [
{ "name": "Kozani", "pos": "40.30032,21.79763", "kind": "station", "countryCode": "GR", "timeZone": "Europe/Athens" },
{ "name": "Thessaloniki", "pos": "40.6545,22.90233", "kind": "station", "countryCode": "GR", "timeZone": "Europe/Athens" }
]
The PHP code I wrote is:
$json_rome2rio = file_get_contents("http://free.rome2rio.com/api/1.2/json/Search?key=&oName=kozani&dName=thessaloniki");
$parsed_json_r = json_decode($json_rome2rio);
echo $parsed_json_r->agencies->name;

Answer 1

The agencies property contains an array of agencies (note the square brackets). To access the name as you're after, you can do the following:
echo $parsed_json_r->agencies[0]->name;
This assumes that at least one agency is returned and that the agency you are after is the first one if more than one is returned.
