You are retreiving xml.
Why are you parsing it as json?
Use SimpleXmlElement instead and then iterate through xml elements to retreive your data.
$xml = file_get_contents($map_url);
$simpleXmlElement = simplexml_load_string($xml);
var_dump($simpleXmlElement);
Here: :)
$url = 'http://www.kongregate.com/games_for_your_site.xml';
$content = file_get_contents($url)
$xml = simplexml_load_string($content);
$count = 0;
foreach ($xml as $game) {
echo strval($game->id) . PHP_EOL;
echo strval($game->title) . PHP_EOL;
echo strval($game->thumbnail) . PHP_EOL;
echo strval($game->launch_date) . PHP_EOL;
echo strval($game->category) . PHP_EOL;
if (isset($game->screenshot) && is_array($game->screenshot)) {
foreach ($game->screenshot as $screenshot) {
echo strval($screenshot) . "\n";
}
}
echo strval($game->flash_file) . PHP_EOL;
echo strval($game->width) . PHP_EOL;
echo strval($game->height) . PHP_EOL;
echo strval($game->description) . PHP_EOL;
echo strval($game->instructions) . PHP_EOL;
echo strval($game->gameplays) . PHP_EOL;
echo strval($game->rating) . PHP_EOL;
if ($count >= 100) {
break;
}
$count++;
}
