$x++;
}

I am trying to show 'The Wolf Of Wall Streets' information. This is not working and I am not too sure how to get it working Ive had a look around and it's all just a bit too confusing. Please help.
I would also like to have a page where you can select a category and then the films within that category show up (limited to 15 per page)
If anyone can help me with that I will say thank you. Thank You

First thing, you don't need the title of the movie in your API call. You can do like this :
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/106646?api_key=5094e4539de46c1abd1461920f3a3fb9
This call return informations from 1 movie, so you don't need a while loop do display these informations :
echo ("<img src='" . $config['images']['base_url'] . $config['images']['poster_sizes'][1] . $result['poster_path'] . "'/>");
echo (" ". $result['title'] . "<br/>");
echo ("<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://www.themoviedb.org/\">TMDb</a> ". $result['vote_average'] . "/10 <br/>");
echo (" ". $result['release_date']);
echo (" ". $result['genre']);
For your list, first build a genre list with there IDs :
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/movie/list?api_key=5094e4539de46c1abd1461920f3a3fb9
Then list your movies :
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/genre/28/movies?api_key=5094e4539de46c1abd1461920f3a3fb9&page_size=2
Instead of a while loop, you can do a foreach like this :
foreach ($results as $movie) {
echo '<li>'.$movie['title'].'</li>
}
