$json = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/hotel_list.php');
var_dump($json);
$array = json_decode($json, true);
var_dump($array);

Answer 1

The json that you are trying to parse is invalid. Change the single quotes to double quotes and you should be able to parse it to an array.
The JSON documentation says
A value can be a string in double quotes, or a number, or true or false or null, or an object or an array. These structures can be nested.

Answer 2

This should work:
$json = '{ "hotel_1page": [ { "id": "10", "name": "fsf", "telephone": "233333" }, { "id": "11", "name": "setttttt", "telephone": "213123123" }, { "id": "12", "name": "fsdfsdf", "telephone": "122212121" }, { "id": "13", "name": "xxcvcxv", "telephone": "2147483647" }, { "id": "14", "name": "dssdfg", "telephone": "2147483647" }, { "id": "15", "name": "dfsdfsdf", "telephone": "21312321" }, { "id": "16", "name": "fx_test_nw1", "telephone": "23232323" }, { "id": "17", "name": "fx_test_nw2", "telephone": "31313131" } ] }';
echo '<pre>';
var_dump(json_decode($json, true));
echo '</pre>';
I replaced all single quotes with double quotes, that did the trick.
I used single quotes before which caused json_decode to return null
[Edit for usage]
To use the data, you could use something like this:
$obj = json_decode($json, true);
foreach($obj as $row)
{
foreach($row as $key => $item)
{
// $item['id']
// $item['name']
// $item['telephone']
}
}
I'm using a nested foreach() because the id, name and telephone are an array within the hotel_page1 array
