How to parse Json data from remote server

Question

I want to extract data from a website (https://btc-e.com/api/2/btc_usd/ticker ) and then use the value got from this for my further tasks and function. Is there a way I can do it?

Answer 1

Yes, you can do it use the following code:

<?php

$content=file_get_contents("https://btc-e.com/api/2/btc_usd/ticker");

$data=json_decode($content);

//The values are stored in $data. Now you can use them for your functions
