how can fetch data?

here code:

<?php $url = "http://api.bf4stats.com/api/playerinfo?plat=pc&name=helltime"; $json = file_get_contents($url);  $data = json_decode($json); echo "<pre>"; print_r($data); ?>  

to name should this:

echo $data->player->name; 

you need because have stdclass object

you can change out array, have change this:

$data = json_decode($json); 

to this:

$data = json_decode($json, true); 

when make chagne can value this:

echo $data['player']['name']; 

edit

below can see example, works me no error.

$url = "http://api.bf4stats.com/api/playerinfo?plat=pc&name=helltime"; $json = file_get_contents($url);  echo 'using stdclass object option<br>'; $data = json_decode($json); echo $data->player->name;  echo '<br><br>using array option<br>'; $data = json_decode($json, true); echo $data['player']['name'];  exit;
