Question

I am trying to get some information about YouTube channel’s from the YouTube API.

This is an example the output (using Google’s channel), http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/Google?alt=json

I am getting the JSON using this:

$json = file_get_contents("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/Google?alt=json");
$data = json_decode($json, true);

I uploaded the output of var_dump($data); to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/CWA7YYGi

What I want to get is totalUploadViews from yt$statistics.

What I have tried so far is:

echo $data['yt$statistics']['totalUploadViews'];

But this gives me an error: Notice: Undefined index: yt$statistics

Not sure what I am doing wrong, would appreciate the help.

Answer 1

yt$statistics is itself a value of a parent array. Try

$data['entry']['yt$statistics']['totalUploadViews'];
