Question

I am working with the JSON in which I have to fetch the location of particular city e.g: http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Vanguard,CA,%20United%20States&output=json

Now in PHP how can I write the code to fetch the “Point” data ?

Answer 1

So long as you have allow_url_fopen on in php.ini, you can use file_get_contents(). You can then parse with json_decode().

$json = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=Vanguard,CA,%20United%20States&output=json'), TRUE);

$json is now an array of your JSON data.
