Question

I have this code that gets the IP address and Latitude and Longitude of the user. However I am wanting ti display it on a map if it finds the lat and long.

$theirip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$fileinfo = file_get_contents("http://api.easyjquery.com/ips/?ip=".$theirip."&full=true");

This outputs a string like this.

{“IP”:”000.000.00.000″,”continentCode”:”Unknown”,”continentName”:”Unknown”,”countryCode2″:”Unknown”,”COUNTRY”:”Unknown”,”countryCode3″:”Unknown”,”countryName”:”Unknown”,”regionName”:”Unknown”,”cityName”:”Unknown”,”cityLatitude”:0,”cityLongitude”:0,”countryLatitude”:0,”countryLongitude”:0,”localTimeZone”:”Unknown”,”localTime”:”0″}

I am wanting to retrieve just the cityLatitude and cityLongitude from this. I have researched some and tried some different code.

$lat = $fileinfo -> {"cityLatitude"};

but i’m not quite sure how to go about this. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

its a JSONObject… just use the json_decode() to get data from it
