Question

I need some album covers for my PHP website but something is not working anymore.

I was using a JSON to get Album ID and then i was using this id to get the album cover.

My problem is that i try to decode a json from website but i don’t get any result anymore (it was working before …).

Here is the code (getting JSON and decoding it) :

$req="http://api-v3.deezer.com/1.0/search/track/?q=".$deezer."&index=0&nb_items=8&output=json";
$result = file_get_contents($req);
$testjson=json_decode($result,true);

Answer 1

I think you are using an old code of Deezer api (1.0 and I don’t get any JSON from your url).

Try to change $req by :

$req="http://api.deezer.com/2.0/search/album/?q".$deezer."&index=0&nb_items=8&output=json";

Then, some code are missing and are important to change too.

When you try to get your image, don’t forget to change the url too with that version (2.0).
