use false option with json decode to get an object
$j='{"error":"0","errorString":"","reply":{"nonce":"5e4155ca5f720","realm":"VMS"}}'; $nonce=json_decode($j,false)->reply->nonce;
// "5e4155ca5f720"

Is there a way to get value of json object from a URL in PHP?
So i am trying to get values of json object from a url, when i hit that url using the GET method on postman i get something like this
{
"error": "0",
"errorString": "",
"reply": {
"nonce": "5e415334832a8",
"realm": "VMS"
}
}
So, i am trying to write a php code that displays the value of nonce in the browser but it is not working i have the following code
$getNonceUrl = "https://example.com/api/getNonce";
$getContect = file_get_contents($getNonceUrl);
$jsonNoce = json_decode($getContect, true);
$dd = $jsonNoce->reply[0]->nonce;
echo $dd;
I also did this
$ch = curl_init("https://193.178.55.230:3389/api/getNonce");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $ch->reply[0]->nonce;
But it does not seem to work still.

@sr57 the thing is that i want to get it from the link using the GET Method

Of course, but your first lines should work.
$getNonceUrl = "https://example.com/api/getNonce";
$getContect = file_get_contents($getNonceUrl);

@sr57 i get this boolean false when i
$getNonceUrl = "https://193.178.55.230:3389/api/getNonce";
$getContect = file_get_contents($getNonceUrl);
var_dump($getContect);

@sr57 Oh yeah you are right, when i changed https to http it worked :)
below is the full solution
$getNonceUrl = "http://example.com/api/getNonce";
$getContect = file_get_contents($getNonceUrl);
$jsonNoce = json_decode($getContect, true);
$dd = $jsonNoce['reply']['nonce'];
echo $dd;
exit();

I imagine the 2nd bit is the php code generated by Postman
If there was no error, $data should be a json string so this should work:
$array = json_decode($data, true);
var_export($array);

@psrz i get NULL
Level 10
@monstajamss If var_export() is showing null then $data is an invalid json string
After curl_exec() add these lines
$error = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ($error) {
echo "cURL Error #:" . $error;
} else {
echo $data;
}
