parse twitter status with json php
326
I am trying to parse a twitter user stats (with php) -- I am pretty unfamiliar with parsing json so this is giving me a bit of a headache (I'm missing something silly here I know). I've looked at a bunch of answers/posts from others but can't quite peg it. Any help is appreciated.
Essentially what i want to get is the [url] and the [text] but I keep getting errors in php.

Answer
Solution:
The json_decode function takes an optional 2nd parameter to return an associative array instead of an object.
Try:
json_decode($your_json_var, false)Then, you can just retrieve the values normally as you would with any array.
