i have a php file that return json. here my php file.

http://dev.mediaodd.com/data/testjson.php

if i use writing testjson.json file it will success but if i use .php it will failed.

this is my output script:

<?php

// copy file content into a string var



$jsondata = file_get_contents('http://dev.mediaodd.com/data/testjson.php');

$obj = json_decode($jsondata,true);





echo $obj['company'][0]['id'];



?>

what did i do wrong?

file_get_contents cant read .php file?

my testjson.php file return same as testjason.json file.

after clarification by OP, the following is not the case

file_get_contents cannot read from url resource unless this has been setup explicitly in php.ini configuration (not recommended mostly for security reasons).

So you should not use file_get_contents('http://dev.mediaodd.com/data/testjson.php'); to read an http resource, but instead read from local php files only that exist in the (server) disk
