Well, I am trying to use json_decode to get a users twitch name via their steam ID, however I am getting an error, and I have read other users issues and I am no closer to fixing it.
Here is my code:
$getcontents = file_get_contents('http://api.twitch.tv/api/steam/76561198049928469');
var_dump(json_decode($getcontents));
$twitchname = $getcontents ['name'];
echo $twitchname;
Here is my error:
Warning: Illegal string offset 'name' in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\data\localweb\projects\Portfolio -- Website\forum\index.php on line 29
I have looked at documentation on the dev forums on twitch and I cannot find a way to fix this.
I have also looked at answers on these forums and I cannot find a way to fix this.
Forgot this; vardump output:
object(stdClass)#2 (2) { ["_id"]=> int(59956494) ["name"]=> string(10) "riggster98" }
