so I know basic PHP, I coded a basic mysql/php inventory system awhile ago. I want to get more experience. My idea is to grab reddit comments, display them on a page, and then save them in a database. My problem is I don't know how to grab and make sense of JSON data.
For example, here is a JSON link to a reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/117ckb/introducing_three_new_hires/.json
Goal:
INPUT BOX -> reddit unique thread id in input box (http://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/<6 digit unique ID>) -> loads reddit comments on the page
That's my current goal, would really appreciate a nudge in the right direction with processing JSON. I know I COULD just Google it, but I'm posting in hopes of someone having experience with the above and offering their expertise on the topic.
