The following url gives me some JSON:</p> <pre><code>https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=51.6896118,-0.7846495&destinations=51.7651382,-3.7914676&units=imperial&sensor=false </code></pre> <p>But I can't strip it out using PHP:</p> <pre><code><?php $du = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=51.6896118,-0.7846495&destinations=51.7651382,-3.7914676&units=imperial&sensor=false"; $djd = json_decode(utf8_encode($du),true); print("-".$djd."-"); ?> </code></pre> <p>Anybody know why this is?</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>The following worked just fine:</p> <pre><code><?php $pc1 = 'SA92NH'; $pc2 = 'HP270SW'; $url1 = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=".$pc1."&sensor=false"; $url2 = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=".$pc2."&sensor=false"; $url1_data = file_get_contents($url1); $url2_data = file_get_contents($url2); $json1_data = json_decode(utf8_encode($url1_data),true); $json2_data = json_decode(utf8_encode($url2_data),true); $longlat1 = $json1_data['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat'].",".$json1_data['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng']; $longlat2 = $json2_data['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat'].",".$json2_data['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng']; print($longlat1."<br>\n"); print($longlat2."<br>\n"); ?> </code></pre>
