POUsing theMovieDB to display Image Poster with PHP
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm new to using the themoviedb JSON api, and I'm currently trying to do something that seems simple: Display a movie's main poster. I got an API key and here is the code / response I'm using.</p> <pre><code>$ca = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ca, CURLOPT_URL, "http://api.themoviedb.org/3/configuration?api_key=MYAPIKEY"); curl_setopt($ca, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($ca, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE); curl_setopt($ca, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Accept: application/json")); $response = curl_exec($ca); curl_close($ca); //var_dump($response); $config = json_decode($response, true); //print_r($config); //$base = $config['base_url']; //echo($base); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=Monsters+University&api_key=MYAPIKEY"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Accept: application/json")); $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); $result = json_decode($response, true); //print_r($result); //var_dump($response); echo("<img src='" . $config[0]['base_url'] . $config[0]['poster_sizes'][2] . $result[0]['poster_path'] . "'/>"); </code></pre> <p>My only question now is I'm trying to echo a tag to display the poster, but I'm not sure what the correct code would be would it be something like this?</p> <pre><code>$responsePHP = json_decode($response); echo("<img src='" . $responsePHP['poster_path'] . "'/>"); </code></pre> <p>Any help would be appreciated!</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> Added the config array, but it the echo returns with nothing. The JSON for both print out fine and <code>print_r</code> seems to work with <code>json_decode</code>, I just don't know why I can't pull out any values from the arrays</p>
