    <p>I feel like I'm overthinking this. What I want to do is pull the most recent photos from the instagram api and save the resulting json information as a cache file. I'll then use jQuery to read from that file -- I've got that part figured out. What I'm using now is saving it in a cache file, but not in a format that I recognize. I think I'm overcomplicating this.</p> <p>This is code I've been working with based on a tutorial I found:</p> <pre><code>// Client ID for Instagram API $instagramClientID = '9110e8c268384cb79901a96e3a16f588'; $api = 'https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/popular?client_id='.$instagramClientID; //api request (edit this to reflect tags) $cache = 'cache.txt'; if(file_exists($cache) &amp;&amp; filemtime($cache) &gt; time() - 60*60){ // If a cache file exists, and it is newer than 1 hour, use it $images = unserialize(file_get_contents($cache)); } else{ // Make an API request and create the cache file // For example, gets the 32 most popular images on Instagram $response = file_get_contents($api); //change request path to pull different photos $images = array(); // Decode the response and build an array foreach(json_decode($response)-&gt;data as $item){ // Decodes json (javascript) into an array $title = ''; if($item-&gt;caption){ $title = mb_substr($item-&gt;caption-&gt;text,0,70,"utf8"); } $src = $item-&gt;images-&gt;standard_resolution-&gt;url; //Caches standard res img path to variable $src $lat = $item-&gt;data-&gt;location-&gt;latitude; // Caches latitude as $lat $lon = $item-&gt;data-&gt;location-&gt;longtitude; // Caches longitude as $lon $images[] = array( "title" =&gt; htmlspecialchars($title), "src" =&gt; htmlspecialchars($src), "lat" =&gt; htmlspecialchars($lat), "lon" =&gt; htmlspecialchars($lon) // Consolidates variables to an array ); } // Remove the last item, so we still have // 32 items when when the cover is added //array_pop($images); // Push the cover in the beginning of the array //array_unshift($images,array("title"=&gt;"Cover", "src"=&gt;"assets/img/cover.jpg")); // Update the cache file file_put_contents($cache,serialize($images)); } </code></pre>

    1. COIf you want to save the file as JSON, use `json_encode` instead of `serialize`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
