I’m trying to print specific data:

locations -> latLng -> lat

So my output will be: 32.074559

I’ve tried this:

$json = file_get_contents('THE API URL');
$obj = json_decode($json, true);        

echo $obj['locations']['latLng']['lat'];

But it’s not working, show nothing…

Answer

Her is a working example:

echo $obj['results'][0]['locations'][0]['latLng']['lat'];

Output:

32.074559
