Example Code

	
 $apikey = 'pi_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
 $url = 'https://unlimitedcriminalchecks.com/api/Person/';
 $name = 'John Smith';
 $state = 'FL'; 
 $json = file_get_contents($url . '/?apikey=' . $apikey . '&name=' . $name . '&state=' . $state);
 $parsed = json_decode($json, true);
 foreach($parsed as $data)
	 {
		 echo urldecode($data['name']);
		 echo urldecode($data['dob']);
		 echo urldecode($data['address']);
		 echo urldecode($data['crime']); 
	 }

JSON / PHP CODING BASICS
Converting JSON to PHP is easy using json_decode().
Create a test.php page using your favorite code editor. The free and popular Notepadd++ is recommended for beginners.
Copy/Paste the Example JSON/PHP Code on the right to your test.php page. If you're new to PHP try this tutorial.
Change the apikey variable on the first line to your own, save and publish to your web server. Now test by visiting the page you just published (ie www.yoursite.com/test.php)
Our example code is very basic and designed to assist you, the developer in learning and understanding how json_decode works. The foreach() part is what cycles through the results.
