Try using second parameter for json decode function    json   json decode file get contents  file   true

The clue is in the error message - if you look at the documentation for json decode note that it can take a second param  which controls whether it returns an array or an object - it defaults to object   So change your call to   json   json decode file get contents  file   true     And it ll return an associative array and your code should work fine

If you want to display the JSON data in well defined formate you can modify the code as   file put contents  file  json encode  json TRUE       headers   array  http   gt array  method   gt  GET   header   gt  Content  type application json  r n    agent  r n    hash       context stream context create  headers     str   file get contents  list txt  FILE USE INCLUDE PATH  context     str1 utf8 encode  str     str1 json decode  str1 true      foreach  str1 as  key  gt  value         echo  key is   key  n        echo  values are   t           foreach   value as  k             echo    k   t             code                  echo   lt br gt  lt  br gt            echo   n

Or just use  json as an object    json- gt  user   array  first    gt   first   last    gt   last     This is how it is returned without the second parameter  as an instance of stdClass

You need to make the decode function return an array by passing in the true parameter   json decode file get contents  file  true
