When you json decode   force it to return an array instead of object    data   json decode  json  TRUE   - gt     TRUE   This will return an array and you can access the values by giving the keys

If you use the following instead    json   file get contents  url    data   json decode  json  TRUE     The TRUE returns an array instead of an object

While editing the code  because mild OCD   I noticed that weather is also a list  You should probably consider something like  echo  data 0 - gt weather 0 - gt weatherIconUrl 0 - gt value    to make sure you are using the weatherIconUrl for the correct date instance

This appears to work    url    http   www worldweatheronline com feed weather ashx q schruns austria amp format json amp num of days 5 amp key 8f2d1ea151085304102710 22    content   file get contents  url    json   json decode  content  true    foreach  json  data    weather   as  item        print  item  date        print   -        print  item  weatherDesc   0   value        print   -        print   lt img src       item  weatherIconUrl   0   value        border  0  alt      gt        print   lt br gt        If you set the second parameter of json decode to true  you get an array  so you cant use the -  syntax  I would also suggest you install the JSONview Firefox extension  so you can view generated json documents in a nice formatted tree view similiar to how Firefox displays XML structures  This makes things a lot easier

You have to make sure first that your server allow remote connection so that the function file get contents  url  works fine   most server disable this feature for security reason

Seems like you forgot the   value   or - gt value   echo  data 0 - gt weather- gt weatherIconUrl 0 - gt value
