Copying information from imdb

Question

Good morning to everyone , well I’m creating an application in PHP and I need to get information from Imdb movies ,What better way to capture information from Imdb? Curl or there’s some api I can help you with?

Answer 1

You need to decode the response and assign it to variables (all in PHP).

<?php
$id = $_POST["id"];
$url = file_get_contents("http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=$id");
$json = json_decode($url, true); //This will convert it to an array
$movie_title = $json['Title'];
$movie_year = $json['Year'];
//and so on...

and then when you need to echo them:

echo $movie_title;

or

echo "The movie '$movie_title' was made in $movie_year.";

You can use this one too: PHP-IMDB-API is in json.
