BEHANCE API Fetch

Question

Having trouble pulling a list of project IDs from the BEHANCE.NET API.

Ideally, I would like to end up with a single comma seperated variable somewhat like this:

$ids = "1,2,3,4,5"

The current code I am using:

// GET LIST OF PROJECTS AND STORE IDS IN A COMMA SEPERATED VARIABLE
$url = 'http://www.behance.net/v2/users/ami/projects?api_key=123465798';
$content = file_get_contents($url);
$json = json_decode($content, true);

$idn = count($json['project']['id']);
//echo $n;
for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++) {
foreach($idjson['project'] as $stat => $value) {
if (strlen(strstr($stat,'id')))  {

print $value;
}
}
}

Quite confused to be honest, anyone have any idea how I can do this without all that messy code (that doesnt work) ?

Below is aa copy of the json feed:

Appreciate any help!

Answer 1

Not entirely sure of what is it you want, but taking it as a string of project ids delimited by commas here's a solution:

<?php
    $json = <<<JSON
