Decode php encoded json not working

Question

Here is my data.php

$global = $pdo->query("SELECT name, age");
$global = $global->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$arr = array('data'=>$global);    
echo json_encode($arr, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Here is my index.php

<html>
    <?php
        $json_url = "data.php";
        $json = utf8_encode(file_get_contents($json_url));
        $data = json_decode($json, false);
        echo "<pre>";
        print_r($data);
        echo "</pre>";
    ?>
</html>

I get blank data. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

First of all make sure file_get_contents is actually returning something. If not, check your logs to see what file its actually requesting. Use a full-path ex: http://location/path/to/data.php

I have had issues with reading JSON without setting the Content-Type. header('Content-Type: application/json')

Try this:

$query = "SELECT * FROM table";
$stmt = $pdo->query($query);
$global= $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$arr = array('data'=>$global);    
echo json_encode($arr);
//echo json_encode($arr, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
