Get value from PHP json_decode

Question

a website as https://api.site.tld/myvalue returns a JSON object:

{
    "alpha": "first",
    "beta": "second",
    "charlie": "third"
}

This code returns instead "Trying to get property 'beta' of non-object..."

$org = "https://api.site.tld/$mvalue";
$character = json_decode($org);
echo $character->beta;

Where I wrong? Thanks!

You need to retrieve the content of the webpage first. Then you can decode it :

$org = "https://api.site.tld/$mvalue";
$content = file_get_contents($org);
$character = json_decode($content);
echo $character->beta;
