I'm trying to figure out how to use the Yelp Fusion API with PHP to return the Yelp rating and location for a specific business.
I've looked for a code sample for the Yelp Fusion Business API in action, but I can't find one. I did find an example for the Yelp Fusion Search API (https://github.com/Yelp/yelp-fusion/blob/master/fusion/php/sample.php), but I'm not a developer and I'm struggling modifying it to work for my needs.
Can someone please show me how to develop a php file that will get the business data for a specific business (pick anyone or use the-crack-shack-encinitas) and how to echo these individual pieces of data (ratings and location)?
Thank you for your time and assistance.

I was able to get help on the Yelp GitHub Page https://github.com/Yelp/yelp-fusion/issues/202
Below is the solution I cam up with and it works.
$arr = json_decode($pretty_response);
echo "Rating is - " . $arr->rating . "<br>" . "Address<br>" . $arr->location->display_address[0] . "<br>" . $arr->location->display_address[1];
