Using OpenWeatherMap forecast API in PHP

Question

I am trying to show the forecast for a city from openweathermap. But my foreach show nothing. Whats wrong?

<?php
  $url = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?zip=85080,de&lang=de&APPID=MYKEY";

  $contents = file_get_contents($url);
  $clima = json_decode($contents, true);

  foreach($clima as $data) {
    echo $data->list->main->temp_min;
  }
?>

Answer 1

The result from a json_decode(string, true) is an associative array.

<?php

  $url = "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?zip=85080,de&lang=de&APPID=MYKEY";

  $contents = file_get_contents($url);
  $clima = json_decode($contents, true);

  foreach($clima['list'] as $data) {
    echo $data['main']['temp_min'];
  }

?>

If you want to use object syntax, don't set associative to true.

$clima = json_decode($contents);

foreach($clima->list as $data) {
  echo $data->main->temp_min;
}
