php json_decode function doesn't work with me
when decoding this json file 'https://2geekproar.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json&callback=showpostcount' , Nothing appears to me and i want o get $totalResults":{"$t":"4"} which equals '4' i want to decode this json file and get this value
my code
<?php
$url = 'https://2geekproar.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=json&callback=showpostcount' ;
$json = file_get_contents($url);
// Decode the JSON file
$json_data = json_decode($json,true);
// Display data
print_r($json_data);
?>
When you add echo json_last_error_msg(); to your script, you will see that you get the following error message:
Syntax error
That indicates to you, that the string you are trying to decode is not a valid JSON string.
Because of that, you are getting no output.
var_dump($json_data); // Returns NULL
So, because the string you are parsing is not well formatted, you have to check that out, viewing the URL shows:
// API callback
showpostcount({"version":"1.0","encoding":"UTF-8","feed":
// …
Which indeed is not a plain JSON object.
As pointed out in the comments under your question, you can fix that, by removing &callback=showpostcount from your request URL.

Will give you only your valid JSON object, which you can parse without problems:
{"version":"1.0","encoding":"UTF-8","feed":…
Decodes to:
array(3) {
["version"]=>
string(3) "1.0"
["encoding"]=>
string(5) "UTF-8"
["feed"]=>
array(18) {
["xmlns"]=> …
