<?php
$string = file_get_contents("http://www.reddit.com/r/news.json");
$array = json_decode($string, true);
echo $array['data'][0]['children'][0]['data'][0]['title'][0];
?>
I've got a problem- the code doesn't echo anything.
I'm kinda new to json_decode, so any help is appreciated :-)

Here's the url to the exact output, I had to trim the code to fit the character limit so maybe there's something I messed up ! :P
