PHP Using ($_GET['url']) and then displaying that json data? -

<?php  function get_stuff() {     ($_get['http://****removedforsecuritypurposes****.repairshopr.com/api/v1/tickets?api_key=****removedforsecuritypurposes****']);     echo $_get; }  get_stuff();  ?> /* yes, pointless closing tag, i'm cool that. */ 

for reason when run code output i'm getting "array" , can't figure out why? know array i'm getting url thought print in whatever format in? missing something?

thanks in advance!

you cannot pass website url $_get.

you should use file_get_contents()

$content = file_get_contents('http://your_url'); 

if have valid json can convert array.

$data = json_decode($content, true); 

then print it,

echo '<pre>'; print_r($data);
