you can either use curl or file_get_contents to achieve this .. — Mittul At TechnoBrave

i have a small request to the contributers of this community who are answering such questions, can we just give the hint to the users who are asking such questions instead of provinding them ready code and giving them solution and getting upvotes .. i guess if we follow this, it will ultimately imrove the users who are asking such questions ..i hate downvoting on this as it will demotivate the users hence i try to follow this principle.. what you say .. — Mittul At TechnoBrave

@RaxWeber well for me, its all about contibuting to the community by helping people instead of getting upvotes :) upvotes are just reward which you will eventually get if you help in a manner :) .. hope it makes sense. — Mittul At TechnoBrave

Just get the contents of the file, decode it, then print:

<?php
    $content = json_decode(file_get_contents("abc.json"), true);
    print_r($content);
?>

no.. not like that .. i am trying to show them in a list,,, but orint_r shows them in raw format.. like total array structure.. i dont need this..

@SurajRoy yes from here, you can use for loop to show data either in your table or whatever html structure you have .. for example check this out - php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php will give you better idea ..

Not tested btw but this should give you some ideas

/* Read the file and assign to a variable */
$data = file_get_contents( 'abc.json' );

/* Decode the json data and create an array */
$json = jsondecode( $data, true );

/* get the array keys */
$keys = array_keys( $json );

/* debug output */
var_dump( $keys );

/* process each node of the json data */
foreach( $json as $arr ){
    foreach( $arr as $obj ) echo $obj->id, $obj->name;
}
