Well, I haven't had any sleep (woot 26 hours), and I found that PHP's json decode was not simple, nor clean enough for my taste, so I made an incredibly simple, probably useless function for it.

PHP Code:


			
function jsonParse ($file, $col) {
    $json = file_get_contents($file);
    $obj  = json_decode($json);
    return $obj->{$col};
}

And you would use it like this:

PHP Code:


			
jsonParse ('settings.json', 'name');

Assuming you have a file called "settings.json," and let's just get an example for it:

Code:

{
    "host" : "localhost",
    "user" : "marc",
    "pass" : "lolmypass",
    "name" : "database name"
}
