PHP find value in JSON

Question

I have no idea why this is not working. The count comes back with the correct size for the array.

Here's the mWeb.json file:

    [{"Title": "Some-Name","h1": "Some-h1-words", "Comments": "Some Comment", "Comments2": "Some Comment2"},
{"Title": "Some-Name b","h1": "Some-h1-words b", "Comments": "Some Comment b", "Comments2": "Some Comment2 b"},
{"Title": "Some-Name c","h1": "Some-h1-words c", "Comments": "Some Comment c", "Comments2": "Some Comment2 c"}]

Here's the code:

    <?
$url = 'mWeb.json';
$JSON = file_get_contents($url);
    $someName = "Some-Name";    
$data = json_decode($JSON);
echo count($data);
for($x=0; $x<count($data); $x++){
    if($data[$x]['Title']==$someName){
        echo '[{"Title":"'.$data[$x]["Title"].'","h1":"'.$data[$x]["h1"].'","Comments":"'.$data[$x]["Comments"].'","Comments2":"'.$data[$x]['Comments2'].'"}]';
    }
}
?>

All the echoes is the length of the array - echo count($data);

If you var_dump($data) you would see that your objects are... objects!

To get an associative array, do this:

$data = json_decode($JSON,true);
