<?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 :-)

Edit: As a response to a comment, here's what print_r results to:

Array
