 "request": [ { "title": "Google Custom Search - flowers", "totalResults": 10300000, "searchTerms": "flowers", } ] },

i tried this:

$response = file_get_contents('https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=INSERT-YOUR-KEY&cx=013036536707430787589:_pqjad5hr1a&q=flowers&alt=json '); $json = json_decode($response); echo "Total Result:".$json->request->totalResults;

In your post it's not visible all the json. In my tests it works with this:

$json->queries->request[0]->totalResults;

Perhaps try an if(!is_null($json->request->totalResults)) conditional to see if you're even getting a response.

I am getting a response and the response structure pattern is in json and similar to this url ; code.google.com/apis/customsearch/v1/using_rest.html code$json->request->totalResultscode doesnt seem to work.

I grabbed the JSON from the Google page you linked to and this worked for me: code$json->queries->request[0]->totalResults
