  • For debugging purposes: Save the URL in a variable first and output it. Check that the URL is correct. After that edit your question to include the full source code you have and the error message you get.

    Looks fine to me. The only other thing I'd do is make sure it's encoded correctly for use in a URL, ie ...search.php?s=" . urlencode($artist)

The only thing I can think of that wouldn't "work" is if the $artist variable contained characters not suitable for use in a URL (like spaces, punctuation, etc).



PHP has a function that can make strings safe for use in a URL ~ urlencode()...



$artist = 'Pink Floyd'; // spaces should be encoded as "%20" or "+"

$json = file_get_contents(sprintf(

    'http://www.theaudiodb.com/api/v1/json/58424d43204d6564696120/search.php?s=%s', 

    urlencode($artist)));
