javascript - Returning JSON file with cURL to use data in a HighCharts stock chart -

i'm trying free json source of oil price data highcharts stockchart different server curl.

the code have far follows:

<div id="container" style="width:100%; height:400px;">         <?php      $ch = curl_init('https://www.quandl.com/api/v1/datasets/chris/ice_b1.json');     $data = curl_exec($ch);     curl_close($ch);      ?>      <script>           $(function () {        $.getjson('$data', function (data) {         // create chart         $('#container').highcharts('stockchart', {           rangeselector : {             selected : 1           },           title : {             text : description           },           series : [{             name : name             data : data           }         }]       });      });     });   </script> </div> 

but dump raw json browser window rather making beautiful chart.

any appreciated!

you trying use php curl , jquery getjson @ same time, think bit confused.

curl executed server, , in way prints results whenever gets it, not store result in $data because need initialise curl wait response curl_setopt($curl, curlopt_returntransfer, 1);. if save result in php variable $data, variable not available in javascript, since javascript executed on clients machine , not on server. fix

<php echo "<script> data = ".$data."; </script>"; ?> 

which not pretty work. still not work getjson function because function expects url json data , not expect json data parameter..

to make story short, can use getjson function below , delete php code , should work, think want.

 $(function () {          $.getjson('https://www.quandl.com/api/v1/datasets/chris/ice_b1.json', function (data) {             // create chart             $('#container').highcharts('stockchart', {                   rangeselector : {                     selected : 1                 },                  title : {                     text : description                 },                  series : [{                     name : name                     data : data                 }]             });         });      }); 

because getjson tried curl function: json data url provide , store in variable called data.
