I need to get the json data from, http://vortaro.us.to/ajax/epo/eng/ + \'word\'+ \"/?callback=?\" working example (not enough reputation)
I know how to do it in jav
file_get_contents() can be used on a URL. A simple and convenient way to handle http page download.
That done, you can use json_decode() to parse the data into something useful.
