You are trying to save an object, using file_put_contents. While data parameter this function "Can be either a string, an array or a stream resource"

http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-put-contents.php

Look at this example:

It parses json correctly, but doesn't save anything as well, because php doesn't know, how to serialize $phpObj object.

You need to save raw JSON string:

Then you can read the file and parse it if necessary.
