JSON Decode in PHP fails using CURL

$ch = curl_init('http://www.somesite.com/project/User?id=1&&user=MYUSER');   
$result = curl_exec($ch);   
print $result;   
curl_close($ch);   
$json=json_decode($result,true);

print "-->".$json;   

print "------>".$json['PASSWORD'];`

The output I get is: 

-->1   
------>

What is the "1" that is appended towards the end? How do i solve it?

My guess is you're using curl incorrectly. You should set CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option to true:

$ch = curl_init('http://www.somesite.com/project/User?id=1&&user=MYUSER');
curl_setopt( CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
$result = curl_exec($ch);   
print $result;   
curl_close($ch);   
$json=json_decode($result,true);

Otherwise you're just printing everything into stdout.

$result = curl_exec($ch); => $result = true, you forgot:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
