PHP issue json_decode echo array
<?php
$string = file_get_contents("http://www.reddit.com/r/news.json");
$array = json_decode($string, true);
echo $array['data'][0]['children'][0]['data'][0]['title'][0];
?>
I've got a problem- the code doesn't echo anything.
I'm kinda new to json_decode, so any help is appreciated :-)

Here's the url to the exact output, I had to trim the code to fit the character limit so maybe there's something I messed up ! :P

the first 'data' is an object, not an array, and will be decoded to an associative array in php. There is no key '0' for that array. There are similar issues later in the keys you're trying.
Try
echo $array['data']['children'][0]['data']['title']
