How to return data using cURL call

This returns a token, like: {"token":"260e5b8adf74af6be5dfa250c5ad93c8"}

And I want just want the content part: 260e... Which I think I can get it by using $getInfo['token'], right?

$user="admin";
$password="Moodle15!";
$services="moodle_mobile_app";

$url = "https://localhost/moodle/login/token.php?username=".$user."&password=".$password."&service=".$services."";

$ch = curl_init($url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURL_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$getURL = curl_exec($ch);

$getInfo = json_decode($getURL, true);

$displayToken = $getInfo['token'];
echo $displayToken;

curl_close($ch);

And I don't know what's going on with the CURL_RETURNTRANSFER.

And the error:

Notice: Use of undefined constant CURL_RETURNTRANSFER - assumed 'CURL_RETURNTRANSFER' in C:\xampp\htdocs\moodle\cURL_script.php on line 12

Warning: curl_setopt() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in C:\xampp\htdocs\moodle\cURL_script.php on line 12
{"token":"260e5b8adf74af6be5dfa250c5ad93c8"}

EDITED:

And if I had:

{"id":4,"username":"Jhon","firstname":"smith","lastname":"Reches","fullname":"Jhon smith","email":"[email protected]","department":"","firstaccess":0,"lastaccess":0,"description":"","descriptionformat":1,"profileimageurlsmall":"http:\/\/localhost\/moodle\/pluginfile.php\/25\/user\/icon\/f2","profileimageurl":"http:\/\/localhost\/moodle\/pluginfile.php\/25\/user\/icon\/f1","groups":[],"roles":[{"roleid":5,"name":"","shortname":"student","sortorder":0}],"enrolledcourses":[{"id":3,"fullname":"Game Design","shortname":"Game Design"},{"id":2,"fullname":"Grup de Recerca","shortname":"Grp. Recerca"}]}

How can I acces to 'username'? or 'fullname' when you know there are many 'fullname' in it?

EDITED2:

New code I have now:

$token = "260e5b8adf74af6be5dfa250c5ad93c8";
$funcion="core_enrol_get_enrolled_users";
$courseid="3";
$format="json";
$url= "https://localhost/moodle/webservice/rest/server.php?wstoken=".$token."&wsfunction=".$funcion."&courseid=".$courseid."&moodlewsrestformat=".$format."";   
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$getURL = curl_exec($ch);
$getInfo = json_decode($getURL, true);
$email = $getInfo[2]['email'];
echo $email."</br>";
curl_close($ch);

Now $email contains [email protected] but I have many results, how can I manage to display all of them with a foreach? Because it is a multidimentional array. See below.

[{"id":4,"username":"jhon1.smith1","firstname":"Jhon1","lastname":"Smith1","fullname":"jhon1 smith1","email":"[email protected]","department":"","firstaccess":0,"lastaccess":0,"description":"","descriptionformat":1,"profileimageurlsmall":"http:\/\/localhost\/moodle\/pluginfile.php\/25\/user\/icon\/f2","profileimageurl":"http:\/\/localhost\/moodle\/pluginfile.php\/25\/user\/icon\/f1","groups":[],"roles":[{"roleid":5,"name":"","shortname":"student","sortorder":0}],"enrolledcourses":[{"id":3,"fullname":"Game Design","shortname":"Game Design"},{"id":2,"fullname":"Grup de Recerca","shortname":"Grp.

and I wish:

[email protected]

CURL_RETURNTRANSFER needs to be changed to CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER.

That is affecting what is returned by curl_exec() so you aren't getting the JSON string in $getURL.

Once the constant is corrected, the rest of your code is correct.

EDIT (added):

When dealing with JSON, it helps to format it so it's easier to read, I use jsonlint.com.

Then looking at the structure, if you had:

$data = json_decode($response, true);

Accessing the fullnames from enrolledcourses would be:

echo $data['enrolledcourses'][0]['fullname'];

Or if you were using object notation, rather than associative array:

echo $data->enrolledcourses[0]->fullname;
