So I have this code but its not pulling anything.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://
<html xmlns="<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php
$yelpstring = file_get_contents(" wont give this up that easily", true);

$obj = json_decode($yelpstring);

foreach($obj->businesses as $business):
echo $business->name."<br/>";
endforeach;
?>
</body>
</html>

I mean its pretty straight forward but nothing. Also how do i use json decode to decode an array within an array?

For example the array businesses has another array within it called reviews. how will i do to reviews what i have done to businesses?

Run printr() on the received variable and it's Json decoded versionto get abides of its shape.
Can't help with why the variable is not populated unless you tell us about errors that you are getting. If you are not seeing errors then make sure that error reporting and error display are turned on. If you are still not getting anything then it's not a php problem.

have you turned on error reporting and error display?

Code: 
ini_set('display_errors', true);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
(at the top of your script).

if so, the problem is in the api call. which we cannot help with unless there is a test key that you can share.

oh. i would also say that i don't understand the 'true' at the end of your file_get_contents (). it should be firing an error because it is meaningless. which makes me believe that you do not have error display/reporting turned on.

remove the second argument from the function call. it should then work from a php perspective.

the first line says it all. your server is set up to prohibit external url access. if you cannot change your server config you will have to use curl instead. if you cannot use curl then you will have to change hosts.

curl alternative looks briefly like this

Code: 
$url = '[URL unfurl="true"]http://api.yelp.com/phone_search?phone=9496730570&amp;ywsid=i[/URL] wont give this up that easily';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
